The Iraq War is about much more than "democracy" and it's certainly not about anything "altruistic" or the spreading of "Americanism"....or anything like that.

Evidently you missed ALL of GWB's stump speeches.

Agreed, we took out a terrorist-supporter w/Hussein. Agreed, we are taking out a bunch of Islamofascists in Fallujah and other garden spots.

But GWB's rhetoric was all about 'freedom' for the Iraqi citizens.

Don't try to argue otherwise.

I'll argue anything I want - and I can back it up. Evidently, while you were absorbing what you deem to be "information" via President Bush's "stump" speeches, I was staying busy dealing with the real meat of the matter.

You see, there's "media truth" and then there's the "real truth". All politicians stump - President Bush is no exception. However, if you had access to INTELLIGENCE, rather than just plain old media (be that alternative or traditional), you'd quickly realize the things I pointed out are very, very true.

Of course, we want freedom for the Iraqi people. However, our presence in Iraq is - no, really....I'm not kidding...it really IS - about much more than that. One thing many folks fail to even consider is the possibility that maybe, just MAYBE, we're in Iraq to give the terrorist scum a place to play their nasty little games -- far, far removed from American soil.

I've lost friends over there. Every loss hurts. However, thousands of Americans lost on 9/11. THAT is what we are doing our best to prevent. Period.

I'll be BACK in Iraq this time next year...yes, BACK -- and I go gladly. I, along with my fellow servicemembers, "get it".

We must succeed there - or they will succeed here.

Now...YOU don't try to argue otherwise!
