Adiemus,
You're kidding me, right?
Do you honestly research these topics or just click FoxNews and regurgitate whatever they say is the truth. (Notice the lack of a question mark there)
Here's a little history for you....Feb 2001, Colin Powell interview, (paraphrased, in my own style, of course) Saddam is a pissant midget who can't even control the people in his own borders much less attack another country...he talks tough because that's ALL he can do....talk.
June (maybe July) 2001, CondoSleeza (sorry, but that little wench irritates the living shiite outta me) says UN sanctions are working, he has been forced to dismantle and has NO abilities or materiel necessary to attack anyone more formidable than the corner grocer....we must keep an eye on him just in case he tries to add to the general instability in the region, THAT'S IT.
Post-9/11, scant MONTHS later, and Saddam has 'nukular' weapons, biological weapons, we know how much, we know where....we MUST go in before the mushroom clouds start appearing over our fair cities.
Are you fookin' kiddin' me?
And if you want to quote me every dem that jumped on the bandwagon and chanted WAR, WAR, WAR right along with the pubs at this time, you go right ahead. They were wrong too. They were wrong because they relied on the 'president's' intel....supposedly the best intel there is. They were lied to, and they were wrong to believe it. We were lied to, and we were wrong to believe it.
Clinton lies about a ******* and it's all some of you idiots will ever remember him for.....Georgie lies so big it's honestly mind-boggling. But once you realize he HAS lied, you MUST hold him accountable. He's not a straight shooter, you know this in your heart, but you cling to that concept....because the alternative is that the man in the most powerful job on this friggin' planet just looked you in the eye and lied....with malice aforethought. You sound old enough to remember the Gulf of Tonkin....McNamara himself has (finally) fessed up. So what's the story? McNamara's a left wing stooge now? Or did you just think it couldn't happen twice in your lifetime?
I'll happily read a Tom Clancy novel...if you'll just do one little thing in return. Borrow somebody's copy of Fahrenheit 9-11...no, I wouldn't THINK of asking you to watch the whole thing...heck, you can even turn the sound down (preferable, actually, MM has swallowed his own hype...egotistical idiot)...then have someone fast forward to the part where it shows our great president 20 seconds....SECONDS....before he goes on the air to tell the country that he's putting us into war with Iraq. Watch him make faces....giggle....SECONDS before putting into words 'that most difficult decision no president ever wants to make.' That's who you're espousing. Who you're lauding.
If you can still believe his lie, ask yourself one final question...if he seriously thought Saddam had ANY weapons of MASS destruction, why were our troops MASSed to invade Iraq? If you had even the tiniest inkling that your enemy was going to lob a WMD at your guys, would you put your guys ALL TOGETHER IN ONE SPOT so a WMD would have maximum effect? No, you wouldn't....but if you KNEW the WMD line was a lie....well, it sure would be easier to have your guys attack en masse than to have to try to coordinate 17 different attack groups from 17 different directions....wouldn't it?
BAH....this is foolishness....you're either an idiot savant, or you already know all this and just refuse to admit it, extending that refusal maybe even to yourself. Whatever. When the rebel army forms to take back our country...the America I know and love...I will join, and I will gladly give my life for the country that has given me everything. I hope you've opened your eyes by then and we'll be fighting side by side.
To any of you idiots out there that still, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, believe this is a just war in Iraq, sign up. Put your money where your mouth is. Don't tell me you're too old, infirm, whatever...if you can't pass the physical, you can volunteer and do grunt work over there. Food needs cooking, laundry needs cleaning, and garbage cans need scrubbing...you won't make any money, but they'll feed and house you. All you have to do is get there, and there are rabidly partisan websites that would be happy to pay your fare if you can't afford it yourself. Make sure your sons and daughters sign up before you leave though, k?
