And Andrew, the good intentions that of which you spoke, were those intentions to hunt down and prosecute the "man that tried to kill my Dad"? And the "cost" you keep mentioning,would that be the price of a soldiers life?

I would almost give up everything(that is material things) to go back to the 60's. Life was so much simpler...or was it? I need to ask my Mother about that. But really, everything seemed so "Andy Griffith or Beaver Cleaver". I do really miss those days.

So much for the "preview comments" section. Great. Lol

I hope everyone has a gerat Thanksgiving. May you and your families be safe in your travels. Remember our troops in your prayers today as well as every other day. God Bless.

So much has been written over the last few days about Palin and the Republican Party. If she is on the ticket in 2012 it will be a second term for President Obama or another Democrat. I somewhat agree with some of the comments about Condolezza Rice and her being on the Rep. ticket. I believe if she had been on the ticket with McCain, we would not be having this conversation at all. But from my observations only, I thought that at the end of the Bush presidency that maybe the reins had been tightened up on Condi as they were on Colin Powell 4 years earlier. By the way, I think Colin Powell would be one of the greatest Presidents since Kennedy. Oops, that may have let it out of the bag I may lean to the left... that and I almost always agree with Alprova.

Really amazing how Sarah Palin can stir up this much controversy after watching another interview yesterday with Oprah. Ms. Winfrey was able to show, as Katie Couric did, why John McCain made such a "political bluder" for his choice for VP.

Lightnup seems somewhat touchy about this SUBJECT Alprova!

Alprova, VERY WELL STATED! THANK YOU. SAVES ME TIME TYPING.

And Cbenn 7630, thank your son or daughter, for their service. That is what this forum was about. Thank you all that are and have served.
