Comments on: National Review’s Kurtz: The Goal in Iraq is ‘Proof of Resolve Against Iran’ Not ‘Peace and Democracy’

This “proof or resolve in Iraq to show Iran we are serious” is a manufactured excuse.

If the “real goal” of Iran was X, then that goal should have been asserted, not say something else.

Just like the NSA illegal activity, this White House is making up non-sense to retroactively “justify” something that is illegal.

Christo-Fascism (Fundamentalism) – unfortunately will continue as long as religion can hide behind the veil of freedom of speech, and tax evasion. Bring those two together under the umbrella of a regulator who forces each to account for their â€œreligiousâ€ doings with the money they want keep from taxation, and then things might start turning around for the world.

Comment by Thomas Paine

Better to leave the Christian churches alone unless you want to end up like the Real Thomas Paine. What’s true is that we should audit all these tax exempt Left Wing Fucktard charitable trusts to get the full picture of how they are sheltering billions and funding organizations that are destroying our country. Then hang the people responsible. It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if you’re one of them. “Christo-Fascism” indeed. The ONLY reason you have the freedom to show your ass like this in public is because of our Christian fundamentalist forefathers…. Dipshit.

This is why testosterone is a dangerous drug and should be outlawed.

Comment by Glenn Becker

Wrong, there should be a test for it and anyone found lacking should not be allowed in the military, in public office or teaching above the sixth grade level. If there is a problem in this country it’s the problem of spineless twerps without the guts to take care of business the old fashioned way.

Yes, we had to show the world that we are big and bad once again, and don’t think that we can’t last as log it might take to wage another war…as long as the money lasts I mean.
Global Corporations are traitorous by their very charter. The Should NEVER be allowed to serve ins ANY capacity to protect or defend something they have NO ALLEGIANCE to. This will truly bring down capitalism to the slimy nether world of greed from which it came.
Conservatism – Possibly Dead, might be in suspended animation
Republicanism – Presently being tortured, but will commit suicide before the Christo-fascist brigade kills it

Otherwise, you will have mindnumbing acceptance of a story, that has been perverted over centuries to continue a ponzie scheme run out of the Vatican, or out of Mecca, or Jerusalem, it is all the same bullshit.

If the public sees that, it might change its view of whatâ€™s important and what success means.
Stanley Kurtz needs to be dropped of in downtown Fallujah, he might change his view on what is important also.

Comment by koalablue

Had it not been for the seething whining Filthy Left who love the headchopping terrorists and their bastard children more than our troops there would BE NO downtown Fallujah. We are in the position we are in not only in Iraq but in the entire middle east because of cowardly women like Jimmy Carter. It makes me sick to think our Marines are dying going house to house in terrorist strongholds like Fallujah when an F-16 or C-130 could do the job required in seconds without one American getting a scratch. The Democrats are responsible for nearly every death of an American Soldier in Iraq because they will not allow the use of irresistible force.

Let us know when you run out, chicken-hawks. We’ve got plenty of lame excuses for you to use.

#434 Saddam is actually an alien, and those lookalikes are actually his clones, and there’s a thousand Saddams that were getting ready to spread all over the world.

#435 The sky-fairy demanded a sacrifice, so he talked to Dubya and requested somebody with a beret and moustache, please.

#436 Saddam actually had plans to help the spread of bird-flu by breeding the worlds largest flocks of long-range super-pigeons.

#437 Saddam invented new coke.

#438 Saddam is responsible for all of the really bad pornography on the internet, with the bad focus and cheesy soundtracks.

#439 Saddam stole Bert from the Sesame Street cast, and Bert is actually the one who turned Saddam evil.

#440 Saddam kept telling people about the time he walked in on Rumsfeld jacking off over the Iraqi Aerobics television show back in the eighties.

#441 Saddam always put the toilet paper on the holder the wrong way around.

# 442 Saddam took the last beer from the fridge and then left most of it on the coffee table to go warm and flat overnight, that sick, twisted son-of-a-bitch.

#443 Saddam got Jenna Bush preggers, and then wouldn’t pay for her ‘visit to another state’.

#444 Saddam called Dubya and told him everything that was going to happen in the next series of 24.

