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.
Legitimate vs. Accurate? I'll take accurate everytime!
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.
There were 23,000 men that died an Antitem in one day 143 years ago.
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.
