Using tax dollars on national security issues has always been at the very center of conservative thought--I don't know how many times I have to say that. Using money to build up your military and intellegence is not "wasting money." The only people I know who are really complaining about this war and saying it is a failure are liberals--and that is what you are doing, so yeah, I'd say you are a liberal.
our national defense isnt iraqi infrastructure. it isnt training iraqis and paying iraqi salaries. you are playing games now because ive already made clear i support spending for our military but not for iraqs rebuilding.
oh and you need to pay closer attention because there are plenty of conservatives that agreed with the war but didnt think that would obligate us to hundreds of billions and thousands of lives in trying to put together another country.
