Yes...Saddam Hussein became such a threat that we PULLED the majority of our troops looking for bin laden to do a quick "slam dunk" in Iraq. I'm sure Bush, Cheney and Rummy's plan was the "no more than 6 months" strategy to score points on getting a dictator out of power, then refocus on the real terrorist...but a funny thing happened on the way to Baghdad.
Oh...so it would have been OKAY for us to get the Germans out of France, but leave Hitler in charge? The Taliban gave it up...the terrorist who attacked us didn't. But hey....Saddam was a bigger threat anyways.
My remark about hitting the liberals was a bit strong I admit, but I was trying to convey the message that if the left is so hell bent on fighting this war at home instead of abroad, then perhaps the only way to really make them come to their collective senses is if they were on top of the list, and whether you belive this or not thats exactly what they (terrorist) are hoping for, a liberal Democrat US government that will appease them and make their progress for world domination that much easier.
I also find your "seig heil" remark very offensive, you liberals like to equate conservatives to Nazi's because we support the war effort rather than just spewing the liberal mantra " I support the troops, but not the war" garbage. your tag team heros Murtha/Pelosi advocate cutting the necessary funding off to our troops which will only endanger their lives more, but they support the troops?
I don't believe you saw me in those pictures. Here's some nice conservatives. I don't expect to see you in the congregation...and you didn't see me, or many others who don't support this war in your little blogphoto.
local12...this may be hard to believe, but there are millions of liberals (and some conservatives) in this country who don't support the war. They wouldn't dream of doing what is pictured in your blogphoto. Your blogphoto shows a handful of idiots in hoods - yet you seem to believe that THEY represent EVERYBODY who doesn't support the war. I realize that there are millions of conservatives who oppose gay marriage, but using your logic, my link represents ALL conservatives who oppose gay marriage. There are whackos on both sides of the argument. Neither extreme represents the whole. Why do you post things that imply otherwise?
So...I should burn a soldier in effigy because I believe that our leaders were wrong to begin this war in Iraq? I didn't support the war in 2003...I didn't vote for Bush in 2000 because I had a "gut feeling" (your fearless leader has those so they can't be all bad) that he'd somehow have us in Iraq to finish his daddy's work. FWIW, I didn't support the first Gulf War...why should an American soldier risk their life to protect a sheiks gold toilet?
Actually, I have said on this forum many times that now that we're in there...we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. Bush saw a hornet buzzing around his neighbors yard...so to help out, he went over and whacked the hornets nest. Now we've got to deal with the consequences.
