Thank You Chris. It's refreshing to hear from "the horse's mouth" once in
awhile. The anti-American nay-sayers in the media are starting to convince
some of the more susceptible among us that we are indeed "losing" this war.
Just like VN. We didn't lose that country in the battlefield we lost it
on the home front. The anti-American media again. And the losers that
believe them.
