For one, it is NOT an ASP podcast, it's a You Served podcast based on my work over [...] AQ Forces Teenage Girl Into Suicide Vest These are the kinds of people that the defeatists want us to leave Iraq in the hands of. These are the kinds of people that groups like Code Pink thinks are "victims" of an American "occupation". These are the people who care nothing about the value of human life and will stop at [...] 9-11 Memorial Cross Unveiled Hide this from the ACLU or they'll be on the warpath to have it taken down!
