Iraqi children feel pain when being killed. Embryos don't. There was no WMD. There are no good guys in IRaq. Its just two gangs and we just gave a different gang the upper hand. We gave saddam hussien weapons and WMD to help him suppress the same population we are now claiming to liberate. Giving the IRaq people freedom means they have the right to become an Islamic Theocracy and sell all their oil to RUssian and China.. you confused yet? >Yeah, don’t confuse toasthead with any facts that conflict with what he >believes. ;)

Saddam and Al Queda were enemies.

Iraqi children feel pain when being killed. Embryos don’t.

There was no WMD.

There are no good guys in IRaq. Its just two gangs and we just gave a different gang the upper hand.

We gave saddam hussien weapons and WMD to help him suppress the same population we are now claiming to liberate.

Those who doubt it are connected to big oil and car manufacturers who care about profits rather than the truth. Guiliani is no hero of 9-11. He is a politician who is not above using a tragedy to benefit his presidential ambitions.

Are we supposed to believe that Petraeus is ready at a moment's notice to dash out of a meeting and join in a desert firefight? It looks like a PR idea...to confer a combat soldier's credibility on a desk jockey. I suppose it's good that a Navy frogman wasn't in the meeting pictured...or he'd be sitting there wearing flippers, mask, and scuba tanks.
