This is ridiculous. What is this guy saying? We shouldn't have entered WWII? We should have entered WWII long before Pearl Harbor happened. The Bosnia conflict leaves huge moral questions, but the USA went in via air, stopped a genocide and got out. Don't even try to draw parallels to the Iraq quagmire. Repubs. should be outraged about W's war instead of walking lockstep with fox news. Now there are nearly 2000 dead US soldiers in Iraq. Is that enough to be mad about yet? Do you repubs even care?? Does anyone really believe that we're "taking the fight to the enemy so we don't have to fight them here?" What a joke! I shouldn't have to say this, but even if we're overextended in a quagmire in Iraq it obviously doesn't mean some quack can't blow up a train in London or NYC or Boston. Could W pull his head out of the sand and deal with N. Korea? Let's not fall for the classic repub diversion tactics. This is not about Harry Truman or the Rose Law Firm. And by the way, the Taliban is alive and well because we left Afganistan early and went to Iraq. Thanks for that one too, Cowboy. All you heros who think the Iraq war is so great, don't knock each other over running to enlist.
