[C. Edmund Wright]

I don’t agree…….both “moose limbs” and Democrat liberals need to be called out, identified, and fought against without pulling any punches. Bush tried to mollify both, and failed at both.

You and I rarely disagree, but ‘fraid we do on this.

FREGARDS…CEW

We do disagree here, but not entirely. I believe they do need to be called out as well, but leaving the sleepy ones asleep was important at that point. If 10 per cent were radical jihadis at that point, we didn't need the other 90% to join up and add almost another billion suicide bombers to the fight.

I rarely defend W, but think he was right strategically on this one.

Back later, but let me be clear: this religion sucks, it needs to be taken out. The current CIC and his destructive policies of total appeasement are the problem now. W killed 90% of their entire leadership, had them on the run, the bamster revived them, gave them money, and brought them back from the brink.

The difference is W was destroying them while calling them peaceful. The bamster gives them money, tries to further their cause, and winks while they get stronger.
