" I am not a Bush fan like you have assumed, but he has still done more to fight the GWOT (even if you believe there is no threat) than any of his critics have. How trite of you to take credit for an idea that somebody else put into action. All along I have been saying that his critics are quick to point out the issues, but fail to offer viable solutions (or even agree on a viable solution). The liberals are a pathetic excuse for liberals, at least the liberals that established this country actually accomplished something. You people aren't even worthy of a comparison. (Even they reached a war solution.) Patriot?? My arse! I'm still waiting for solutions to the problem (not more blame and empty rhetoric that ignors or fails to acknowlege terrorism)....still waiting....ah yeah...that's what I thought.

As for Heath and Chris, if you don't like civilians exercising their constitutional right to disagree with their government, why don't you go fight for a government that crushes civilian free speech and thought. And no, I'm not a college kid -- I'm 50+ and have worked hard all my ife and I pay big-time taxes that are being wasted to the tune of $2 billion a week in Bush's illegal, immoral war. Hopefully Heath won't get wasted in Iraq, too! "

" Chris, unfortunately it does matter how we got into this war in Iraq, because the Bush administration is conniving to pull the same deal on Iran using equally faulty intelligence coupled with similar scare tactics on the American people. "

" Of course it matters 'how we got there'! And the fact of our troops in Iraq doesn't 'permit' protest; the United States constitution is that guarantee. Wars actually establish climates of 'limitations,' often real suppression of constutional rights. Kohl like Hillary Clinton and Ron Kind voted in 2002 to authorize this ill-conceived adventure; so if Kohl, also like Clinton and Kind, has indeed changed his mind he's rather late but yes better late than never. He's an old man and known as one of the laziest senators (his staff does ALL the heavy lifting) so he's hardly going to get hmmm 'pro-active.' (Wish John Medinger and Herb could uh 'change positions.')... "

" These six reprobates should be arrested for sedition and treason, tried, convicted and shot. I didn't spend two tours in Iraq, fighting, working with Iraqi children and seeing friends get wounded and die for insolents like these sub-humans to question my duty, service and the great cause that we all have contributed. Shame on Senator Kohl for meeting with these traitors! "

" I get upset with anti-war protesters because it doesn't matter anymore why we went in there. It matters now, how we get out. It would be a TERRIBLE mistake to just pull out. It would endanger our country even more to prove to the world that America is weak. It needs to be planned carefully. The men and women who are there are starting to become very frightened that we will begin to treat them as the soldiers were treated during the Vietnam War. Although my stance on the war is neutral, I wish people would be careful what they do publicly because the world, including our troops, are watching. "

" Why does this make a story in the paper? Another Democrat talks with war protesters. I have been on active duty for almost everyday since January 2003. And I have never seen a Wisconsin Democrat over here in iraq visiting Wisconsin troops, and when we leave home to come here we get a rep. from the govenors office to see us off. If they really want to know what is going on,why don't they talk with the people who give these protesters the right to protest and day dream in there safe college classes of what they oppose in the life today.
