The military blocks those of us actually IN Afghanistan from viewing videos or listening to streaming audio... ...well unless we are an 0-6 or BGen or higher... then its all the bandwidth you want.

HE MASTERED THE IRAQ WAR WITH THE SURGE. MC CAIN SUPPORTED IT. THAT IS THE PROOF OF ALL. THE AFGHANISTAN SITUATION IS SEPERATE. IRAN IS ANOTHER SITUATION. LETS FACE IT OBAMA HAS ALWAYS MADE THE WRONG DECISION. THIS WAR IS SO VITAL TO GET IT TO END. DO YOU ALL REALIZE THAT SOLDIERS ARE LIVING BECAUSE OF THE SURGE. DO NOT TRY TO PUT MC CAIN DOWN. HE IS A REAL PATRIOT. NOT JUST A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. WHEN WILL WE LEARN THAT WE HAVE THE WRONG PERSON AS PRESIDENT...THE FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC REFORM ACT OF 2005 WAS NEVER PASSED BY THE DEMOCRATS. WHAT AM I TELLING YOU ALL. IT IS BLACK AND WHITE..MC CAIN PRESSED THEM TO OVERSEE AND REGULATE IT AND THEY DID NOT. OUR ECONOMY IS AT SO BAD THAT WE NEED A GEN PETRAEUS TO GET IT DONE WITH MC CAIN BY HIS SIDE. CUT GOV. SPENDING. NO MORE PORK. AND KEEP EVERYONE IN THERE HOMES... THE END MY SUPPORT FOR GENERAL PETRAEUS IS SO GREAT. HE MASTERED THE IRAQ WAR WITH THE SURGE. MC CAIN SUPPORTED IT.
