How juvenile - to call me names (”peacenik”, “Rich Gere”) because I oppose a disastrous war that you supported.

By your “logic”, the people who opposed Obama’s war in Lybia are “peaceniks”. And Krauthammer’s a “peacenick” because he didn’t support Obama’s call for war against Syria.

Intelligent people judge every war or proposed war on its own facts. Opposing a disastrous war doesn’t make someone a “peacenik” - it means he’s prudent.

Which you, dotty one, are definitely not.

Oh, so now it's juvenile to point out that you have adopted the Hippy Peacenik views from the 60s and 70s, and Richard Tiffany Gere's view of only a couple of days after 09/11/2001?  It makes you feel the need to belittle me being called on what you're up to, then perhaps you should rethink YOUR juvenile behavior.

No, Libya and Syria did nothing against the United States or the West.  They weren't actively waging war against Israel.  They hadn't invaded or attacked five nations in their direct vicinty.  They weren't paying rewards to the families of terrorists who carried out terrorist acts against Israel or the United States.  Saddam Hussein was.  He was under orders to open up his facilities to inspectors for free access.  He wasn't allowed to move his armies across certain points to attack Iraq's citizens in the north or the south.  He wasn't allowed to fly aircraft out of certain zones.  He wasn't allowed ot move his troops up to the borders of foreign nations.  He did every one of these things.

Peaceniks oppose all wars.  Hellllooooooo Peacenik.

Yep, intelligent people do judge every war by it's merits.  And ignorant people convince themselves they are intellgent so they can oppose anything they like.  For instance, they'll even make the claim they are brilliant, by opposing the prevention of a terrorist state from obtaining nuclear weapons.   They'll denigrate other wars, and point to all the negatives to make their case look even better.  Nevermind that thousands of troops were wounded and gain comfort knowing they contributed to a grand effort.  No, you have to pound it into everyone that nothing at all was gained in Iraq.  Those people who sustained wounds have had their contributions evaluated to zero, because you've got an axe to grind to help them.  LOL, what a fool...

So let me ask you Mr. Brillaint Braintrust.  Is Iraq's leadership offering rewards for terrorists to carry out terrorism on U. S. soil, or on the soil of Israel?  Is Iraq's military poised on it's southern border with Saudi Arabia?  Is it's military poised on Kuwait's border?  Is it gassing the Kurds?  Is it threatening them?  Is it threatening anyone at all?   Has it implemented a crash program to develop nuclear weapons?  Does it consider itself to be an enemy of the United States?  Does it consider itself to be an ally of the United States today?  Has it in fact considered asking the United States to help it out again, in some limited ways?

Nope, Mr. Intelligence can't see any imporvement in Iraq.

Which you, dotty one, are definitely not.


This is the fifth time I am asking you to explain what your plan would be, if you were president and another 09/11/2001 event were to take place.

You don't like what Bush and some of the rest of us thought was the right thing to do.  Okay great.  Explain what your plan would be.

So far you think I'm the juvenile.  At least I'm being frank about what I support.  Someone else doesn't have enough back-bone to even say what his plan would be.
