By correlation, if the mission is “lunacy” than those that are willingly supporting it and singing up for the job must be “lunatics”.

BS

If the mission is "lunacy", the the thousands and thousands of soldiers who volunteered to take part in the mission after it already began are lunatics as well.

You have no argument.

I think I agree with you on this assessment. I don’t think it necessarily follows from calling the mission “lunacy” that the soldiers would be “lunatics”. However, I think there are bigger problems ...

>> Baldwin decried “the bi-partisan complicity that has allowed the illegal, immoral, unconstitutional war that has resulted in the slaughter of four thousand American soldiers and untold innocent Iraqis”.

Even beyond the unsupportable declaration that the Iraq War is “illegal, immoral, unconstitutional” (which shows an abject misunderstanding of the Constitution, on which he supposedly bases his ideology) — the declaration that American soldiers have killed “untold innocent” Iraqi civilians is unquestionably a libel of noble servicemen.

The war is neither illegal, nor unconstitutional (its morality, I suppose, is debatable ... though I’ll not vote for an individual to whom the morality of this war is a debatable point). And, American soliders have not “slaughtered” innocent Iraqis.

With such nonsense as this and Bob Barr’s nonsensical railing against the Patriot Act, from supposedly conservative third-party candidates ... I see no third party which offers an alternative preferable to John McCain.
