I say what I do because you are under the impression that civilians know more about war tactics that a sitting president.

This President is clearly an ignoramus when it comes to tactics and strategy; he's repeatedly gotten it dead wrong, which is why we are where we are now. But it was not tactics I refer to, but policy. Military personnel would have been spared much needless and counterproductive sacrifice had we never invaded Iraq, and once we invaded, had withdrawn as quickly as practicable. You can't deny this, so you don't bother. This shows you know you are incorrect.

You have also made it clear that a surrender is the way to honor out military.

Surrender? To whom, the Iraqis? We have no business trying to run their country. Those who fell are not honored by throwing away more lives; it is not for them that they die, but for your pride and George W Bush's.

Not only are you ignoring the facts of how we got to the in Iraq and the purpose of establishing a Western presense in the Middle East...

I am quite well aware that our intervention was born of lies. The West had a large presence in the Middle East for a long time. It did not need this invasion, that's for sure.

...but you clearly are avoiding the real issue of why 'Democrats want the US out of Iraq.

Politics. Big Oil. Cowardice in the face of taking a stand against evil...


Big Oil is Bush and Cheney. They started this dopey thing largely for political reasons, and it worked for them until their lies and incompetence were exposed. Taking a stand against evil was one of the reasons why I was out on the Mall.

Or to you proclaim the USA got what we deserved in the 30 years that lead up to and slaughter of thousands of civilians on 9/11.

That made no sense at all. Our invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11/01. Did you have a point?

There seems to be no end to your blind insistance that Islamofascism/jihad is a hoax.

There was no beginning to it either. I was aware probably long before you were of the blind unreasoning hatred in the nether regions of fundamentalist Islam. One dreadful result of the invasion of Iraq was to give new life to it and its exponents like al-Qaeda. But you can't see that, can you?

My goodness, you are even cheerleading for al-Jazera with your organized protest.

What a mixed-up dude you are. Al-Jazeera is a news organization. What did you mean by that statement, or was it just one more proof of your cluelessness?
