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.
No... you're just wrong. Not special.

Wrong
Iraq used to be a place where the was water and power and innocent people could walk the streets without getting blown to pieces.

Hahahaha.. oh lord, please... stop. My ribs ache. Read any of the COUNTLESS stories on former Iraqis returning to help rebuild their fledgling democracy. Read the NY Times article on Dr. Tamimi who left Canada and a great life to become the mayor of Baghdad. Read about the Kurdish society in the north, where universities, shops and an airport now reside. These people were the largest group in the middle-east without a nation; I suspect even in your twisted logic you can find a place in there to approve of that "progress."
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.
Finally, you admit that you don't care what I think... If that doesn't constitute an admission that you don't know what the hell you're talking about, nothing ever will. After all, you responded to me. If you didn't care, you could've just shut up. Fascinating
