Re: This board makes me laugh (a reality check)
"I think the crux of the disagreement critics have with the administration's policy is that the invasion and occupation of Iraq have nothing to do with national survival. That we were attacked by Al Qaeda which was being harbored by the Taliban in Afghanistan."
I think that is a fair point. Certainly the battle in Iraq has clouded the overall perception of the war. "I disagree with this. Every citizen is entitled to voice his or her opinion and it doesn't necessarily require a chicken to recognize an egg. There is also a sporting events forum in which many of us comment on trades and strategies. We don't need to play the game to have some knowledge of expertise or have something to contribute. After all, the president hasn't grabbed a ruck and a rifle, but that doesn't affect how I view his decisions. " You didn't post the next sentence, I wonder why? |

Ok, the invasion was wrong, but now that that is history we must deal with today's problems. Getting out of Iraq right now will not solve anything. Why continually harp about the invasion and try to use that incident to discredit the work being done now?

Hey Peter,
Where am I "harping" about the invasion? (Or did you mean the president's professional critics?) |

I mean the president's professional critics and Michael Mooreheads.

This is stupid. One guy's opinions are deemed a "reality check" by himself? Just because you're in the military means you have some spectacular insight that we cannot comprehend? You have some good points, but to call this war one of national survival is embarassingly inept, but I point you to andy's response.

But I guarantee you that my insight is far broader than many simply from first hand experience.
