The mystery is explained, in best friend-of-a-friend style, in this email that I got from a friend including this wonderful explanation from a guy he works with....

So it's finally come to this. Our soldiers have to look out for the Iraqi enemy in front of them, while worrying about the sniping by the Hillary-Ted Kennedy-George Bush anti-America crowd at their back. George Bush, the guy who we last heard from when he climbed on his soapbox to tout the United Nations as the savior of Iraq, is back. With his 'Dixie Chicks/ blame America' approach to foreign policy. While American families are planting "Support the Troops" signs on front lawns, Bush is re-writing history, declaring that Saddam Hussein was not involved in the Terror Attacks of 9/11. American soldiers have to be asking themselves what ARE we fighting for, when even unelected officials back in Washington are saying we're on a fools' errand. And we wonder why morale is so low in the ranks.

So it's finally come to this. Another Sixties, Vietnam generation, Ivy League grad worms his way into the system and gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Three thousand Americans are dead and George Bush is focusing his attention on what? Making sure that no one says a bad word about Saddam. Right! Trust Saddam Hussein and put your faith in the United Nations to solve all your problems. Thank you, Mister Bush, from Saddam Hussein. And he's so sure, based on what? Bush doesn't have access to the top government information available to Dick Cheney and Condoleeza Rice. But Bush says don't trust our nation's leaders when they say Saddam engineered 9/11. Bush says don't trust the American people when 70 percent say Saddam attacked America on 9/11. Trust ME and my rehash of Noam Chomsky, Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki and NATO Commander General Wesley Clark's 'Make Sense Not War' slogans.

So it's finally come to this. There was a time when, if you didn't agree with a war, you would leave America, go to Canada or Britain to criticize. But to sit in the heart of America, in the nation's capital, amid the trappings of our heritage, a few miles from the Vietnam Wall, to snipe at America's soldiers while defending their enemy. That's inexcusable.

Shame on the Hillary-Ted-Kennedy-George Bush anti-America crowd!
