Yeah, Libya's giving up its WMD programs was a real bitch.
But at least no Neocons had to die...
What is it with you paleos? You act like the oceans are still a moat that would keep us from ever being attacked. Read the al Qaeda attack plan that has been posted. Their goal is a new caliphate and a decades-long struggle against the West. I'll take a moderate Islamic republic over a radical Islamist regime any day of the week - because the Islamic republic would stand in contrast to the radicals - and the radicals are fighting it tooth and nail.
Islam is antithetical to democracy. The idea that democracy would defeat not just terrorism but Islam was an unproven theory, however attractive it was in concept.
Please do not change titles.
I find the incompetence in Washington incredible.
The reason Bush Sr. did not march on to Bagdad is he had some thinking advisors.
The people of Iraq were better off with Saddam than they will be under this "new democracy".
He had a secular government, in the midst of an Islamic stronghold . He kept religious wars and tension at bay with an iron fist.
We will now have another budding Iran that we set up to govern instead. It has already become a breeding ground for terrorists ( which it was not before )
This is not brain surgery. Some of us without the credentials of the "advisors" saw this as a real possibility before we invaded.
I fear for the Christian minority there. They will have to convert or be slaughtered.
Bush needs to stop the swagger and deal with the issues as they are now
Buchananites and fundamentalist islamicists - united in a love that dare not speak its name.
I don't trust information from unnamed sources anymore.
this is all BS.
Publishing State Department Press releases masquerading as news....rmfe.
Unintended consequences are a bitch? I thought the bitch was Robin Wright.
Gosh, you think maybe Iraqis would be happier if Saddam was still in power, women were being escorted into Rape Rooms, and Uday was running his industrial shredding machines on dissidents?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Hmmm Washington Post, un-named sources, US official familiar with policymaking. Could be another disgruntled State Dept. holdover from x42's administration. Unless someone goes ON RECORD saying something like this, I won't take too much stock in it. Could be someone trying to stir things up to make it look worse than it is.
No matter what facts are presented to the liberal mind regarding terrorism, Saddam, Islam, etc......they just don't get it. It's like showing color scheme swatches to a blind person.

Okay the hilalry/richardson/napolitano big lie on immigration hasn't worked so you all in hillary's basement go back to the old hillary/buchanan/ cindy sheehan/fred phelps/david duke standby of 'neo-con'.
Nuff said.
Oh yeah, The Washington Compost, and The Standard (owned by Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Global China Group)
Now there's a few *cough* *cough* reliable sources with *cough* *cough* unbiased views of the U.S.
I see the Dixie Chicks have an account on Freerepublic...
And what is your ideas for peace in the middle east, appeasement?
Where were you between December 3 2001, and September 17 2004?
And where have you been since September 17, 2004?
Neo-cons, hunh?
Hmm.. I know someone you'll get along with famously:
"Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel."
"My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel."
"Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11."

"My first born was killed violently for a neo-con agenda that only benefits a very chosen few in this world."

“George Bush and his neo-conservatives killed my son.”

Her name is Cindy Sheehan
Bush's program to establish a constitutional democracy in the heart of Arab culture was always a long shot. But it was the morally right thing to do, and it it is succeding better than I might have expected.
If Islamism triumphs over democracy (or Westernism actually) then we will have to kill them all or be killed or convert ot Islam.
Somehow I think that you, Brigadier, are akin to Cindy Sheehan, and would welcome the death of "Neocons." Shameful.
