I can say this, I was shocked by the rhetoric I heard coming from Obama and now Biden about the beheadings that took place. They reek of the same Cowboy mentality that I heard coming from bUsh all those years ago. Follow Them to The Gates of Hell is not much different than Wanted Dead or Alive.

I think the thing that will prevent another unnecessary war is the American People. We've now seen up close and personal what it can do to our men and women and that it is not as easy as going in to liberate-


As bUsh said: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

I am hoping that that is the case anyway, that Americans don't want another war...
