I see. Didn’t remember that either. So if his name was ‘Whiplash’ Ronny Paul (or whoever you are backing) that would supposed to have some political signifigance?
I guess looking at your post you didn’t have a presidential axe to grind. Sorry. I think the reference is a little obscure though.
What is the actual mission in Iraq? The overriding strategic goal? We ARE trying to stabilize unstable governments without clear military goals. You don’t define “victory” as an “acceptable level of violence”. You don’t have victory when your enemies (like Sadr) are still living and dangerous.
“We have to help stabliize that country. “
We’re kind of stuck doing that now, but the country we’ve created in Iraq is a time bomb for one very important reason:
we allowed them to write a constitution that made ISLAM the highest law. That was fine with the State Department, as they’re morons, but it’s obviously a problem. Islam is the root of the problems both in the Middle East and elsewhere. IT is the enemy in this war.
” To think that Bush’s stated position in 2000 somehow means we would be justified in walking away from Iraq after toppling Saddam, pretending it didn’t matter what arose in Saddam’s wake, is ludicrous and not grounded in reality.”
It does matter what follows Saddam. Unfortunately, that’s a sharia state. Read the Iraqi Constitution and stop viewing this whole thing through some sort of unrealistic egalitarian lens.

For old times sake maybe Klayman can become Keyes’ Campaign Legal advisor for the upcoming fleecing.
Wonder if Klayman will pony up the $5,000 that the owner of the website “www.freedomwatch.org” is asking?

It’s been my direct experience that...
...the one thing The LOVE Itself needs more of in this world,
for GOD is LOVE,
...is more LOVE.
And that only comes when...
...people are FREE..!!!
