In 2003, Bush led conservatives down the garden path into this Wilsonian/nation-building quagmire and they followed him without question. Some starry-eyed types predicated that Iraqis were liberty loving quasi-Jeffersonians, that the Iraq occupation would set off a "democratic" chain reaction, and that the Iraqi war would "pay for itself" via oil.

Fortunately, after three years of failed predications of success, some conservatives, like Brownback, are beginning to realize that this is a utopian enterprise. Unlike some folks here, they have lost their patience with a policy that has created a Shi'ite fundamentalist tyranny of the majority of Iraq.

My several relatives who have served in Iraq and still serving don't agree with you.
When you understand history and warfare, comeback

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. And I'm sure that all of my friends in the military would STRONGLY disagree with you.

Fortunately, after three years ...

It is tempting to pull your post, but the forum might enjoy a piñata tonight - especially the ones serving - or who have loved ones serving in Iraq.

Sounds rather 'Ted Kazinski-ish' if you ask me.

Manifestos like yours are entertaining for the most part, it must take hours to come up with all those catchy little paraphrases.

You do parrot several DUmmies that have been lurking here lately, should we do some research into your past sincerity?
