Look, we are on the same side here. But let's put this in perspective: The point of the Committee is to investigate shortfalls in intelligence. Why are we all shocked to hear that the Dems might use what they legally find for political benefit? I mean...duh! Isn't that the point? Isn't that why President Bush has fought so hard to prevent an investigation into the intelligence in the first place???

My own opinion is that the President was 100% right-on about Iraq. The evidence said that Saddam had WMDs, that he was harboring terrorists and that he posed a threat to his neighbors.

Now, IF there was something wrong with the intelligence that lead the president to believe that going into Iraq was the right thing to do...then that faulty inteligence, not the whiny Democrats, not the President and not the Republicans is what is getting all those troops killed.

By blowing this memo thing out of proportion, we are just putting a big spot-light on a committee that no-one even knew about until this afternoon. Heck, even the Dems didn't think they would get much traction from this! (Read the memo: Intelligence issues are clearly secondary to the public's concern regarding the insurgency in Iraq.)

I invite you to show me how idiot Dems attacking the President about allegid inteligence failures translates into dead soldiers.

Can you imagine two Iraqi terrorists sitting in a cave, smokeing from a hooka, and saying:

"Akbar, if it wasn't for our partners in the Democratic party in America I just wouldn't have the motivation to kill another infidel soldier."

Even if the Dems were kissing Bush's butt, those Iraqis would STILL kill Americans at the same pace! Why? Because that's what terrorists do!

They hate our freedoms, so lets not act like a one-party state. Democracy means dealing with people who you don't agree with. It also means those same people are going to want to attack the incumbent even if he is a saint. Get over it and stop being so hyperbolic.
If 9/11 didn't bring down the government, certainly some wimpering Liberals won't.

Let's save our energy for when the Dems try to pull our troops out of Iraq and not waste time over a memo that essentially says nothing.

You've been a member since yesterday. And NO, we are not on the same side as you try to spin the democrat's treachery into something innocent. Nice try though ...

Dead wrong.

If terrorists didn't obtain feedback indicating that they were having an effect in the US, they would lose their recruiting power and attacks would decrease as they sought to regroup.

Democrats provide the feedback they need to keep going.

There's no way in hell killing a few US soldiers would force the US military out of Iraq. It is only possible through using Leftists as the useful idiots they have been since Viet Nam.

Yes...that's right...The Leftists in the US won the war in Viet Nam, not the Viet Cong nor the Chinese.

The translation of democratic shenanigans to dead soldiers is spot on and deadly accurate.

No thank you, newbie. We need to keep the heat on this one.

You look like a leftist, and you smell like a Dem. Are you sure there is a conservative under your mask, or is it just wishful thinking?
