I guess for people like Karen, freedom really is free.
I took the opportunity to read some of her other columns as well. What a sad, sorry woman this is.
It's nice when someone's age finally catch up with their IQ . . . there's a certain symmetry in that and Mizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Kwiatowski has joined a long line of petulant morons who have joined this un-exclusive club.
KK is lying. The official war resolution did not refer to democracy because that was not one of the reasons - in terms of international law - which justified the invasion. Those legal reasons had to do with Iraq's flouting of numerous UN resolutions. But Bush made it clear before the invasion that creating a free and democratic Iraq was indeed one of the ultimate objectives of the war. So these are not "unintended consequences."
Sounds like she's been dating Michael Douglas.
You would think that after a long career as an insider that this chick would have a clue. Read the article linked below to see the tripe she spewed in the summer of '03. I wonder how being this damned wrong does not cause her to reassess her positions.

She must have gotten seriously jilted or used by someone in this administration. I truly wonder if this is a woman scorned.
As a retired military officer, she is of the opinion she knows better, than her past superiors, how to run the United States and kneeling before the Europians (you know, those folks from Europa?) is her style.
As they said in the Navy ... " A bitching man is a happy man". Kwiatkowski's a happy camper and an Arianna want to be.
I can take people who reject the appropriateness, Constitutionality, and feasibility of "Democratic Realism." The way I see it, when any Coalition goes in and changes a dangerous regime, it must instate a peaceful regime in its place. The pre-knowledge that the replacement will greatly enhance security is an appropriate factor in the decision to go in. At the same time, important criteria must be met to justify the invasion, and these were plentifully met in the case of Iraq. End of story.
I can take people who reject that doctrine, but KK goes way over the line into tin-foil-hat territory in her assertion that saber-rattling versus Iran is about justifying the ongoing military presence in Iraq. The most important overall goal of the policy is to reduce threats. So far, nothing in the US policy toward Iran could reasonably be seen as having any other intent.
Does not matter what she calls herself - she is NO Conservative and I doubt she is a Republican either.
Perhaps in her next 'sharing'. . .cretin Karen will tell us what 'form of government works better than Democracy' ; her underlying contempt for the very word. . .seems to imply she might know something better.
Incredible. . .
Just linking your thread to mine.

"...I hear from my military readers that access to websites like LewRockwell.com and the LewRockwell blog is now blocked by military Internet systems. Big Internet providers, like AOL and Earthlink, have long been amenable to governmental electronic data drift nets. Yet these same companies seem curiously less tolerant of customer freedoms, as AOL’s and Earthlink’s recent blocking of subscriptions to Lew’s daily email may illustrate. " ~ Karen Kwiatkowski
"Frank Gaffney, President of the Center for Security Policy, describes people like me who have closely observed the politicization of intelligence leading up to the invasion of Iraq – and said something about it – as having divided loyalties. ...." ~ Karen Kwiatkowski
