because DFA implied that if a democrat did it we would all bum rush him. Try'n keep up.

The american taxpayer has footed the bill for the war while Haliburton and other american corporations have profited handsomely. This is simple stuff Scott. Wake up. Give me a break. Cheney doesn't even work for Haliburton.

But your acceptance of the false rationale just throws another equally important baby out with some decidedly dirty bathwater, which is the issue of the President lying to bolster support for the initiation of the war. If any Democrat had stooped to such tactics on any issue (imagine the fallout if it had been a Dem lying to boost school funding), he would have been crucified post haste. It seems black and white, but Bush and Company just changes the story as necessary, and, with a pocketful of plausible other reasons for war, none of which were given when it mattered, sidesteps what should have been a major backlash. Clinton lied about the severity of genocide in Kosovo. 3,000 turned into 100,000 in mass graves overnight but we didn't bat an eyelash.

Read you fucking dolt.

So we invaded Iraq in 2002 to stop the genocide that occurred in 1988? In 2002 Saddam was in a box, had no WMDs, had nothing to do with 911... in short, he was not a threat. We had economic and political sanctions in addition to military and physical confinement. THERE WAS NO THREAT! We went to war for OTHER REASONS which the administration has never clarified. I believe money and pride were probably the reasons. Please tell me how money is the issue. After how many hundreds of billions of dollars you think that money is the issue? Let me tll you what I think the reason is. Iraq is in the heart of the middle east. It is just a stepping stone for GWB to clean house on the terrorist supporting nations. Saying it is for money or cheap oil is profoundly ridiculous.

boy that sounds rather familiar.

Exactly like in Iraq eh? So why are you not trashing World War 2?

If those are the "reasons" then we are a country of hypocrites. Hey ace, your picture is clearly marked 1983. The genocides (at least the main programme) was run between February and September 1988.

Well tell me why it is wrong? Why is genocide not a good reason? It was in Germany, Yugoslavia, Japan, Sudan (oh wait Kofee said genocide is too strong a word there). You tell me that you don't think this is a valid reason for entering a country. Put aside your polarized politics for one minute and try to tell me with a straight face that 1) genocide did not happen. 2) Genocide os not a reasone to invade a country. True the dominant rational given was not a good one, but you cnnot throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Perspective from a student. How refreshing That's right attack me and not my message.

Did anyone say we didn't?

Umm...Do not discount the innocent lives of the Iraqi people. I think there were something like 10,000 deaths (estimates by Pentagon) that were the result of American actions. I am not counting former Iraq Military / current terrorist acts. Estimates of Iraquis killed by Saddam exceeds 1,000,000 people.

Standing up for what you know is right, knowing that democracy is better than a dictatorship or terrorist rule and not giving up on what you know is the right thing to do even if it is not a popular decision. Yes you bet your life it is.

The war is justified 30 different ways. Perhaps the main reason Bush gave for entry was not valid but there are scores of other reasons. Genocide, Humanitarian Tradgedies, not allowing unfettered UN inspections etc. It is impossible to say that this war in unjustified.

Give me a break bitches! You are all paranoid motherfuckers. I will bet each and everyone of you that there will be no draft implemented and that the Patriot Act will save lives without costing freedom. Furthermore I think some perspective is in order. So far is the entirety of the Iraqui conflict, a little more than 1000 soldiers have been killed. In 20 minutes, 3,000 Americans were killed and 10,000 more put in jeopardy. I am more than willing to give Georgie some leeway in kicking some ass for a while. I would rather die than become a nation like france who when a terrorist has your citizen, you pull out. At the end of the next 4 years, you will see the fruits of out labours.

I saw your old post...when is this thing coming out then? Where? Spring 2005. Damn the zippered gear is a cool shot.

Chicks love assholes. Plain and simple. That is why I do so well.

No, they didn't want to vote for a guy who believes whatever will get him re-eleceted; whatever will increase his popularity. These are not ideals that the average American respects.

I probably make more money than you do CBS. and I have fun doing it. Heres to all you cubicle monkeys that hate your jobs!

Fuck that man. I would rather live in Montana, Alaska, Utah or Idaho than Mass-a-fucking-chusetts anyday.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFUCKINHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW BITCHES!

I got bush pegged for 286

at what school?

So much for exit polls.

So... we have the real reason you don't like absentee ballots.
