Nope.

****But accurate…..

’til later……

But you must remember, we looked the other way when it came to Saddam’s murders. The United States helped Saddam even while he was killing and torturing thousands of his own citizens.

After encouraging an uprising, Bush the First stepped back when Saddam gassed the Kurds and Shi’ites.

Those mass graves are blood on our hands, too. Their blood was part of the price we paid for Iraqui oil.

Since yesterday, I have thought of another individual who is quoted far more often by “american pacifists, defeatists and Communists.” I wonder if you’ve heard of him. Seriously, most of your posts make me wonder. I am speaking of Jesus Christ.

While I’ve got your attention: would you tell me WWJBN? Who Would Jesus Bomb Next?

It’s really that serious, Rumsfeld is really that dangerous.

Let’s have the debate.
What did Rumsfeld do right?

What did he do wrong?
The Rumsfeld Doctrine.

Rumsfeld entered the Iraq War without stating what any benchmarks for success might be. We still don’t have a clear exit strategy except that we will be there until the puppet government we installed tells us to leave.We have never had honest appraisal of our intentions, goals or exit strategy.

Rumsfeld wanted only 60,000 troops in the Iraq invasion. General Franks wanted seven times that. We got a hundred and forty thousand, still not nearly enough. Thus he failed to prepare for occupation. Which has proven to be the most important blunder of his tenure as Defense Secretary. Because of his need to go into war with “the military we have” there were not enough troops to prevent top regime members from fleeing the country with Iraqi funds nor could our troops block foreign insurgents from infiltrating. Because of our need to topple a statue in baghdad vast stretches of the Sunni Triangle were bypassed. The force was too small to effectively project power throughout the country, allowing Militias to rise to power. (Moqtada al Sadr, The Badr Brigades, possibly even renegade elements of the Interior ministry)

I could go on but i’d like to give you some time to finish your milk and cookies.

Yes, we have. Bet you haven’t been to this one:

Right. And you are an attorney. Sorry, but your analytical skills are somewhat less than that of a first-year law student.

I-R-I has served his country honorably by helping design weapon systems which afford us protection and military superiority.

Then why does he write with all the acumen of a high school junior?

#48 – Not worthy of a lengthy response…. but if your dad or grandpa served in WWII ask them is they went to the newspapers of the day to look at the pictures of dead Japanese, Germans, etc. and wonder about their mothers and children. Of course I was discussing gasoline purchases and you veered off on a completely unrelated topic with NO coorelation[sic]. Not a very logical argument…..

I addressed your gasoline argument and posed some questions of my own, which you deemed “not worthy of a lengthy response”…

You seem to be quite derisive of those who advocate for peace. I wonder, at what point will you have your fill of war and death? Will you volunteer to go to Iraq and search for IED’s? Will you join a mercenary death squad and participate in the killings? Have you gone to the websites that post pictures of the killed and maimed women and children of Iraq and Afghanistan? Can you put yourself in the place of their mothers or sisters?

Or is your compassion limited only to people of certain ethnicities and certain geographic locations and certain faiths and certain socio-economic status?

To say those questions are “not worthy of a lengthy response” is rather pathetic.

#88 good job on carrying on the fine republican tradition of slandering veterans who are better men than themselves. Of course it is very easy to do from the safety and comfort of your little den while getting the benefit of an extra hundred years of history that men like Butler worked to give you.

Actually the Military has long been republican.
Even now 53% of US military personal support President Bush (Down from 64%)
Maybe next year or so when support dips below 50% we can start claiming the military as otherwise.
