That’s funny. I didn’t say anything about half of the stuff you attributed to me. But I guess that’s tolerance for ya. I don’t agree with everything Bush or any Republicans do. I meant EXACTLY what I wrote: reality being that we are in Iraq, we should stick it out and win the damned peace!
I guess the Killing Fields was just so much capitalist propaganda, and that trying to keep up in the arms race with the US (while liberals moaned constantly about MAD) had nothing to do with the fall of the USSR.
If you really think about it, you’ll see that there are points on both sides that bear a listen. To illustrate, I will say that the existence of satellite TV and the world media’s exposure had a big impact on the social unrest that caused the fall of the USSR. It certainly wasn’t all Reagan’s doing.
Well, I’ll say this about the Downing Street Memo: If Bush and co. were so evil and traitorous as to have doctored the facts around their aim to topple Sadaam, then why didn’t they also "find" WMDs there when they got there?
What did Bush know and when did he know it?
The answer, quite frankly and as it relates to good and reliable intell surrounding Iraq’s WMD, is "not much". If he knew there were no WMDs, he never would have gone to war on that basis.
You lefties can’t have it both ways. Rove/Bush/Cheney are either evil geniuses or bumbling idiots, but it has to be consistent, ya know. The truth lies in the middle. They are human. They believed, as did the entire world intelligence community, that Sadaam had and intended to use WMD. They acted, ACTED, on that assumtion. They were apparently wrong. Hopefully the action turns out right in the end. I hope for the best and support the effort to make it so, rather than concoting every little idiosyncratic or insignificant reason to holler "liar!" at the administration and pout.
