“Bush had the intellectual honesty to say we did not find “large” stockpiles.”

What did he find, the remnants of the chemical weapons we sent in the 1980s to deal with Iran?

“The real problem with American war fighting is that so many of these authentic conservatives are willing to play along with American media distortions like “Bush lied on WMD” and thereby undermining both the success and meaning of our success in war.”

There was nothing “conservative” about that staged war; do you think George Washington would have initiated it? The real problem with American war fighting is that the next regime might just about it (regardless of the reasons it was launched).

“I can guarantee you that Saddam Hussein will never threaten the world ever again. It was not a fake war and it is disrespectful to our heroes that fought and died there.”

What has replaced Saddam is a horror visited on Iraqi civilians daily. The midnight retreat was disresepctful to those who fought & died there.

“The new Iraqi caliphate Bagdadi told his American captors as he walked out of jail in 2009 that he would see them in New York. The cavalier terror ambition is the direct result of people selling out a great leader: George W. Bush.”

Odd, considering it was 15 Saudis (our “allies”) that took part in 9/11 - and not a single Iraqi.

The United States NEVER sent chemical weapons to Iraq. That is a hard LEFTIST propaganda point with less than zero evidence behind it.

These are weapons that were not destroyed after the first war with Iraq.

How many Iraqis participated in the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993?

The absurd premise that the world is neatly divided into anti-American enclaves that have no connected interaction is ridiculous and the foundational premise of our current dangers. Iraq did attack US jets constantly after the first war with Iraq. Saddam celebrated the attacks on 911 and his agents did help with the first WTC bombing.

I actually don’t think George Washington would have waged the war— and such a question exposes the dangerous ignorance of the Rand Paulians that want to enter a world of denial and false pretense.

I do think that Thomas Jefferson after exasperating every foolish isolationist premise of diplomacy constituted the US Marines to end the Islamic Barbary pirates from attacking US merchant vessels in the Mediterranean. What the US military accomplished then on the “shores of Tripoli” was Regime Change plain and simple. So yes, even colonialists could recognize the foolishness of your premised foreign policy.

They will not leave us alone.

It is dangerous denial to pretend that they will. What the nation needs is not more isolation but a public more willing to support their warriors who do the job their public cannot fathom.

We ought to be grateful that GWB was a courageous enough leader to understand this necessity and not cut and run as the great Reagan did after more than 200 marines were bombed by Islamic terrorists in Lebanon. This nation has no choice but to engage those who every day brag that they will destroy this nation. No amount of denial will ever change that fact.
