Thank you for your service. Given what we knew at the time, I believed the war in Iraq was absolutely essential. (And we should have also gone to War with Iran a long time ago. 1979, to be precise.)

At one time I thought Bush was pretty good, but as time passes, I have lost more and more respect for him.

He went eight years and said nothing bad about Obama, but could not wait to begin criticizing Trump.

I took a dislike to "Red State" when I first heard of it because it accepted the liberal propaganda of coloring us "red" and incorporated it into it's name. Then Erick Erickson immediately started mocking anyone who challenged Obama's eligibility for office, and he only became increasingly more arrogant and offensive ever since.

I don't know why the admin wouldn't let you post from it, but I often don't understand some of the decisions made by admin.

As for the term "neocon", I've heard it used as a disparagement many times, but I never really got the rational behind it. I know a lot of people insinuate something with it and I wish they would knock it off, because the actions of the "neocons" in supporting the invasion of Iraq were in my opinion, in the best interests of the United States, and whether they benefited anyone else is immaterial to the main point that they benefited us, the US.

If it helped an ally, then so far as i'm concerned, that was a "win/win!" If taking action against potential threats to our country is "neocon", then i'm a neocon too.

Just my two cents.

Somewhere I have pictures of a mobile Iraqi chemical weapons lab. There was no question Saddam had, and used, "WMD."

We went in after something like 12 UN sanctions, as if that matters now.

Bush was right, and still is right.

If WWII had been a "quagmire" (it was) Churchill still would have been "right."

This revisionist crap is a bunch of manure... Not whether states are "red" or "blue."

Hell doesn't anyone remember when we were PROUD of that red map?
