In War on Terror, Shouldn't Facts Matter?

Americans are nothing if not opinionated. When it comes to politics and war, everyone has an opinion, although few are well-researched. These days, the facts rarely get in the way of a good marketable story. In fact, as best as I can tell, the facts rarely even enter the discussion. So just for fun, let's see if the facts can change anyones opinion. Shall we?

Democratic National Committee's Rhetorical Talking Point # 1 – Bush lied America into Iraq!

[PlainOleAmerican]

Liberals can not dispute a single word of this, but that isn't likely to silence their BS. A MUST READ for all voters though!

[Brilliant]

Ostrich Alert needed.

[PlainOleAmerican]

A call to arms?

[Gritty]

Facts don't change the minds of Liberals. Only emotion does.

They live in their own little shuttered worlds.

[PlainOleAmerican]

All true... But everyone else needs to have the facts placed before them every day between now and November because the MSM is reading from the DNC talking points fax daily.

[Mad Dawg]

This would have been a better article if he'd said when and where the statements were made.

The Democratic National Committee is all about lying.. THATS WHAT THEY DO...

[PlainOleAmerican]

Almost every member of congress made these same statements for years. How do the dates affect the statements? John Kerry's was obviously during his 2004 election bid.

The dems will be the end of us if they get back into power.

A must read book, scary stuff!!!

There is only one fact that need be realized, and that is the single solitary reason American deaths were limited to 3,000 on 9/11 was because al-qaeda exhausted the means to do further damage. Had they the capability of doing so, every last one of 300 million Americans would have been put to the sword. At no point would bin-Laden have called off the dogs, or showed any quarter. That is the mentality we are confronting and unless they are completely eliminated they will continue to kill Americans as they obtain they means. To show them any quarter is merely to allow them the opportunity to rearm.

[Shery]

A very good read! Thanks for the post!

... the MSM is and Al Qaeda are reading from the DNC talking points fax daily

True, and I also made your statement more correct...

[Mad Dawg]

It's just a quibble on my part. I'm just trying to war-game the debate and wondering how many of their statements the Dims can say were based on Bush "lies".

It's VERY helpful that a lot of Dim statements were made during the Clintoon admin, because then they can't say "Well, we just believed that lying SOB president".Ironic isn't it. They had a lying SOB president and they wouldn't admit it, and now they have a frank and open president and they call him a liar. Sheesh!

[PlainOleAmerican]

Absolute TRUTH! But it isn't just Al Qaeda... It's also Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Hamas and a few others. It's also terror states, like Iraq under Hussein, Iran, Syria, North Korea and to some degree, Saudi Arabia...and China.

This war is NOT about one man, one terror network or one nation... It's about an extreme ideology of death and destruction and every one who shares that ideology.

Thank you!

[PlainOleAmerican]

True...Thank you!

Double standards anyone?
