Finish The Job In Iraq

Posted by republican4life 578 days ago (Suggestion)
As of today, it looks like Obama's making yet more moves to marginalize our military and risk our national security for the sake of political expediency.Obama has indicated he wants a faster pullout of troops than General Petraeus believes is necessary to ensure the ongoing security of the country.

Why don't we finish our job and honor the troops work to date!

Stop threatening our nationa Read More »
I am concerned for our country and very afraid the we are sending the wrong message to our enemies that we are not taking terrorism acts and threats very seriously. Please be careful on your thoughts of dropping charges against detainees being held at Gitmo. I feel the families of victims that lost their lives ,in the acts of terrorism against us and other countries , are not being properly served and the proper justice will not be taken. I also feel that this opens windows to further acts of terror by hate groups that really do not like America. Please, Please, Please think this out very carefully. America deserves to feel safe and the families of lost loved ones deserve proper justice.
Thank you!
Respectfully,

Currently the Two State solution for the Arab-Israeli conflict envisions a Palestinian state free of Jews and other religious minorities (hence the focus on removal of "settlements"). However, the USA should not support the creation of a religious apartheid state.

Israel currently has 1.5 million Muslims and numerous other religious minorities including Christians and Bahais granted full citizenship rights in Israel proper.

The Administration should require that the future Palestinian state grant full citizenship to all religious minorities (including Jews, Christians, Bahai, Hindu and Buddhist) currently living in or living in the future in the new Palestinian state. Read More »

A Cheap Way to End The War

A Cheap way to end the war in Iraq: Instead of using bombs, we use big bags of pennies and drop them. That way the war will end, Iraq will get their reparations (the pennies) and all will be well. Read More »
I learned from the news recently that there have been more suicides of the young men currently serving in our military, than have been war deaths, in our current society! This is because our government currently has no limits on the amount of tours they demand of these young men, especially the ones serving on the front lines of battle. And once you are in the military, you have no way out. You have no free speech, you have no free will, you are at the mercy of the brutal wars you are forced to keep fighting, and killing, and being subjected to, over and over. Many of these young men are on their FOURTH tour!

There are a number of family videos posted on the web, describing the men's horror they feel, of experiencing death and killing over and over, and their loved ones describin Read More »
I would go AWOL before I killed myself because of the military's abuse of my spirit! I think that their tours should not be limited to 2, but only 1. One tour is enough if you are drafted to serve. And if you are drafted to fight on the front lines, your tour should not be limited to 1/2 tour on the front, and the rest of it on the back, but only WEEKS, like 8 WEEKS or so, MAX. Maybe that's even too much. Forced killing, and seeing the killed and the dead, over and over, day after day, is brutality to your spirit, like we can hardly imagine. It's like being forced to see REALLY BRUTAL, SCARY HORROR MOVIES over and over, one worse than the next. That would really make anyone crazy, and I can see why they are committing suicide. Their "remedy" of now forcing the men to go to a "class Read More »
Why not enroll USA in United Nations International Criminal Court (ICC) and prosecute all Guantanamo Bay detainees in that court due process? These are international crimes the prisoners are alleged with, some are charged with crimes against humanity. USA should be an active strong member supportive of the ICC, please enroll us without further delay. The matter of trial should be within the scope of the International Criminal Court. It may help resolve the issue complicating closing Gitmo today. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to share this idea!

Solution to Guantanamo Detension Center

Posted by Parkerj66 472 days ago (Suggestion)
I suggest that we just exchange some of the current dangerous prisoners in our Super Max prison(s) with the detainees in Guantanamo. Put the US citizens on the island and put the detainees in the Super Max. No cost for new prisons and we eliminate the negative image of detainees in Guantanamo. Read More »
IF I UNDERSTAND ISLAMIC BELIEFS CORRECTLY, WHY NOT JUST SPRAY THE COMBATANTS WITH PIG'S BLOOD ?

Unbelievable...

How can we WIN?
How can we stop all of this economic senselessness?
Who are You?
Are you the same as the old boss?

Can You...

Save the economy.
(not just continue giving away several trillion dollars to crooks, incompetent businessmen, and common people who made horrible financial errors...)

End the Oil War.

Create a better future.

Step up to the plate like you said you would???

There is a simple solution.

It will be met with tremendous backlash.

But perseverence and long term rewards gained will be marveled at by those who were the loudest opponents and critics.
And those same people will try to take credit for something they vehemently rejected.

You will be able to take solace in knowing that you truely changed the world, saved the econ Read More »

Military Recruiting + GLetcSensitivity

Posted by cyberharque 324 days ago (Suggestion)
Please listen to this old Village People recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InBXu-iY7cw
In the Navy.

No, seriously, you really don't know or have forgotten this recording. It will take 5 minutes of your time, you slack off more time than that every hour.

Now listen to the recording. This stuff sells itself if you listen to it.

And I'm a practicing Roman Catholic, so it's not like I am turning cartwheels about the growth of nontraditional lifestyles. But this is about the 21st Century and the way things are going to be. This video will help on many fronts. Read More »

diplomacy to stop the wars

Posted by rick2 296 days ago (Suggestion)
I believe that the remarks made by President G. W. Bush, specifically, calling three countries "evil" and his comment about a "crusade" after 9-11, have made victory by war, impossible. I suggest that the president address the nation and world and say something like the following.

"it was a mistake to say countries are evil. I believe that each society is generally trying to do the best they can, based on what they were taught, to provide for themselves and their families and to preserve their way of life. I also believe that it was unfortunate for former president Bush to suggest that the west may launch a crusade. I believe that that remark may have been interpreted by the Muslim world as an attack on their religious beliefs and a threat to them personally. And I do not thi Read More »
Instead of spending all our US dollars on Wars attempting to find Waldo (the Al Qaeda gang), and ultimately bankrupting our country in the process, why don't we focus on protecting our own borders and redistributing funds to the security of the US rather than to 2 wars in other countries? We could hire more people (increasing employment) to investigate and look into all VISA's of the immigrated folks (say from 1990 to present) from the countries who harbor terrorists (securing our own country from further attacks). We would check their backgrounds and find out why they are in the US, and if it smells like a rat, export them back to their country of origin. We would pour the war money into our VISA, Immigration and CIA departments, making it more difficult to obtain a VISA to the US b Read More »
