How was that post in defense of anything? It’s information that’s relevant to this thread. And yes I’m a fan of the cinema.
I can’t even pronounce this guy’s name. Is that racist?
>> Problem is, “W” did fake the WMD thing.
Strange. I thought Bush warned of the imminent danger of Iraq “acquiring” WMD, not necessarily possessing.
The Iraq thing was so convoluted and then turned into some kind of "Bush doctrine" about turning countries into democratic countries. Reagan had it right - we don't go invading countries to try to make them democratic. But we do try to support freedom fighters within their own country and use intelligence wisely to help them win.
All I needed to know was Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon.
No he talked about going in and finding them, but leading up to the actual invasion, he wasn’t talking much about WMD’s at all. Then when we invaded Iraq, it turned into a justification of turning counties into democracies...
May have been RedState, may have been Instapundit.

Really? This year's Best Picture went to The Hurt Locker, an action-packed, nail biting war film where the heroes were courageous American soldiers and the bad guys were barbaric Muslim jihadis. The film was helmed by this year's winner for Best Director, a woman who had the grace to thank the troops repeatedly during her acceptance speech and various interviews.
This film was also a commercial flop. Nobody went to see it. It earned an embarrasing $12.6 in total box office receipts during 16 weeks in the theater. People here complain that Hollywood churns out nothing but leftist, anti-American drivel yet when Hollywood produces something patriotic, a film Americans can feel good about, a film that celebrates the courage and bravery of our fighting men in uniform, --and awards this film their highest honors, Hollywood was thanked by filmgoers staying home and sitting on their wallets.
Expect more Avatars and less Hurt Lockers in the future. If I were a producer, this would be my business plan.
Iraq was not where the terrorists were - there wasn’t much question about that. The question on many conservatives minds was why is he doing this when Osama bin Laden and his jihadists organization(s) were still loose in Afghanistan. Why didnt we deal full force with KNOWN terrorists in Afghanistan instead of going on this nonsensical venture into Iraq that later tuned into a “doctrine” of invading countries so we can turn them into democracies?
Because it would've made a dandy stepping-off point for going after Iran, if only Rove hadn't been such a P*ssy about defending Bush.
Cheers!
Not so much that specific post, but others, including some on this thread. If you're not defending anything, then I have gotten the wrong impression. No harm, no foul.
And yes Im a fan of the cinema.
Nothing wrong with that, just wondering.
The libs have him on that one.<<<<
BS!

Because it wasn't about revenge. It was about suppressing terrorists and their enablers, especially enablers with WMD.
Because the "real terrorist hot bed" is Iran, and we had even less legal justification, and would have had even less support both at home and abroad, for going there.
As for Afghanistan, what more could we have done without invading Pakistan?
Now he can't send/pay his terrorist goons to target Israeli children anymore.
But they still have Iran.
Thanks for the links. Very useful.
LOL, Bin Laden's dead, and we killed so many of his "second in command" that they can hardly make anymore fake videos. We killed all the terrorists there, except for the ones who fled to waziristan.
I think you give him too much credit. To me he appears an ultimate politician: it's all about victory. And, when victory came, he had no vision --- on any dimension, save privatization of social security --- to utilize that victory. Hit righ-hand man is an epitome of the same: Karl Rove can count votes by county but has absolutely no notion of strategy, let alone mission. Whereas for Dems Big Government is a notion, a vision and mission, for Bush and Rove it was a device for buying votes. Bush's utmost complacency on closing the borders stems from the same root: buying (Hispanic) votes.
From the beginning, it was known as "O.I.F.", Operation Iraqi Freedom, not "Operation Find the WMD."
