Bogus survey. The right answer is "None Of The Above". I like Air.177's solution.

McCain. End of story. He's the ONLY candidate who has gone on record as saying that winning in Iraq is more important than any personal political ambitions. He's backed it up with his words (easy for a POL), despite the hit in the Polls (not easy for a POL/Candidate).

Yeah, that's the stuff. I love that character. "Any Questions?" "Yes sir, How do I get out of this Chickenshit outfit?" "You Secure that shit Hudson!" Great movie.

I had a Team Sergeant who always waited for the generic, "Any questions?" line.

He would always raise his hand and ask, "Do you think the Beatles will ever get back together?"

This was not normally well received by the person who asked.

Hijack over, back to the poll.

Well the POLICE got back together??

Back to the "Vote"..

If the Dems win, they will pull us out. I'll guve them 3-5 Yrs for something to happen not OCONUS. But happen on our Shores again.

The Police did not have several dead members.

Agree with your assessment of politics, but I think it will happen sooner if the Dems win.

After that there will be a backlash. Frankly, I would require all citizens to swear an oath of loyalty to the United States, and make violating it criminal.
