I stopped reading right after the "Darth Cheney..." line.
Did I miss anything?

Cheney dodged military service just like his buddies Dennis Hastert, Dick Armey, Tom Delay (he claimed that minorities had taken up all of the slots so there was no more room for him, so he stayed home and fought the war on bugs) Trent Lott, John Ashcroft, Newt Gingrich, Elliott Abrahms, Pat Buchanan, Phil Gramm, Jack Kemp, Dan Quayle, Rush Limbaugh (analcysts) Bill Bennett, Frank Gaffney and Kenneth Starr.
Did Mondale or Carter serve?

The 'thousands' of Iraqi civilians acted in that manner by allowing Saddam to come to and remain in power. They had the means to end the potential threat and chose not to.seansean said:junyo wrote:

Please cite the evidence you have that the thousands of iraqi civilians we(yeah, I said we, we paid for those bombs and bullets) killed acted in this manner....Iraq was never a threat to the U.S., regardless of all their posturing, and the smart intelligence people who knew that, and said so, were shouted down or removed...BTW, there's another middle eastern country that has WMD's(nuclear weapons) and they've violated many more U.N. resolutions than iraq....you guessed it, israel...they get 3 billion of our taxpayer dollars every year....what kind of return are we getting on THAT investment???
edit: 237 misleading statements on the war...

+1The L&P section of THR is infiltrated with a bunch of lying propagandists.
R.H. Lee said:Cheney's telling it like it is. Those same Democrats are on record making public statements that Saddam had nuclear, chemical and biological WMD and supporting military intervention and regime change. They, and their supporters, are most assuredly lying and dishonest hypocrites of the worst order. Anybody who buys into this particular criticism of the Bush administration is ignorant, completely untrustworthy and deserving of utter contempt.
I'm glad you said thisIt really doesn't matter if the intel was faulty, as long as it wasn't deliberately sloppy or manipulated for political ends. If we genuinely believe that someone is a threat we should take whatever steps are needed to remove that threat, period. All the talk now about whether the intel was good, bad, or otherwise is a nonissue.
No, I would not, and furthermore I did not (even though I would have liked too ).Every single person here would, if they genuinely believed someone was a threat to themselves or their family, if that person consistently behaved as if the were a threat, if they wouldn't respond to requests to simply prove that they were not a threat, put a bullet in them with little to no hesitation. If it later turned out they were mistaken, you'd feel bad about it, you'd try and not make the same mistake again, but you wouldn't fault the action or the tactic. And in the same circumstance you'd likely do the same.

The American people are incapable of enduring any sort of pain any more, political, economic, anything.
I pointed out about a year or year and a half ago that you could hear in the distance the sound of the stampeding sheep.
The stampede has now over-run us.
