I hope no one gets the illusion that I am a Dean supporter. I did vote for Bush (43) twice and I thought him friendly to Israel.
I still personally like him though Bush (43) comes for some nasty criticism even on the cyberpages of the Free Republic.
Saddam Hussein had weakened his country's military so much it was obviously just a matter of time until the Iranians restarted the previous Iran/Iraq war.
That would put Iraq's oil, as well as that of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States at risk of being taken over by Iran.
Can't have that.
The Farleftwingtards in the Democrat party buy into the "about Israel" thesis so much they come off looking like the anti-Semites they really are. The guys over here just hate giving money away (fighting a war or providing military aid) when it involves Jews.
Bush(43) is being attacked ostensibly for spending too much money on a Middle Eastern war. It's really about the hatred or dislike his critics have for Israel or Jews. You'll find the same folks supporting Ron Paul ~ who is equally anti-Semitic.
