What You Think About Zarqawi's Death Determines whether You're American, Or Not American

[Froufrou]

God bless him, indeed. What bothers me most is the high percentage of blogs I've seen where the opinions are obviously the result of high propoganda.

The sheeple who buy into it are incapable of comprehending the idea that there is no proof to what they've been spoon-fed. Oblivious.

War for oil my a@@!

Amen, Brother. The best thing you can do with a traitorous, anti-war leftist is give them a proverbial bitchslap. That means calling them traitors, cowards, etc...whatever it takes to astound them. They do not respond to reason, so you need to ellicit a profound emotional response...just like slapping a hysterical person across the face.

I am not only happy that Zarqawi is dead,

I am happy for each of those 72 virgins who now have a "piece" of him for their very own!

Gee, it's really pretty simple. You don't even have to look at passports. All you have to do is study what the P'sOS on the Democrat left say about it and then look at what normal people say.

[N. Theknow]

Time for conservatives to start responding to leftists with "As a matter of fact, I do question your patriotism".

I have responded to several with the statement, "No, I'm not questioning your patriotism. You haven't shown any patriotism. If you ever manage to grow the brains and/or balls to show some, then I might question it."

That was well thought-out and well written. ...good work!

You can support the troops but not the president."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years."
--Joe Scarborough (R-FL)

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"
--Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

"[The] President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."
--Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)

"American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."
--Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."
--Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
--Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)

Correct me if I am wrong but all those quotes have nothing to do with Iraq and were uttered during Clinton's undeclared and unauthorized war in Kosovo?

[Bob Dobalina]

The argument seems to be here that one cannot support the troops without supporting the war. These quotes would seem to neatly refute that.
As to "undeclared", every war this country has engaged in since 1941 has been undeclared. And this one is unauthorized as well. The AUMF did not authorize President Bush to undertake a war unrelated to the 9/11 attacks, which consensus and facts bear out is the nature of this war. It has been clearly demonstrated that there was no connection between 9/11 and Iraq. The administration has even backpedals implications to that effect. Richard Perle has said that this war was a mistake. Francis Fukuyama, an original architect of neoconservativism, has repudiated the philosophy. Alliances and consensus within NATO and the world community in general that drove the action in Kosovo do not exist here. It seems to me to be more about which party is in power than whether the stated casus belli is valid (another major difference between Iraq and Kosovo) in the perceptiuns of the commenters on this site.

[usmcobra]

That's your argument, mine is that you are using various quotations out of context from an entirely different war and in an entirely different time.

Bill Clinton made no attempt what so ever to solve the Kosovo crisis in the UN or through diplomacy. Instead like the cowboy every liberal accuses Bush of being Bill Clinton acted without UN approval, or Congress's approval or even the people's approval, and sadly his presidency is full of such cowboy diplomacy where he acted without the type of approval Bush had to fight for at every turn.
