Then you might be real surprised when their gratitude was exiguous after you remorselessly wrecked their cities, killed their army (which consisted of other people's husbands, brothers, and sons: Ever think of that?), groped their women when you didn't have time to rape them, and left them without water and electricity.
So our military is going around groping Iraqi women with the intent of raping? Is that the "perfect sense" you are refering to?

Well from once old timer to another I think dementia has taken its toll on you.
Don't you have anything better to do than post this horseshit on here?

Having gotten married somewhere along the way for reasons that escape me at the moment, I am now the happily divorced father of the World's Finest Daughters. Until recently I worked as, among other things, a law-enforcement columnist for the Washington Times. It allowed me to take trips to big cities and to ride around in police cars with the siren going woowoowoo and kick in doors of drug dealers. Recently I changed the column from law enforcement to technology, and now live in Mexico near Guadalajara, having found burros preferable to bureaucrats. My hobbies are wind surfing, scuba, listening to blues, swing-dancing in dirt bars, associating with colorful maniacs, weight-lifting, and people of the other sex.
My principal accomplishment in life, aside from my children, is the discovery that it is possible to jitterbug to the Brandenburgs.

Well, that's where I also stand...but I just do not believe that he's got the sand to completely commit to fighting a war on ALL Islamists Dog, I've got a hypothetical for you - since the Dems are now whining that it's taken longer to finish off in Iraq than it took to win WWII - do you think FDR could have finished off WWII in less than four years with non-stop back-stabbing and calls for a halt to the war from his political opponents? Unfortunately, it isn't about one man's willingness to wage war - it is also about the fact that the Dems are Vietnam-ized and getting worse with each passing day.

"As usual I was a woeful student--if my friend Butch and I hadn't found the mimeograph stencil for the senior Government exam in the school's Dempster Dumpster, I wouldn't have graduated--but was a National Merit Finalist, and in the 99th percentile on the SATs."
I found nothing in his bio that suggests he is not a liberal kook, and plenty to support the ascertion. This is the guy whom you find to have common sense?
"Either Georgie Bush is the minor, depressing, witless ferret I think he is, or I am."
I can answer the question for him. It is he who is the witless ferret. I'll email him to let him know.

Either Georgie Bush is the minor, depressing, witless ferret I think he is, or I am. Well, let's see. One is the President of the United States. The other is an obscure, self-impressed idiot columnist who mistakes his oral flatulence for wit.
Hmmmmmm ... [pondering] ....
My money is on the columnist.

Because we bombed the population into submission, which is not the case in Iraq.

The only issue I have with Bush regarding the WOT is that he hasn't properly labelled it as a war on Islamists. Bush called it a war on radical Islam.
To: FreeReign
Bush called it a war on radical Islam. That only came recently. I wish he had done that from the start.

"Of course, if you have read any history, which Bush hasn't, you will have noticed that people do not like being occupied by force"
Repeats the core lie of the American left and the Europeans on Iraq that "We are fighting the Iraqi people."
It is an absolute lie to say that the insurgents are representative of or supported by the Iraqi people. The truth is that the overwhelming majority of the Iraqi people(even Sunnis) hate and despise the insurgents and want us to help them destroy the terrorists.
Trying to cast this as a war between occupiers and the oppressed is the big lie of our enemy. The freely elected multi-ethnic government of Iraq wants and needs our help.
If you are talking about Iraq and not talking about victory then you are helping the enemy and you need to stop. There will be plenty of time for recriminations later.

mmm England?England's monarchy began decaying about 800 years ago when King John signed the Magna Carta! It is nothing more than a figure head symbol today...the last semi-powerful world monarchy (besides those in the Islamic world) existed in Japan and I point out, unlike the Islamic monarchies, that it was only "semi-powerful" because Shoguns, war lords and, later government ministers (TOJO) really pulled its strings!

It was altogether altruistic for Bush to think that we could present a better way to such a backward people. I think you are correct. We had to topple Saddam, but who knew how resistant islam would be to democracy.
It is unfortunate, but the West is learning as it goes regarding this enemy.

That way, the next time the Saudis threaten to cut off the flow of their oil in response to political pressure...When did the Saudis threaten to cut off the flow of their oil?
I recall the opposite.
To: meandog
Sorry .. but anybody who is so disrespectful of the President as to call him "Georgie Bush" doesn't get any respect or attention from me .. regardless of his supposed "credentials".

Fred Reed is a Kook in the first degree. Go to his website and read his columns.
I cant believe the media actually finds him a credible editorialist. (actually I can if he bashes bush)

...but he makes the point that Bush hasn't yet laid out his Iraq agenda to the countryIn other words, Bush should make public his strategies for winning the war??? I can hear the terrorists applauding and cheering that revelation.

It was totally unnecessary to include it in an otherwise good thought piece and it was, at best, an outrageous lie about the finest men and women that America produces!

When did the Saudis threaten to cut off the flow of their oil? I guess you missed the stories a couple of years ago about how the Saudis plan to sabotage their wells in case of military action against them.
