Was there a point? Both thedrudge report and worldnetdaily are extremely slanted sources of information. The fact that you refer to them for 'news' shows a failure to accurately judge information.
News sources that are considered reliable, like the AP or reuters, would be much more believable.
Showing a gold star mother who supports the war does not relate to the question. There will always be people on both sides of an issue. Just because one side exists does not invalidate the other.
I find all this talk about 'support the troops' actually ironic, because when an actual Iraq veteran recently ran for congress, his name and service were openly attacked and smeared because he did not support Bushes actions. I guess the support only goes as far as people do not question Bush.
Regardless, that mothers statements is besides the point. Saying 'for freedom' and 'stay the course' does not reflect upon how we are protecting our soldiers. It does not answer how we are going to resolve the problems in Iraq, nor how a 'cakewalk' that was supposed to be over years ago became such a quagmire that we are apparently stuck there indefinitely. It does not answer many questions. If we want our soldiers safe, and the situation in Iraq resolved, we are going to need better answers than 'stay the course'.
Dismissing these questions is the real disservice to the troops.
But lets let a gold star father speak for himself
