Title: Truck Driver/Lease Operator

Bio: Where do you start with something like this. I'm your typical white male. I'm married, for the third time. I have 9 kids and 4 grandchildren. Currently I'm an OTR truck driver. I've been doing it for the past year and a half, but I've had several careers. This one is just the latest. In the past I've tried selling cars. That didn't last long. I should say it didn't take me very long to figure out that I'm to honest to sell cars. I've spent lots of years in the restaurant business. Most of that was in the pizza business either as a manager for other or for myself. I also spent 8 years in the Air Force working in ER's and flying Aeromedical Evacuation. I have to say, the biggest mistake I've ever made was getting out. Anything else you want to know, just ask. I'll tell you.

Rate: 3 Flag

During the 12 o'clock EDT hours today Voice to America reported, and it was confirmed by their citizen reporters and some European media, that American ground combat troops, supported by American air power, have been called in by the Iraq government because of an attack on an army base in the Bagdad area.

Reports are that waves of suicide bombers, attacking in pairs, have been breaching the base for the last few days and blowing themselves up. These attacks are supported by standard arms fire. Early reports are several wounded and 7 KIA.

So what does this do to the announcement by President Obama 5 days ago that combat operations have ended and that our combat troops were pulled out 2 weeks ahead of schedule?

Does this add anything to those who were against announcing a pullout date saying that now the enemy knows when we are leaving they will just hold back until we are gone then resume their attacks?

I am so happy to have my oldest out of there for good. The rest of the withdrawal, which will bring my precious baby girl home, CAN'T HAPPEN FAST ENOUGH!

If I had one fantasy to come true it would be to catch a chicken hawk punk like Wolfowitz or Cheney in a dark alley ...

From one old guy to another, remind her of the Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods song from the 70's Billy Don't Be A Hero. It may have been written about the Civil War and done during the Vietnam war, but it's true about this one also.
