Your profile tells me everything I need to know about you; you love to incite pissing contests. Fine.
The fundamental, moral and practical imperative for bringing the fight to Iraq is undoubtable. That, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, you'd refute this tells me your unwilling to budge (bitterly, no doubt) based on pre-conceived notions of what you THINK the war on terror is all about. It all comes down to a simple question in this instance: do you feel that priority targets (be them Al Qaeda or Taliban in nature) are essentially useless to go after because more will just "spring up in their place"?
In Fallujah and Baqubah we killed literally thousands of Talibani recruits and stifled a dangerous and burgeoning arm of extreme militant Islam. The progress and the within Iraq for the name of protecting liberty is all the evidence you need to justify the invasion, even before you consider our ousting of the most criminal and abhorrent dictator in the region
The fundamental, moral and practical imperative for bringing the fight to Iraq is undoubtable.Wow. Well, somehow I'm magically able to doubt something undoubtable. I guess I'm special.
It all comes down to a simple question in this instance: do you feel that priority targets (be them Al Qaeda or Taliban in nature) are essentially useless to go after because more will just "spring up in their place"?This is a straw man argument. I never said that or even implied it.
In Fallujah and Baqubah we killed literally thousands of Talibani recruits and stifled a dangerous and burgeoning arm of extreme militant Islam.What are you talking about? No one in either of these locations had anything whatsoever to do with the Taliban. This is just plain fiction.
The progress and the within Iraq for the name of protecting liberty is all the evidence you need to justify the invasion...Iraq used to be a place where the was water and power and innocent people could walk the streets without getting blown to pieces. It used to be a place where you could be openly Christian without being murdered. I'm not saying that it was better under Saddam — no, that opinion comes from Iraqis themselves. Iraq is a mess. You have an awfully ignorant definition of "progress." Your baseless claims are propaganda. The truth on the ground is not as you describe it.
I don't really care what you believe. The American public doesn't buy this line anymore. Frankly, they don't really know what's going on either, but they just want it to stop. I'm saying it never should have started in the first place.
