Subject: So I am not allowed to disagree with...
In reply to: BJ 's message, "Re: Not so, so sayth the Supreme Court. Here I thougth you had actually read..." on Friday, August 04, 12:13:16pm

the Supreme Court? I know how they ruled regarding these thugs and it is shameful. The fact you have any compassion for anyone who attacks our country makes me question your loyalties.

>Please explain how the Iraq invasion was justified?
Since you seem to be unable to comprehend, I will explain it again. Hussein in Iraq was a destabilizing force in the region. We do not like him any more so he must go. Now Iran is acting up, who would have guessed? It was only a matter of time before this happened. Guess what, we now have two fronts from which to attack Iran should it become necessary.

>Where is bin Laden?
Who cares, he has been rendered completely ineffective though I would thrill at the sight of his flaming body.

>Two of our Top Generals said yesterday before Congress that Civil War is near.
I have said several times we have not conducted this war in a manor that would be decisive and bring a quick end to hostilities.

>How many have to die, like in Nam,
Your hero's Kennedy and Johnson were responsible for the vast majority who died in Viet Nam with NO CLEAR OBJECTIVE so don�t even go there.

>before Bush will admit it was a terrible mistake?
It was not a mistake to invade Iraq. The execution has been handled in a manor which would appease the press and foreign countries which is the wrong way to conduct a war.
Idea=good
Execution=bad

>Did Rummy screw-up from the very beginning or do you want to blame our soldiers?
I have never blamed our soldiers and one would be stupid making such an accusation. I have trouble laying the blame on Rumsfield as he is on a short leash. You are correct that the blame falls upon the administration but not for the mission, THE PROBLEM IS EXECUITION.

>As far as the treatment of "enemy combatants" have you forgotten Bush also >used it on American citizens.
The few who found themselves in that position had pretty much abandoned our country by taking up arms against it, too bad for them. I could care less if they had a bad time while in custody.

>using the excuse that we lower our standards to match
>theirs, means they have already won.
I never said lower our standards, I said fight them on terms they understand and the hell with world opinion as most other countries are jealous of our wealth and power and only look for an excuse to critisize our country.
