Well, he sounds conflicted in his endorsement of Kerry. I guess Sullivan can't get past the how differently the war has turned out as expected.

RECAP - I think that he makes some strong points -

The absence of WMDs is just a miserable failure, pure and simple.

Not anticipating the strength of the insurgency - also a major mistake

I have a hard time getting past these two issues as well

Abu Ghraib. In one gut-wrenching moment, the moral integrity of the war was delivered an almost fatal blow. To be involved in such a vital struggle and through a mixture of negligence and arrogance to have facilitated such a fantastic propaganda victory for the enemy is just unforgivable.

The idea that putting women's panties on prisoner's heads gives a moral victory to those who feed people through plastic shredders and saw their heads off in videos is beyond absurd.

Is Sullivan trying to make us laugh on purpose or what?

One of the biggest factors in the Iraq situation is overlooked by many critics, and Andrew Sullivan overlooks it as well:

The American opposition party, and the American media (but I repeat myself...), were both willing to commit treason in order to regain political power.

Dozens of American soldiers and hundreds of innocent Iraqis have paid with their lives for the aid and comfort given to the insurgents by the Democrats in Congress and in the media.

If people who worked for your company were allowed to sabotage the operations of your company for the promise of better jobs and higher pay, what do you think your place of business would look like?

It would be an unholy shambles, wouldn't it?

BTW - if Kerry gains power through these machinations, he'd better remember that TWO can play that game, and we're more practiced at tubing a corrupt administration.

Andrew Sullivan is a gay, partisan hack.

People don't fall for this nonsense. Don't worry.

With that mentality, you'd have been begging for a truce in Spring, 1943 -- after Kasserine Pass.

Fortunately, you weren't (and aren't) in charge.

Did I see a link on Sullivan's website to "Fisting Saffire"?

This creep has let his faggotry take him around the bend.

He won't be missed.

This entire article is window-dressing and not worth the bits and pixels.

We all know what this is about. The butt-sex. Addiction is terrible. It deeply affects judgment and it makes one say the most idiotic things.

I pray for Andy.

Right Andie, deliver America to Satan for love of sodomy.

Why do you say that?

[OKIEDOC]

Are you a troll? I do not have a problem getting moving past anything accept the drastic changes Kerry will force on this country if elected. If Kerry wins, most of the values that made this country strong will go down the crapper like so much other horse dung that Kerry puts out.

You liberals think that your have the market cornered on smarts and from this viewpoint, it just is not so. How anyone could vote for a person who was a traitor to his country and comrade in arms is beyond me.

This Sullivan person says he wants to leave his doubts to democracy. What a sorry excuse to vote for Kerry. That kind of attitude lends itself to incompetence in the system. Democracy is not something to be left to the whims of waffle minded people like John Kerry. Democracy is something that needs participation.

I believe John Kerry and his ilk believe that 9-11 did not change them. A person has to ask what kind of person would not be changed by the ramming of airplanes into occupied buildings. Do you really want a person who would admit to being so heartless as to summarily dismiss as no big deal the deaths of 3,000 of our precious citizens? I doubt that those individuals jumping out of the 95th floor of the Twin Towers would have agreed with your thinking.

It is scary that John Kerry can lie and conjure up illegal stories. He does this for anything that suits his fancy. Like Al Dimwit Gore, he is so arrogant that he can do nothing but complain about a president that may be just the greatest of all time. Kerry and his crowd have based their whole election on hate. The last time we saw that scenario Adolph Hitler was taking over Germany.

I would ask you Andrew to rethink and vote for a free and safe America.

Well there goes the Log Cabin vote...
