I know I'm in the minority of Freepers on this one...but we need o let the Iraq/ 9/11 thing go. Even if there were copntacts and some cooperation that doesn't justify the scale of our response in Iraq and y'all are simply preachingto the choir.

I agree. The more stridently and desperately conservatives defend the pretext for the war the more foolish we look.

We need to focus the reality that we are there now, the consequences of leaving early, the humanitarian good that we have done, what a bad guy Saddam was and our plan to leave Iraq with a stable friendly democracy. That is the way to get the support we need to finish the job - and to not lose the house and senate in the process.

Well said. The facts as they are now need to be dealt with, not the facts as they weren't then.

YOU are not a conservative, but a Dem operative as shown by your posts praising Joe Wilson, and your claims that Murtha never said "Immediate Withdraw" from Iraq.
