The war, along with the people who deliberately lied us into it and are
now profiting from it is crap.

The young men and women who do their duty there
are heroic. Each one killed, wounded, or separated
on multiple extended tours from home and family is a national tragedy.

Screw the war, but honor the troops. It is possible to do both at once.
People who feel that we must despise the troops because they are forced
to serve in a bogus war as well as people who feel that we cannot
respect and value the troops without cheering for the
war itself are all wrong.


Deliberately lied? You're turning into a regular krausite!

You seem to forget:



"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a
threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the
mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass
destruction
and the means of delivering them."

D'oh. The evidence is mounting that Bush had the "intel" evidence
"cooked" to support his positions before he had it passed along to
members of Congress.

In other words, he had the "intel" changed to support his predisposition
to invade Iraq.

There is good coming out of Bush's dirty war. He's a half year into his
term and he's becoming a lame duck. Taht's good for America and good for
the world.


Duh...bull****.


You don't believe Bush is becoming a lame duck?


I don't. According to the most accurate pollster in the last 2 Presidential
elections (Rasmussen), Bush's approval rating is still at 49%. Given the
margin of error of the poll, that means that he continues to have the
support of almost the exact same number of people who voted for him last
November. Nothing has changed. He was a strong political ally to
politicians in elections all over the country in November...and will
continue to be an important ally for those who are up for reelection in
2006.

Most of the legit polls have Bush far lower. I'll be delighted when the
level of support for the job he is doing drops into the high 30's. We're
not talking about his personal popularity here. Lots of people who think
Bush is a screw-up also believe he is an affable guy.

I believe I read last week that Bush is going to go around the country
to try to build up support for his Iraqi disaster. I'm sure he'll get
cheers from his base, but he won't be speaking much before those who are
not his ardent supporters. As long as the Iraqi deaths continue, Bush
will build up no more support for Iraq than he did for his plan to make
corporate America richer on the back of social security.

You'll see the impact of Bush's decline on his broader legislative
proposals and on his ability to expand his idiotic war to other
countries. *This* is where his lameduckdom will come into play; not on
every issue, of course, but on some of those issues where he might have
had a chance of further pooching the country.

Speaking of affable idiots, is Jeb on drugs? Where is he going with that
new Terri Schiavo nonsense? I used to think he was brighter than
Dubya, but no more.

I guess, in your mind, low means legit. Right?

Who were you calling 'stupid' earlier?

Better stick with dick comparisons and high speed boat trips on 'your' boat,
Harry.
