So we should keep dying to keep an openly pro-Iranian government in Baghdad?

Tell me how it helps America for thousands of our people to die so that Maliki can be pals with the mullahs and the Badr and Sadr factions, both in the ruling government can help make Greater Iran with OUR help.

Left or right, I never get an answer to that question. It’s just that insane for Americans to be in Iraq dying to make Iran a safer place and a more powerful and better-loved influence in the Middle East.

Or for any active officer, under oath of allegiance to the Constitution and the People, to abide such treason.

But, hey. The Confederacy had a lot of good officers, too, who believed in what they were doing.

if they would simply surrender to al qaeda and admit they lost the war with al qaeda (defining loss as al qaeda’s survival) then we could negotiate a peace with al qaeda, give them pakistan and afghanistan, and tell them any further terror would get afghanistan and pakistan nuked.

Yes, we of the middle class are in a generational war all right–against the industrial cartels.

The cartels are as big a menace now as trusts were at the dawn of the Twentieth Century. They and the plutocrats who own them are a far greater danger to democracy and prosperity than ten thousand terrorists: these cartelist vampires are battening upon the lifeblood of the republic.

The cartels game the political market to shape policy to grow pie. A cartel is mature when it dominates its policy area to the increasing detriment of the general welfare.

The only credible military threat to the U.S. is its own war cartel.

It has sown fear and war for generations to reap its grotesque and murderous profit.

By initiating the Iraq invasion in the absence of any actual threat, on the basis of calculated and malicious lies, solely to profit the war & oil cartels, the President and his co-conspirators have plotted and committed High Treason against the Republic.

Every murder of our soldiers–every burning, every maiming–is on their heads. The massacres of Iraqis by insurgencies and militias that did not exist prior to the illegal invasion–the people killed with electric drills and dumped in the Tigris, undocumented in the morgues and the Overtonian death counts; mass slaughter, mass exodus: for each of these crimes the President is responsible. To aggravate his war crimes he has authorized torture and secret prisons, suspending habeas corpus and violating the Geneva conventions. He and his co-conspirators must be impeached and tried for their High Crimes and Misdemeanors and their Treason and sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole. Let their names be forever sullied with their infamy.

Right now our foreign policy is run by the Cerberus of war and oil.
We need to starve the beast and put it on a short chain with a muzzle.

For all you “Cut and Runners” out there, What’s your solution to the GWOT?

I won’t hold my breathe, have yet to recieve an answer!!

Step Up wingnuts! Criticism without solutions is just More Hot air from the Demented Left!

Islamic radical terrorism has about as much power to conquer or intimidate the U.S. as Pancho Villa had.

As you recall, while President Woodrow Wilson did send an expedition into Mexico in 1916 with the goal of capturing Villa (with the permission of the Mexican government), he stopped short of invading Colombia in response- or decreeing a state of ‘generational war’ with the entire Spanish-speaking world. Thankfully.

As you also no doubt recall, Pancho Villa managed to evade the U.S. armed forces assigned to capture him.

Despite that, the U.S.A. survived.
