I cannot post Monday -

[Joe for Clark]

Be a tough day for me.

Probably be a bad day in stocks - tell you that.

But I saw some data- 48 hours ago - gives me great pause.

I have expected the greatest vulnerability - in the war- it will develope probably north of us now.

In fact south of Kirkuk and toward the highway.

I think it will develop pretty quick.

4. That has got to be brutal, my friend. Know you have buddies here

for love and support, and keep the faith (I know, easy for me to say). :hug:

[Joe for Clark]

9. Oh no - don't say that.

I know there are many here that are great support - including you!!

I really am, at my heart - a dorky 19th century history student - I really am.

Maybe 20th century - -I admit this freely.

And this is about to blow.

3. Hang in there and hoping the best for your kid

and all the others.

[Joe for Clark]

5. Thank you.

I think he may be ok in the south.

And I know I may just be some dorky 19th century history student -maybe.

But I can read a map.

And I know what I saw.

6. Turkey had enough?

I'm surprised they stayed out this long.

8. Joe, I think of you - and your boy

every day.

My boy is still sitting stateside (by the grace of god) but...

10. When he gets orders to go -take a hammer and break his wrist.

Listen man -my kid has killed - and I know - that is never going away.

Keep the kid out of it - however you can - that kid will have to live with stuff for a long, long time.

13. I threatened to shoot him in the foot....

but apparently that doesn't work anymore. :(

I will heed your advice. Luckily, they put him in the Honor Guard... they appear to be safe, so far.

extra :hug: ! (send it to your kid, and tell him to pass it around.) :cry:

[Joe for Clark]

14. I thought once - he would be open to a CO deal -

My heart was crushed. What a little soldier boy.

He ain't the parent here - you are. Keep him out.

I am warning you - this can get very deep very fast. I know.

15. Damn This Administration

for making us sit and watch what we know is going to happen, again and again.

[Joe for Clark]

16. They will be.

Too late for us though.


What so ever you do, to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me -

There appears to be a contest of faith going on here -don't you think??

18. So It Does And My Faith Doesn't Want Any Part

of whatever Hell this admiistration is professing for us.
