Donovan,

Golly, you make it sound like Bush is personally shooting the troops. How
exactly are our troops (whom I support wholeheartedly) being ignored and
mistreated? What needs and saftey issues are not being addressed? I am
unclear on these issues.

Also, do we know anything about General Clark other than the fact that he is
a veteran who sympathizes with soldiers? I wouldn't want to throw my lot in
with a fellow who stands on only one issue.

Just some questions,
Deacon
