Americans should discourage everyone they know from joining the military until Bush is out of office and this adventure war, started on a whim, has ended. There is no honour in this war - none. There is also very little chance of the US “winning” it now (however that is defined), and all military deaths in Iraq were for nothing, which is absolutely unconscionable. What was done to Iraq and Iraqis was murderous.
The only person in America who does NOT honour the troops is their Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush.

If there was anything I learned in the Army (‘69-72), is that you can’t trust anything they say; that includes their statistics, their estimates and their promises.

We should arrest boy bush today on this case alone. Mr. Snyder has refused to commit war crimes-his civilized duty under Geneva. bush, in turn is insisting he commit those war crimes, i.e. the crime is in progress.
Report thisHe’s not president-arrest his soft spoiled ass, and get that trillion he stole off of him, and apologize to the world for allowing a rabid klansman to usurp gvt processes, and we’ll get back to reality, and have songs on the radio again.
Stand strong, Mr. Snyder. Don’t let that chickenhawk panzy send you ANYWHERE.

You mean you can’t trust the American government to keep its word? Go figure.

America’s “authorities” have PROVEN to the world that their word is worthless… even when it’s in writing in a treaty! To trust American authorities, especially with your LIFE, Mr. Snyder, is not the decision I would have made.
Canada ain’t perfect… but it’s one hell of a lot more honest and trustworthy a country than the USA has turned out to be. You were in a far better place.

Where does integrity come into the “VOLUNTEER” concept? It looks like only the Government can get away with lying, breaking contracts and a total disregard for accountability. I am afraid that Mr. Snyder is just a cog in the wars’ wheel and he will not see justice done. I am too poor to leave this country but I can no longer feel the pride and confidence that I had before this Bush dictatorship. Sandy Swain
