[Mr. Silverback]

You're not dealing with higher level thinkers here, ya know.

Well then, let us have some of that juicy wisdom of yours. Finish one or more of the following sentences and show us the boffo supra-genius reasoning that lead you to it:

1. Even though Iraq harbored, trained and funded terroists, it was not a legitimate target because...

2. We should not be fighting the war on terror at all because...

3. Fewer than 500 total casualties in a war that started with the slaughter of 3,000 noncombatants on our home soil is a huge problem because...

4. If we leave terrorist states up and running, I foresse the next major terroist attack will be prevented by...

5. The military record and/or golf schedule of major adminstration officials has bearing on the prosecution of this war because...

Ping!

So you base all your questions on the misleading and questionable premise the administration propagandists and Washington carnival barkers put out as reasons to justify being in that swamp and getting our sons and daughters killed and expect answers? Kinda like the pod people who say Saddam was an evil-doer and a threat to us so what's not to like about an invasion? Heard one of the funniest lines of this whole sick mess yesterday though which even brought a smile to my face -- "Now that we're stuck up to our necks in the mud hole, lost our compass and it's the dead of night, we are not going to retreat."
