What do you care? As you admitted upthread, you're no conservative.

You're simply one who welcomes a President
lying to his people as a pretext for a war which is ill-prepared for,
ill-equipped, and poorly executed - with no plan.

And even when all these facts
become undeniable, you press on, insisting more young
Americans die for your Leader's pride and hold on power.

"Full speed ahead!" as your Leader's Leader says.

I suppose all those young guys and women can just
keep on dyin' till you get a plan in place, right?

Yep, you did.

You stand with your Leader when he says the Dems
are collaborators with terrorists.

You know a lot about what terrorists "know".

Just 'allow' them indefinitely rather than question Leader's
delusionary denial
....er... firm resolve.

It does not meet the criteria of any of St Augustine's
three prerequisites for a 'just war'.

Period!

Yow - wee!

Pretty sleazy cheap-shot, to insinuate
that conservatives welcome war
deaths. Are you inspired by the
return of Moran, Shush. Is that
what makes you peddle this moral
tripe?

Now let's see if your political heroes
in the House have the guts to cut
off funds for the war...as they did
with South Viet Nam.

CIA concluded Bin Laden's preelection video
in 2004 was designed to help Bush - by maligning him.

Reason would suggest the 'terrorists' statements as a whole be
read in this context - the statements are designed for the
purpose of shoring up whatever 'credibility' their prime recruiter has
left.

Don't be so stupid!

Your Leader continually said he knew Iraq had WMD
the "Real" Leader Cheney said so as well
Cheney repeated his claim that Iraq and Al Queda were partners.

They had no factual basis for these statements.

They were lies.

They were lies intended to make the American people fear
Iraq was an imminent grave & gathering danger and so
to scare them into war.

You can deny it into infinity.

But that's how it goes in the history books.

Okay, Joe McCarthy!

Look, he said the Dems plan is for America to lose and the
terrorists to win.

He didn't say "some" - as you know, liar.

Why you continue to lie about something that's a matter
of public record is beyond me.

But it's par for the course for Schelptz - stupidity and dishonesty
combined.

No, but the opposition party is weak
on national security and the terrorists
know it.

I do not excuse them.

But I am not a pacifist either, I follow
St Augustine's thesis of the Just War,

And the liberation of Iraq is a Just War.

Period.

If you take the statements of terrorists at face value
you are more stupid than even your blind (and
unAmerican) allegiance to the Decider suggests.

I am a nationalist first, but I sympathize
with conservatives---who tend to
be nationalists, too---and I don't like
see them slurred and slandered.

He didn't lie.

Mistakes were made, but the cause
is just.

To prevent a nuclear 9-11.
Or are you for that?

The soldiers themselves believe they
are fighting in a just cause, regardless
of whether or not things are going
smoothly.

I don't think he ever said that. But the Dems certainly make the
terrorists' job easier because of their wrong views.

OK, (for the sake of argument, I'll ignore the fact that a full reading
of that intelligence estimate shows it to be far more equivocal than
you'd like us to believe, but in any case...) that same intelligence
community was very clear in its analysis that bin Ladin ALWAYS speaks
for strategic purpose, and they concluded that bin Ladin's 2004 tape
was made to benefit Bush and particularly help in his reelection. So,
why is it you believe the one intel estimate (while ignoring all its
caveats) but totally discount the other UNequivocal analysis?

But it is true that the Democrats--with a few exceptions like
Lieberman--are simply clueless on the subject of terror.

I am talking about the recent comments
which I quoted here.

How does gloating about the GOP defeat
after the fact help Bush?

You've set the stupidity bar up pretty high
with that comment!

This was based on intelligence and
other world leaders---like Tony Blair--
agreed.

They did have a basis in an intelligence

The American people should have
been scared of Saddam. He had every
intention of restarting his weapons
program after he had gotten rid of
the UN inspectors and the fly-overs.

It goes in the books that no WMD's
were found, not that Bush lied,.
