They champion “conscientious objectors” who show up on the news stating their refusal to get on the ship when deployed because (in their individual opinion) it’s an “immoral war.” These cowards (who have of course, already received compensation and education for their “service”) are properly court martialed and the Left condemns the prosecution as an outrage. In their view, if you don’t want to go to war, then you shouldn’t have to. Conversely, per Houndentenor and KYKid (…ew), no one is entitled to support the war unless they enlist and head to Iraq to engage in combat.

Only the idiot Left could formulate such a perfect system for ensuring that our military is neither ready nor capable of protecting this country against our enemies. If you hate the war, stay home (even if you are an active-duty soldier). If you support the war, keep your mouth shut unless you are jumping out of chopper into a war zone as a soldier. Of course, this means that the SUPPORTERS of our freedoms would be the only ones actually fighting and dying to preserve them, while those who simply USE our freedoms and take them for granted would stay home to criticize, protest and condemn the war.

The Left wants a military where it’s not only voluntary to join, but also completely left to the discretion of the individual regarding whether they’ll bother to do the work assigned to them at all. In other words, they basically want it to be run like just about every other government agency in existence.

So what’s the difference between then and now? Are you willing to wait as long as the British?

That only works if they want us there in the first place — but the leftist Democrats insist they don’t.

The people who want us out of Iraq the most are three groups — al-Qaeda, Iran, and the Sadrists — that also are, not coincidentally, the ones doing their best to create problems for our troops and to topple the government.

Therefore, they don’t need to negotiate — especially since idiot Richardson and his lackeys like Ian have already stated that they will immediately and unilaterally pull out, regardless of conditions. They are getting exactly what they want without having to lift a finger or give a single point; their leftist allies Ian and Richardson will pull US troops out for them without them having to concede anything.

Yeah, all those Iranian hijackers involved with the 9-11 attacks

Who ever suggested any of the hijackers were Iranian???

How could you possibly have come up with a more asinine comment?

Americans & Iraqis participating in a Baghdad death march. As for the rest of your questions, Ian lacks the testicular fortitude to answer any direct questions.

I take it back. You’re sinking into a deeper swamp of insanity.

First, you talk to yourself on a blog. Very pathetic.

Next, just recently, you yourself were making demands that we follow FDR’s economy wrecking steps for all out war.

It’s not conservatives who pushed to help destroy the economy with an increase in minimum wage.

It’s not conservatives who keep trying to violate the constitution by grabbing for the power of CIC from the president.

It’s not conservatives who are pushing to destroy the economy with the largest tax increases on THE MIDDLE CLASS in history.

Nor is it conservatives demanding Socialist medicine.

Oh, and it wasn’t conservatives who bitched and whined because they don’t get to see the dead on TV (but you can’t see the bodies from 9/11 on TV).

It wasn’t conservatives who bitched because they couldn’t see the hurricane Katrina dead on TV (but you can’t see the bodies from 9/11 on TV).

And, of course, it’s wasn’t conservatives who gleefully showed snipers shooting our soldiers. You know, those “terrorists” who’ve been compared to Nazis, Pol Pot and operators of Soviet gulags.

So, in short, you may drop down, fifth ring, cook.

For the sake of honoring your “dissent” let us agree to abandon Iraq in every way by Tuesday at 10 am. Bush and Cheney will resign and Pelosi will be President. The Republicans in Congress agree to vote for whatever she wants until a President in sworn in on January 20, 2009.

The ball is in your court, Ian S. Give us the formula. What does your team want? Tell us what you stand for. Tell us what your core beliefs are. Tell us how you will move us all ahead. Tell us where we are going with your team leading. Tell us.

They remain as confused and agitated as their sainted Lil’ George, and hope a war with Iran will somehow take the sting out of a historic stupidity that they lustily supported.

Very insightful as usual, KYKid. Their war with Iran will be a desperate attempt to double-down on their disastrous Iraq bet. This time, their assumption that the country will rally behind them is flawed. Instead, the already sharp divisions in evidence will be heightened further and they may be forced to institute martial law and suspend the Constitution. That combined with Iran’s potential “closing” of the Straits of Hormuz and subsequent oil spike will doom our debt-hobbled economy. None of that will bother many of the denizens of this blog and others like it. They will revel as they always do in widespread death and destruction. Neither will they care nor lift a finger to object to the loss of our freedoms – they are authoritarians and despise freedom and dissent. To them dissent equals treason. Just read their screeds here: literally dripping with hatred towards anyone not willing to worship their Dear Leader.

Saudi Arabia attacked us on 9/11, but we didn’t want to upset our oil barons and Haliburton and Bush and Cheney, so we dithered around and attacked Iraq, because we had to attack somebody! It turns out that radical Islam is not a problem, after all. It is Saudi Arabia that bombed the night club in Bali. It is Saudi Arabia that is stirring up all the stuff in London, Oslo, Stockhom, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Bonn, Madrid, Afric, Thailand, etc. Al Qaeda is just a front for Saudi Arabia, Bush, Cheney and the Carlylse Group. Remember, the Bushes were behind Hitler, too.

You know why this hasn’t been splashed all over the media? It’s those neo-cons—-those (insert ethnic group here) who control the press and the pentagon and are draining America for Israel. That’s it. Now its out. Always look for the (insert ethnic group here).

And dumb us. We keep arming the House of Faud and supporting their crooked government, just because they are allies in helping us root out the terrorists. Why if we just nuked Saudi Arabia there would be no radical Islam or Islamic terrorism anywhere in the world.

Lynne Stewart is perfect proof of that.

Surely even many Leftists are unhappy with having that mad animal visiting any site in America. He supports terrorism and it was terrorists who have attacked and threatened us for decades. Cold War ass-kissing is not necessary in dealing with these people.

Surely even the Left can let their revulsion for a theocrat overide their revulsion for their fellow citizens protesting this visit.

If “engaging” Iran results in that country’s leadership pounding sand, I’m all for it.
