I enjoy watching her speak. Because everytime she speaks in public she becomes less of a grieving mother and more a raving lefty that would make Moore proud.

I am sure she is doing this for Moore brownie points. You can morph her into whatever you please, doesn't and will never diminish the fact that she is indeed, a grieving mother. But I like the mental picture I have in my head of the right using her like a Mrs. Potato Head doll :p

I dont really care why she is doing it. Just let her keep on speaking it is funny as hell at this point to watch the circus.

I maintain you don't have one shred of documentation to substantiate any of that. I further maintain that all investigations by the CIA, the FBI and the 9/11 committee refute your statements entirely.

You need more than smoke, mirrors and a bullsh8 agenda to justify what this stupid war has cost in lives, money and the good name and reputation of the United States of America. George Bush, Jr. and his adminstration are an embarrssment to this nation and all of humanity. :|

I am glad you asked (and not just launch stupid attacks). I maintain that we went there to 1.) protect America. We believed that Saddam had WMD and would, if given the chance, use them against us when he finished developing the capacity to carry-out such attacks. 2.) To liberate millions of Muslims living under one of the most oppressive regimes in history. To remove someone who has killed hundreds of thousands of his own people. To remove someone who raped and murdered his own constituency. To remove a growing threat.

Again, I cannot understand how liberalcons can oppose this war, even from the beginning, given the ends it hopes to achieve...the liberation of millions. Females are no able to go to school in Afghanistan and Iraq...holding elections and learning the true meaning of self-determination...why deny people the most fundamental tenet of humans--free will?

1. Protect America from what? A pitty "third world country" dictator with no capabilities on striking the US? Iraq was contained for many years and they never threatend to attack the US.

2. Yeah right! Most of you guys could not even find Iraq on a map before the invasion, but I am supposed to believe that you cared?

3. To remove someone who killed thousands with weapons bought with the money from your goverment.


And again I repeat: The money and lives LOST in Iraq would have done a lot fighting the real enemy

Had we of not went into Iraq and Saddam launched a missile killing everyone in a blue state, the liberalcons would have gone nuts asking why he didn't do something. The fact of the matter is, Democrats sat on their hands throughout the 90's while we were attacked repeatedly and we finally have an administration who will make the hard decisions to do whatever it takes to protect Americans. Yea, yea, I know...Saddam wasn't a threat...tell that to every single Democratic Senator who approved the use of force; tell that to Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and the rest of the liberal leaders who arrived at the same conclusions as the Bush administration: Saddam must leave office or face the dogs of war.

Ridiculous. I'll address these in your own numerical order:

1. We had zero evidence to suggest SH had the ability or the inclination to use WMDs against us (unlike, say, North Korea, which was literally at that moment openly developing nuclear weapons and threatening to use them against the US).

2. We never cared about any of those things when we were funding SH under the Reagan and GHWB administrations. We paid for the chemical weapons he used against the Kurds, and they were made largely of chemicals sold to him by US companies with the approval of the US government. We have disregarded and continue to disregard similar and even worse human-rights abuses in dozens of countries, to include most of sub-Saharan Africa.

What evidence was there that SH was "a growing threat"? His regime was one of the only ones in the middle east NOT to have harbored al Qaeda, and his connection to international terrorism was a whole lot more tenuous than, say, Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, to name just a few. The sanctions, even with the cheating we passively allowed, were succeeding in rendering Iraq more or less completely prostrate. The idea he was a growing power is just crazy.

What I guess I don't get is how anyone can even argue that we attacked Iraq more or less precisely because that's what the PNAC playbook dictated. It just boggles my mind that the public is so ignorant of PNAC, and the blame has to fall on the lapdog "liberal media".

That sad part is that you really believe that horseshit. The intelligence was so cooked that anyone would believe it. Clinton might have suspected, but he didn't jump the gun on half ass intelligence and start a war.

As Colon Powell said after his speech to the UN for war..."I wonder how people are going to feel if we drop 1/2 million troops in Iraq and go from one end to another and find nothing?".

Cooked the intelligence. I guess the American people can see it easier than you fanboys....as Bush's ratings overall and in honesty are both below 50%....with approval at a nice low of 36%. Will it effect him? no...will it effect the GOP congress.....2006 will tell.

You see, my friend, terrorism has been around for decades. We turned a blind eye when attacked before...6 times under Clinton. We turn no more blind eyes. Sorry. Bush didn't create terrorists; Bush is defending us from terrorists...something the liberalcons of the blue states fail to understand (well, not all of them...Hillary et al are still on board, just the moveon.org fringe is out of control).

Nobody asserted that he "created" terrorism (although he may be a terrorist himself). It was said that going to Iraq created terrorists. Al-Qaeda is reportedly two times the size it was before we went to Iraq. iraq is the poster for Al-Qaeda recruitment, but of course, you don't see it that way. They're free...they're free....oh wait, Islamic Constitution ....oops.

That's such a crock of sh8! There's not a chance in hell that Berger, or anyone else, would have access to every copy of every document that supports your ridiculous assertertions. Assuming, for the moment, that he did, there wouldn't have been enough room to stuff all that paper down his leg, even if he had borrowed the Jolly Green Giant's overalls.
Did you read the quotes from the honorable William Jefferson Clinton? He, too, believed, even when we evaded, that Saddam had WMD...doesn't really square with the liberalcon talking points, does it?
The honorable (?) ex-President was out of office by 9/11. What he believed, based on the information he had at the time, and reality as it existed, later, disproved your idiocy.

For reference, Congress grudgingly gave Bush permission to start the war if he believed it necessary. They did not declare the war or give the orders to start it. They accepted the cooked up evidence given to them by the administration.

Remember Colin Powell's bogus slide show for the U.N.? He "proved" conclusively that Saddam had facilities to produce chemical weapons... What chemical weapons facilities :roll:
Had we of not went into Iraq and Saddam launched a missile killing everyone in a blue state, the liberalcons would have gone nuts asking why he didn't do something.
What part of BULLSH8!!! do you not understand? Prove it, or STFU!
Freedom is on the march.
And with any luck, it will march right over petty wannbe tyrants like George Bush, Jr. and his adminstration and take loudmouth neocon chickenhawks like you with it. :|

You say Bush was wrong to go into Iraq....but what made him wrong and Clinton right for bombing Bosnia? They were killing thier own...they were not going to do anything to us so who cared?

They should have handled it on thier own and kept us out of it. Besides we had NO evideince that ehtnic cleansing was taking place...just words of a few people "claiming" thier families had been wiped out....

Here's what I don't understand. These pro-war people are presumably angry because they think Sheehan is speaking for them, that she's implying she has the support of all military families. While I'm not sure that's what she's been doing, I can understand why they might be upset thinking she is. So naturally, their response is to do exactly the same thing she's doing...what pro-war people have been doing for a long time now, presuming to speak for soldiers and military families. "Oh, but we DO speak for them" is the predictable reply, but I'm not so sure they are right. And in any case, it's certainly pretty clear Americans are pretty divided on the issue. Can we maybe have a debate without small groups of people speaking for everybody else?
