A suggestion, you lefties might want to send a message to the big media to stop calling them "Insurgents" then. Oh wait, they know the truth... nevermind. Insurgents, not Iraqi freedom fighters. Pay attention to their choice of wording. These "Iraqi citizens" that you mention come from Syria, Iran, and as far away as the U.S. (what, you think you can't hop on a plane too?) to fight the infidels in Iraq.
But then, you've spoken with the hostages we've taken, correct? You're well acquainted with their dialects, and that their governments support their presence by providing transport to the border, I'm sure.
Doh. My new favorite friend got modded. Disregard above postnugget.
Chrissies been sharing too many latte's with Katrina vanden Huevel.
Robert Marley??
Thanks for posting! Bookmark for later...
Expose the left then defund the left.
Thanks for the ping.
Do not let the Left frame the debate by adopting their terminology.
I would strongly suggest to Kristinn or any other spokesmen to categorically reject being tarred with the moniker "pro-war." For one thing, it flatters an enemy that is holding no territory to be described as participating in a war.
Second, the only people who are for 'the war' are those who are perpetuating bloodshed in order to install another terrorist-friendly dictatorship to replace the previous one.
The coalition -- from the troops to the commanders to the civilian leadership -- are NOT pro-war. Neither are the vast majority of the Iraqi people. They are doing their damndest to end the violence so that we can bring our troops home, give the Iraqis back their country and concentrate our resources upon rebuilding and fostering democracy.
One can be FOR having forcibly removed Saddam. One can be FOR a precipitous withdrawal, followed by a bloody civil war, followed by OBL being triumphantly carried into Baghdad. One can be FOR staying until Iraq is stable, peaceful and self-sustaining.
Given that the loss of life was far greater under Saddam, it can hardly be argued that Iraq was at peace prior to his ouster.
These are the types of things that must be said if asked if one is FOR 'the war.'
Thanks for the suggested "talking points". I don't think well or quickly "on my feet" so I appreciate help like this.
Bump for later.
Concurring bump. Thanks for the post, Ian.
I'm waiting for one of these clowns to come out and say the obvious, that the U.S. Government ought to accept responsibility for, and apologize for, the "genocide" of the Neanderthals, and offer to pay reparations with interest to anyone who feels offended by their disappearance, back to a nominal extinction date around 75,000 B.C.
Think that would be sincere enough?
