Discussing Bush puts this into perspective.

He cheated on his wife also??? Didn't know that one.

Some lies you tolerate from your fellow man and politicians and others you condemn fiercely.

Don't really tolerate lies from anybody myself, but what the hey like my Daady always said "You can't choose…

The reform of the Mahdi Army could eventually lead to the emergence of a movement modeled on the Palestinian movement Hamas or Lebanese Hezbollah, experts have said.

Ain't going to happen. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and the Iraqi central government are the ones exerting control now and Sadr and is…

Try this for a headline I would have liked: "More than a million Iraqis not killed and 4.25 million Iraqis not displaced thanks to aborted U.S. invasion."

We invaded get over it......We came damn near to losing after we invaded because Bush and Co didn't have a clue, I accept…

Big deal and real bad luck you supported it in the first place.

If I didn't the headline wouldn't read as it does.

I don't even want to imagine the headline you would have liked to be seen here…

So what one has to do to combat this ignorance is by accepting that it happened, but criticize the way they handled the post occupation.

And deny that they corrected that by the surge.

There is a large amount of truth to what you wrote, but it really doesn’t change what I wrote. What happens in the US over the coming months is all our businesses. Won win will make a difference, even if we are not American & cannot vote. And maybe you…

sailwind,

glad you finally admit what the liberals on this board said before the invasion of Iraq, its simply blood for oil. And McCain the Songbird simply wants to continue the old and failed policies of the bush administration.

So was the first Gulf war to liberate Kuwait after Saddam…

But in our treatment of the Hintons, whose leftist views were deemed threatening to our national security, how different were we from the Chinese who treated those deemed to be rightists in a very similar fashion?

I say it still makes a difference whether the correct translation is that "the occupying regime must be wiped off the map" or "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time".
