You still reject the notion that mistakes were made in going to war with Iraq.
We reject the notion that it is valid to betray your country for partisan gain through leaking national security documents, helping our enemy in the propaganda war, and sabotaging your own President’s policies.

Thoughtful analysis requires an acceptance of certain facts
We are not going to accept Leftist manufactured facts, because you can’t make us. You have not the guns nor the powers of reason, even though you certainly have the will to get it done.

I never rejected the notion that mistakes were made; wherever did you get that idea? It's a war; of course mistakes are made.

No, Iraq did not attack us on 9/11. Neither did Germany on 12/7.

Yes, there was an active weapons program when we invaded. It was used to shoot at UN sanctioned overflight planes, to fund or reward terror, to kill Iraqis by the thousands. The more important point is that the global intelligence community all THOUGHT there was a weapons program and Hussein BEHAVED as if there was one, kicking out UN inspectors, etc. And the American left BELIEVED he had weapons - remember all the leftist yammering about the tens of thousands of US soldiers that would die from his WMDs if we attacked?

How do we finance any war? How did FDR finance WWI? Truman Korea? Johnson Vietnam? Debt.

Soldiers killed and injured - about equivalent to one week in WWII. A tragedy, but it shows how adept and overpowering our military has become.

Democracy? Of course Iraqis asked for democracy! Don't you remember what happened after Gulf War I? A more important question is, do Iraqis like Democracy? Remember the excitement of the first vote? Recall that they're voting this week? More than 14,000 candidates running for 440 seats on 14 of Iraq's 18 provincial councils. In Baghdad alone, more than 100 parties, with 2,455 candidates, are running. I'd say they're digging democracy big time.

Yes, they've asked us to leave. And under Bush (not Obama) we started the process. Do you follow the other leftidiots and call America an imperialistic power?

It's like reasoning with a brick wall ...

Thoughtful analysis requires an acceptance of certain facts. You still reject the notion that mistakes were made in going to war with Iraq. Please point out where I was wrong in any of those factual statements. Did Iraq attack us on 9/11?Was there an active weapons program when we invaded?How did we finance this war?How many soliders died and how manmy injured?Did Iraqis want a democracy?Have they asked us to leave?I’m stick of bumper stickers too; the ones still on cars on OC with W ’04 and “Drill Baby Drill”
