What's sad, but obviously true, is that certain factions always insist
on turning national calamities into opportunities for political
mudslinging.

Have you no shame or decency at all?


Chuck, the left, you included, have taken the War on Terror into
opportunities for political mudslinging for months now.

Where is your shame and decency?


Well at least you do not disagree that using Pearl Harbor as a vehicle
to attack the Democratic party is shameless and indecent, and the best
defense you can mount for your philosohpical ally is "you or somebody
else did worse, first, or whatnot." Frankly, that's a more reasonable
response than I thought I might see.


You make it way too easy Chuck. ;-)

Well at least you do not disagree that using the War on Terror as a vehicle
to attack the Republican party is shameless and indecent, and the best
defense you can mount for your philosophical ally is "you or somebody

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, thanks.

I'm pretty confused abaout your reference to a "war on terror". Surely
you couldn't possibly mean the invasion of Iraq? If that's a war on
terror, we're losing big time- there are a lot more terrorists in Iraq
now than when Saddam was running the show- (he was a lot more effective
at catching them than we seem to be, and he was enough of a ******* to
keep them in check. Our problem? We can't be as big a ******* as Saddam
used to be
in order to keep some remote resemblance of order there and still
promote our "noble motives" or claim to be helping the Iraqi people).
We are hoping for a victory where somebody shows up, surrenders, and
signs a peace treaty. How quaint. There is no "somebody" in charge over
there who can call off all the religious fanatics from the various
sides. If you are waiting for terrorism to stop in order to declare a
"victory", good luck with that. We're inciting more terrorism than
we're stopping.

You won't find many liberals shedding tears for guys like that
high-ranking Al Qaida member who was taken out by a CIA drone last
week. That's what the "war on terror" is about, IMO.
