Actually, as the public opinion shifted from roughly 50/50 to a mayority supporting the war, what took balls was to stay anti-war in Iraq. It's easy to jump on or stay on the band wagon with the mayority.
Iraq is in caos, err oops, I mean freedom, no WMD have been found, Saddam has not be found nor confirmed dead, lots of people are dead, wounded and maimed. What exactly were they right about?
I haven`t weighed in on this topic much here..But saying this shouldn`t have happened is mind boggling...Just from the standpoint of freeing the Iraqi prisoners ( people ) of living there lives in fear would be more than enough..NOT TO MENTION EVERYTHING THAT WILL UNFOLD AND HAS ALREADY UNFOLDED SINCE WE `VE BEGUN TO DIG AROUND..
SADDAM IS DEAD ...AS ARE HIS SONS and right now they are jamming with AC/DC
Mind boggling is that you don't see that it's not our place to dictate who runs other nations. Also mind boggling that you fail to see that there were alterior motives.
Saddam is dead? Proof please. A video supposedly displaying Saddam still alive was shown on CNN just a few days ago.
You are right on one thing though Journeyman, what will unfold is yet to be seen. As the Gen. pointed out.
"The long term ramifications have just began."
Kaya..one question..If you`re walking down the street and you see a woman getting brutally attacked by a greasy old bastard, and the woman has no way to defend herself..... are you going to turn the other cheek or are you going to help her?
just answer that ...or say you hear a child getting tortured in his house...these as you know are all everyday occurences there... MADMAN CONTROLS COUNTRY, DOESN`T MAKE IT RIGHT...
Kaya,
Supporting and going to war is much more difficult than doing nothing like clintoon for 8 long years. The US could have gotten bogged down remember.
The guy with Balls is Gw Bush and Tony Blair who risked everything politically to pursue this endeavor.Right or wrong you libs have to admire their courage. there is not one person on the left living that would gone against these odds.
The funny thing about it the only people that is stuck in a quagmire is the left.
Think about this: Nominating two handles who post on a message board as being valiant...
Unless the conversation is face to face and all conversation here is SINCERE-- this really the courage of their convictions-- no one here has balls- a bunch of cyber-cowards sniping each other with words until the next game goes off...
