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.

Why don't you just shut your pie hole for the duration? I don't care if we woulda coulda shoulda made war on Saddam's Iraq. We are fighting a tough war and you should support it by keeping your mouth shut.

Stop posting your daily dose of trash. Fact is there is a war and you are in the way of it being successfully fought. By banging on this drum, that the war was a mistake, you dump on our troops in Iraq. Just shut up and let the real men take care of business in Iraq. You also are doing Democrat's and John Kerry's dirty work by sowing doubt and discord.

Uh, I didn't call you a name

OK, I'll just this one time answer you - - and then call it a day. Of course you called me a name. You think being likened to Michael Moore isn't name-calling? What if somebody likened you to Hitlery of Daschle or Kerry? That's name-calling in my book.

Interesting how some folks who insist we had to spend young Americans' blood to liberate Iraq don't believe in freedom of speech at home.

Looking at your posts the lats copuple of months, it is not calling you a name, but pointing out the obvious truth.

The guy's a plant. A DNC plant.

The only reason I respond is for the lurkers so they don't fall for his spin.

Call me a "Buckley," or a "Tom Clancy" or a "PJ O'Roarke" --- conservatives who recognize the Iraq invasion was a mistake. To recognize that doesn't make somebody one with the fat socialist slob.

Correct. Recognizing that doesn't do it.

But using the same pathetic antiwar talking points
does make you one with that fat socialist slob.

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.

 And we have interests in the Middle East. Main one being oil. Another main one to try and nullify Islamic terrorism which is on the verge of going world wide. End of story.

You must be one of those silly people who think we can simply buy oil from the Arab Muslims without being politically involved. No other nation acts this way. Not the French, not the Chinese, not the Russians.

They in their infinite hubristic inside the beltway mentality may think it was mistake, but they don't take your and michael moore's stance of twisting facts.

Some DNC plant -- I've never voted anything but Republican in 40 years of voting. I was posting on freerepublic against Clinton back before any of you were saying that people who didn't favor invading Iraq were traitors. (Because NOBODY was saying we needed to invade Iraq). The difference between me and you is, like Buckley, I recognize that 9-11 didn't make the invasion of Iraq a necessity, because Iraq wasn't behind 9-11. Unlike you, I still want us to capture Osama -- that's where our focuse should have stayed. REMEMBER OSAMA? Or do only "traitors" want Al Quaida destroyed and Osama captured?

He's definitely one of those silly antiwar twits who think
there can only be ONE reason for a given military operation.

Have you discussed these fantasies with your doctor?

I see your profile page says you met John Galt and decided he is wise.

Considering how recently you have signed up on FR, I think you do not know the fact about WMD and Iraq and John Galt that other freepers know.

Tread carefully.

Did you miss this one?

one of the reasons we have to fight this war on so many fronts is because we allowed this terrorism to grow and spread to so many parts of the world for far too long.