#445 Dubya saw the South Park movie and Babs wasn’t there to tell him it was all make-believe.

#446 Saddam convinced intel to release the 486 SX 6 months before the DX.

#447 Like the French, many Iraqis find Jerry Lewis to be incredibly funny. That shit just won’t stand.

#448 Dick, Donald, Karl and Dubya used a Ouija board, and when Dubya asked ‘Who does Condi like the most?’, the glass moved BY ITSELF and spelt ‘iraq’!

#449 Pure Zen Logic. Dubya silently contemplated the nature of evil while blindfolded and then threw a dart at a desk-globe. He accidentally hit the Iraqi ambassador instead, and after that it was ON.

Sick, sick, sick.
The whole damn bunch of them and their apologists are just twisted.
What a lousy excuse for nearly 3000 dead Americans and 20,000 wounded. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Iraqis who died so they could be an example.

14 The real and only reason for being in Iraq is to control and steal all their OIL!

Yup, the sad part is that not only did we get no oil. We are spending the money we borrow from China to buy oil at $3 a galllon from Iraq’s neighbor, and sell it to Iraqis for 27c a gallon. We took 1M barrels of oil per day off the market when dropping Saddam, which is a big contributing factor to the current high oil prices. The nutjobs will tell you it’s all OPEC’S fault. Beleive me, while OPEC might have a policy to limit quotas, every member nation is pumping beyond their quotas to cash in on the current chinese growth, and US continuing guzzle. But we already KNEW Bush was incompetent andf clueless. I honestly believe he had no intention of causing an oil supply crisis. But I also honestly believe that he is so incompetent to the bone that intentions and outcomes have nothing to do with each other in his universe.

They took one look at Hillary and her squad of Left Wing men haters and decided they werenâ€™t quite ready for that much democracy. Itâ€™s hard to argue with that kind of reasoning.

Yeah, if you are insane. But, we already know you’re insane. And a racist. The two great taste that taste like shit together.

Can you please stop linking to the IBC count as the definitive number of Iraqis who have died from the war? That’s a ridiculous underestimate. The Lancet figure of 98k, which weak-kneed folk like to avoid like the plague, is the best estimate we have. And, in all probability, that’s a rather significant underestimate, as well.

Elaboration, here.

The reason for the Iraq war is a mystery. What did Wolfwitz say, it was convenient, or was it a matter of emphasis. You know whatever worked to take us to war. That kind of thing. It was an iimminent threat, mushroom cloud, or was it Cheney’s Energy Task Force and oil, control of oil reserves as the world demand grows, or a son’s revenge for his father, or Israel, or Democracy, etc., we’ve heard them all. And they continue to say whatever works at the time. One minute Bush is the War President, then he turns around to be the Peace President. Quite frankly, I don’t think he knows what the heck he is and how do do his job.

Is this what they told us we were going there to do?, by By Joan Chittister, OSB

Sister Joans continuing story from a delegation of Iraqi women.

There are now, the women told us, 1.5 million widows in Iraq and the numbers are rising daily as men disappear.

In 1970, the Iraqi government increased its focus on education. This had a significant effect on girls. But the drop in educational opportunities now has been disastrous:

50 percent of women above 15 years old have never been enrolled in school.
64 percent of rural women above 15 have no elementary education.
40 percent of girls in rural areas are not in primary school.
47 percent of women are illiterate.
50 percent of women in urban areas are literate.
…
And thatâ€™s where the whole emerging future of women becomes unclear. The new Constitution, the one crafted after the fall of Saddam and guaranteed to guarantee democracy, does not guarantee it for women.

Wow, Kurtz’s reason for the invasion is even stupider than Bush’s. Seriously, this isn’t the 18th century, the great powers of the world can’t just invade countries in order to look tough to their adversaries. People will not stand for that in today’s world.

When you engage bigots and racists you only stoop. Tracy and the like are just begging for education, but IRI is just a kid. You can tell by the posts. He is just a kid evicted from high school and no parental control. I just skip over them. If I am going to engage the retarded, I will do it from a volunteer standpoint, which ironically, I will be doing these next 3 Saturdays. They have much stronger powers of deduction than IRI anyway.
