You're here to say, mostly, that the war in Iraq should be opposed by conservatives "because it's debt-financed".

How on Earth do you draw this conclusion?

It's but one reason American conservatives do not support it. Conservative Christians can't support aggressive, elective wars and that is certainly a better reason for opposition than Earthly money. Conservative Westerners do not believe violations of UN resolutions is cause interventions in sovereign nations, in the spirit of the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia.

Your failure in logic is tying any national security consequences to your debt financing to support the nation building project in Iraq, that is all I can figure.

The welfare at home, the Amnesty for 9 million actual invaders, and the increased centralization of the national security apparatus even after its most spectacular failure are all anti-conservative developments tied with the current Wilsonian liberal war.

Militant Book Describes Meeting Bin Laden

During an extended visit after he fled to Norway, Krekar founded Ansar al-Islam in northern Iraq in December 2001 to foment revolution against Saddam. Now the group is suspected of links to al-Qaida and in suicide bombings targeting U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq.

Hmmm, 12/2001 and Ansar al-Islam sets up shop in the US controlled No Fly Zone to organize a force to take down Saddam? Something is rotten in Denmark.

["debt financing"] It's but one reason American conservatives do not support it.

Yes, we've established that, it's "but one" reason. In other words, it's one of the reasons in your mind not to support the war against Iraq.

Again, it logically follows that the same would be true of the American Revolution. That it was "debt financed" is one of the reasons not to support it. Right?

Conservative Christians can't support aggressive, elective wars

Evidently, they can.

Conservative Westerners do not believe violations of UN resolutions is cause interventions in sovereign nations, in the spirit of the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia.

Evidently, some of them do.

I granted you debt financing = bad. How many times do you want me to say it.

The welfare at home, the Amnesty for 9 million actual invaders, and the increased centralization of the national security apparatus even after its most spectacular failure are all anti-conservative developments

Even if true, not relevant to what's under discussion.

That would explain the protection money....

You are a man spinning more from less. Iraq supported terrorism, used WMD, had terr training camps and terrs within it -- those are facts in the record. In your capable hands however no fact is perfect enough.

I do agree with you though. We must conquer Saudi Arabia.
