So now you're on their side?
The Iraq war was a mistake. Look at ISIS. If Bush wanted that war to succeed, he should have split the country into 4 parts and setup a dictatorship, as that’s the only type of government those people can understand.
No I’m not on their side.
I’m posting a link from Breitbart.
There are sides other that W vs. Code Pink.
Has any GOP official of any standing ever warned us, before, during, or after the war, that Islam was incompatible with democracy? That if you took away a strongman in a Muslim country, you will end up with fundamentalist Islam?
No, we were told Islam was the same as Christianity, and once we gave them elections, that would solve the problems of terrorism.
I, like the rest of us, trusted the word of W and the other Republicans. They knew better, they certainly SHOULD have known better, instead of letting Political Correctness trump reality. Many of us supported W blindly, sadly, and only after doing our own research, years after the war, that W was full of shit about the Religion of Peace.
Remember, W gave us Religion of Peace. He drilled it into us, and we assumed that he and his advisors had put the work in to find the best solution for the US. He did not, and we had to find out the hard way that Islam was not Christianity plus Mohammed, but a blood thirsty imperialist death cult, the closest thing one can imagine to be the Antichrist.
So, either you are on THAT side, or it is not as binary as you would like to pretend.
Be serious.
Sending 4400 irreplaceable heroes to be killed, and 30 000 to be maimed, and borrowing $4 trillion from our mortal enemies to pursue a ridiculous fantasy of a peaceful, democratic and feminist Islam while using "UN resolutions" as a casus belli was not "being on our side", it was a nearly criminal misuse of our people and our resources.
It was, in addition, the best ever example of what National Review and Fox News and the rest mean by "conservatism" - that is, globalism wrapped in an American flag.
It's exactly correct that it's the reason we lost the last two Presidential elections, and Congress in 2006.
Any party or candidate who does not wholly and totally reject the Iraq catastrophe and Bush's failed war leadership is unelectable, now and probably for the next 75 years.
No. It means an individual is beyond the typical binary thought pattern ability of most. In simple terms, there could be more than two choices in life. Try it some time.
