You are wrong.

This is BS.

It is going to do nothing more than turn them into political pawns for Obama. These people worked their whole lives for these operations. They don't need this BS.

Oh, and I see you let Google be your friend and you finally got the unit right....

No Google. Not wrong. Not BS. Your hysteria notwithstanding.

guys you need to listen to merc. he has been there and done that in real life. he speaks with the heart of a soldier. btw, merc is a retired field grade officer from jsoc. he more than likely personally knows personnel involved in this mission.

no politician took out bin laden. it was the guys on the ground who had the balls to squeeze the trigger. now i will climb down off my soap box and return to harassing the elderly

Huh?

It is not a matter of what the present Congress reads but as part of a single source of all Congressional actions, every speech, every debate, ever vote for all to read, now and in the future.

Both economic conservative Grover Norquist and the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce noted that the bill is basically a tax increase."

So are you saying the "legalise rape/ban abortion...." bill would not have passed if the mission recognition had passed?

Ah, so your shorthand is ok (ST6), but mine isn't. Getting a clearer picture of you with every post. Keep 'em coming.

It's done. I linked to it and you read it. Why shouldn't Congress take a 10 minute vote and pass it?

Polotfriggingtics.......... It was a political move. It had nothing to do with the said intent.

These people are blowing political smoke up your ass....

Maybe I shouldn't have come back after all. Why do y'all seem to want to take me on?

No. I was pointing out to a fellow liberal that our wonderful Republican Congress doesn't have 10 minutes to recognize our nation's heroes, but they'll waste whatever time necessary to try to further damage women in this country. I find that disgusting. If that's the "real work" they're doing on my dime, I'd just as soon they go home. YMMV.

These kinds of Thanks of Congress resolutions have been a practice since the American Revolution.

And Mercenary was completely clueless when he said it might compromise those guys on the ground.

They had no intention of honoring said unit! It was a political ploy! The operation was being manipulated by a bunch of politicians for other means!

Where did I say they would be "compromised on the ground"?
