Oh that's correct, saddam's Iraq was just a peaceful benign entity harming nobody, per chamberlainbuff, michael moore, and the demos.
You all should really should stop smoking whatever it is your smoking, that whacks you out of reality like that, IMO.
Yes, but I did not say that. It is one of the favorite strawmen of the handwringing class, though, so I understand your use of it.
You twist my words. I was replying to your suggestion that we invaded Iraq to "avenge" 9-11. Iraq wasn't behind 9-11. Nobody says they were -- and the fact that Saddam was a dictator and a bad guy doesn't change that. So the invasion didn't "avenge" 9-11.
It's disgusting and traitorous. It's stupid. It's self indulgent. What can't the naysayers just just the heck up and let other Americans get on with this tough job?
This war cannot be undone. Sure it's harder than I thought and than GWBush thought. So what? What happened to American pride where you tough it out and keep punching away? This is just so much trashy looser-ism.
Every Islamic enemy loves to hear Americans saying the war was a mistake. They love such weakness of character.
Sorry, but the idea that our troops should be deployed only in defense of our own interests is not a strawman, it is a basic, historic tenet of American conservatism.
Over 10 Congressmen have kids in Iraq or Afghanistan and Ashcroft too has a son in Iraq. You have consistently ignored that little tidbit until you were hit over the head with it repeatedly and then you dropped it.
I assume you mean "shut the heck up". That's also what Saddam insisted on in his country - - people who disagreed had to "shut the heck up."
Please name them. I want to know.
Well you should know as you are the expert in twisting real world words and facts to justify your whacked out world view ala michael moore.
And EVERY SINGLE intelligence agency on the planet said he had them. We know he had them. He used them. He could have let the UN have unfettered access. He didn't. He continuously blocked them.
As well, you are forgetting Powell's audio tapes we go from Iraq from human intel. Iraqi's saying things like "erase the words nerve agent" from all paperwork. "Block the UN until the building is clear", etc.
Your continuous mention of ONE person, Kay, means nothing. The mention of the UN WMD inspector who says he is finding Iraqi WMD all across the globe evidentally means nothing to you either. YOu cherry pick what information you wish to believe.
And I see you still can't quote anyone in the administration who said it would be a cakewalk. Neither can anyone in the leftist media but that hasn't stopped them either.
And I see you still can't deny that we were greeted as liberators and with flowers and hugs by many Iraqis, but you keep pretending otherwise.
You're a plant.
No misunderstanding here, I don't think.
I figured you were not opposed to the Iraq War. :^D
I figured you would resort to name-calling instead of trying to respond to my point. I've got your number. Arguing with a play-ground sand-kicker isn't my idea of stimulating, so I'll sign off from our "discussion". Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
BS!!!!
You were given their names last month!!! I was on those threads, which I didn't save. You are a DNC plant. A troublemaker. A whiner.
Being called a "whiner" by somebody who posts profanity (even if only with initials "B-") is being called black by the pot!
Yeah, well, when I watch what my friend is going thru now, I personally want to take some military action against those saying we should not have gone in. He can accept the left saying this; he knows what they are about. But for people on the right, the people he associates with, to question what he did, rips his heart out.
And not only do I think we did the absolute right thing (can you imagine the handwringing if Saddam had attacked us, and we hadn't "pre-empted" it, considering all of the whining about 9/11), I think we should have done this a decade ago.
Uh, I didn't call you a name, I gave my opinion of your stance and my opinion is that you have the same whacked out world view as michael moore(i.e saddam's Iraq was a benign entity).
Bump
You are pretending you don't remember those threads where you were given names of Congressmen with kids in the active military and specifically the Middle East.
You are a liar and BS today is hardly considered profanity but I know to your tender sensibilities it may be harsh.
