Quote from dddooo:
i. So you agree? They captilized on the problems in Iraq effectively?
If pointing out that we were lied into the war, that it is a distraction from the war on terror, that it was conducted in the most arrogant, ignorant and incompetent manner possible, that the situation in Iraq is a quagmire and that civil war is already underway, if pointing out all that is called "capitilizing on the problems" then yes, they certainly did. I always thought that's what the role of the opposition party (and free media) is though.
Bush is open game.This is Bush's war, there is no doubt about that. But I don't believe anyone was "Lied To". At this point, rehashing this is futile. Hey look, personally I always thought invading Iraq was insane, but I know next to nothing about geopolitics. The opposition party should have opposed it before voting for it. After voting for it, they should have shown absolute resolve, rather than undermining our efforts. That's my only point.
No one paying attention believed this was going to be easy, even after the "Mission Accomplished" photo-op.
So what did you do when Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld and Co kept lying to the country that it would be easy? If it was so obvious to you from the beginning what did you personally do to stop the lies? You know perfectly well that the answer is nothing, vice versa republican,s rightwingers, people like you kept spreading those lies.
I don't remember any of these guys saying it would be "Easy". Again, I don't feel lied to. I believe they, like the rest of the world, believed that Saddam had WMD's and was a dangerous threat to the US. The Risk/Reward wasn't justified in my mind. But hell, it may turn out ok yet.
ii. "Dangerously Incompetent" is a reference to the sign Nancy brought down the House floor and gave a speech while standing next to.
You did not answer my question, do you find this administration competent and if you don't why are you upset that Pelosi's sign says the same thing you do?
She strikes me as a hysterical bitch. I didn't think it was appropriate for her give a speech displaying such a sign. The entire federal government is incompetant, that is why we should want less of it, not more.
"We Support the Troops!", ... yeah, just continue to convince them that their commander in chief is Hitler incarnate, they are participants in an illegal war and their enemies are freedom-fighters.
Strawman.
... I just hope that after this election the far left will shut the hell up
iii. agreed. But a guy like Kerry is despicable.
As I said, half of the dems voted against the resolution, all republicans voted for it.
It's Bush's war alright. We agree on that.
