Hmmm, maybe the anti-war movement is damaged by people like this. Were Iraq and Ukraine the only wars? His cherry picking leaves him with no credibility. He wasn't against Kosovo, Afghanistan, Obama re-invading Afghanistan, Obama's Yemen war, Obama's drone war, etc.

Cindy Sheehan sure found that out.

He also demands negotiations with a predetermined outcome. No matter what your opinion of the war is that is not how negotiations are done.

The United States and other coalition countries still have their flags planted in Iraq’s soil... So no... It doesn’t matter and they never did matter. The sole purpose of that entire movement was to defeat Bush in 2004 and to ensure that his replacement was a left of center fool in the form of McCain.

"On Feb. 15, 2003, in hundreds of cities across the world, some 10 million people demonstrated against the United States’ impending invasion of Iraq"

It was remarkable how many people seemed to support Saddam's ruthless dictatorship.

Does it? Where is it? I didn’t hear from them when Obama led from behind into Libya. I don’t hear it now that its Biden flushing our money down the toilet in Ukraine....while simultaneously provoking the country with the most nuclear weapons on earth.

Gosh, where did the anti war Left go? They must have gone to the same place the pro free speech Left went....or the distrustful of federal intelligence agencies Left went.

Anti-war movement has been commie leftist since forever.

Part of The Movement, The Revolution.

Always a new permutation on some new manufactured fad cause.

Test Ban Treaty. Nuclear Freeze. etc ad nauseum.

Same as RCP, antifa, blm etc…ad nauseum behind it.

Began being planned and disseminated from Moscow almost 100 years ago now.

Gained de facto control of US government in Obama years.

The George W. Bush administration manipulated post-9/11 fears to gain support for the use of force by falsely claiming that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Just regurgitating the old Leftist talking points. That information was around long before George W. Bush showed up and every major intelligence agency in the world had information stating that he did.

There is also zero doubt he was a state sponsor and harborer of terrorists, something else this author quite conveniently leaves out.

There is nothing to indicate the government of Ukraine was harboring terrorists or attacking Russia, etc. Putin simply wants more territory to restore the glory days of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, as he has made no secret of this desire. Hardly the same MO as the war on terror - whether in hindsight it was a wise decision to go to war with Iraq or not.

Every anti-war protest is organized by a Communist. Normal people against a war just write their Congressman.

Locally, I discovered every single "anti-war" protest was organized by either the CPUSA or REVCOM. The attendees are mostly useful idiots; they couldn't organize their towel cupboard. Communists do all the work with flyers, email lists, recruiting, providing signs, etc. From what I've seen it's the same world-wide.

If all the Communists of the world were somehow raptured to Hell, there would be no anti-war protests.

War?

War is the least of our problems.

We've got schools refusing to teach math and science because they are racist and instead teaching kids that white people are evil because they created America.

We've got a medical profession surgically cutting off the genitalia of children because they (the children) want to play pretend.

We've got gays, lesbians, and trannies effecting hostile takeovers of Protestant religions (not churches, entire denominations), we've got a commie, pro-gay, atheist Pope, we've got a senile pedo-president who was an idiot before he lost his mind, we've got a military which is dropping fitness standards.

And we've got a million other things happening...just too many to mention.

[McCarthysGhost]

The anti-war movement has been exposed for what it truly is, a vehicle for political attack. They have proven over and over again that they are perfectly fine with war as long as the democrat party supports it.

[dragnet2]

Iraq? Bush's 10 year long, "Compassionate war" costing multiple trillions?

We won nothing but death and debt.
