This is supporting our troops?????
What kind of a jackass would try so hard to spin that things are going well in Iraq that they would say a soldier would be in more danger in DC than in Iraq? How about a Republican congressman from Iowa? And how about O'Reilly and Limbaugh repeating it? Worse yet, the statistics the congressman used were completely false.
Even if the stats did back up his idiotic claim, how could a congressman be so insulting to our soldiers as to dismiss what they are going through as no more dangerous than a stroll through Washington, D.C.?

Owen Robinson of Boots and Sabers ran out nonsense to that effect last March we he debated on the Iraq withdrawal, and said there were more murders on a daily basis in Houston.
I defend the right for conservatives to say what they say. It would be nice if they got things right from time to time.
Hey, could this be the reason our troops can't get the supplies they need to fight this war?!? Oh, hell, they don't need armor plating -- it's just a walk in the park.
And, if it isn't dangerous, why aren't these guys who sit here safe and happy lining up to enlist and go overthere for the "cakewalk"?
