Enboldened by the cut and run folks

[Safe-Keeper]

They've been saying that for years. Watch "obsession" sometime.

Or how about a movie that's actually made to enlighten and educate, rather than as a propaganda tool? "Muslims are evil and the whole world's at risk" is naught but a reprisal of the witch hunts, McCarthyism of the Cold War, paranoia about the "Jewish threat", and I could go on and on. Pick an enemy, real or imagined, and paint a pic' of it as an evil threat to the whole world that fights simply for being fanatical and/or evil.

I'm sorry your childhood was such agony. Perhaps children whoose agony was greater than yours might like the help that the US provides.

I.e. the invasion of Iraq, which toppled a stable (albeit evil) government and replace it with a regime totally unable to keep the peace, giving militants the freedom to start a civil war?

I'd be crying from joy.

On that ISSUE, what is the Dem's solution? I've yet to hear any of them speak of a plan. Winning the election on "It's time for a change" hardly delt with any of the issues faceing America nor did it present any form of a platform to the people.

Except they are.

How about surrenduring to Al Qaeda? Sound good to you?

The USA surrendered to Al-Q'aida the moment they abandoned the War on Terror for the invasion of Iraq, purely for economic reasons.

Surrender to Al-Q'aida? You're hardly even fighting them in the first place. If you haven't noticed, the extremists in Iraq have little to do with the extremists who blew up the WTC. Geez.

Do you really think electing the Democrats are going to make this situation better or us any safer?

Anything short of a pull-out from Iraq is better than the McCarthyist doctrine of the GOP.

Do you really think if we leave Iraq, things will get better or stabilize?

No. The only way to stabilize the country is to invent a time machine and go back in time.

When inspectors showed up at a facility after 1996, and I led the bulk of these inspections that ran into the confrontations, a lot of people would assume that, when the Iraqis obstructed the work of the inspectors, it's because they were hiding Weapons of Mass Destruction. Not so. 98% of the inspections run by the weapons inspection team from 1996 through 1998 got the full cooperation of the Iraqi government. A very small percentage, primarily the ones I led, were obstructed. Why? Because we were going to sites that were affiliated with Presidential security, Presidential palaces, and intelligence services. The Iraqis obstructed us not because they were hiding weapons. I'm here to tell you, as the person who planned these inspections; we never thought weapons were there. We were looking for the potential of documentation that might help us clear up outstanding questions as to what the final disposition of material was.

But no, no matter how illegal and unjust the blasted conflict was, pulling out of Iraq now will solve nothing.
