David only can see what he wants to see!

No David, nobody thinks that. But the woman is running for President. See the difference?

Great song.

Blame it on Hillary, blame it on Hillary, you’ll feel so much better, blame it on Hillary.

Nah, doesn’t quite work.

Unlike you I did not support going in. But for guys like you to cut and run with no plan after you created the mess demonstrates the re-active ill thought out behavior that got us in their.

That is why the bipartisan local control plan makes the most sense that I have seen to avoid a regional civil war. And then bring in regional players based on culture to help with peace.

BTW you are the one for imperialism based on your support of HILLARY! As I said I was not for being the peace keeper for the world like you!

I am not for exploiting people for profits like you!

Do you think keeping American troops in Iraq will stop the civil war? If the answer is yes, what is the reason for failure thus far? If no, how do you ask a man to be the last one to die for a failed cause?

.

Do you think Senator Clinton is solely responsible for the invasion, destruction and occupation of Iraq? If not, do you think she carries the majority of the responsibility alone? If not, why do you keep harping on one senator’s vote, and ignore the administration’s war crimes?

.

By what authority do you think it is America’s right to try to change “the Middle East into Countries not ruled by tyrants”?

I note with curiosity your citation of Robert A. Pape’s work. Do you support the concept of Offensive Realism, put forth by his mentor, John Mearsheimer? To remind you,

“Given the difficulty of determining how much power is enough for today and tomorrow, great powers recognize that the best way to ensure their security is to achieve hegemony now, thus eliminating any possibility of a challenge by another great power. Only a misguided state would pass up an opportunity to become hegemon in the system because it thought it already had sufficient power to survive.”

How does such a view fit with your perspective on imperialism?

While kids came home to rats at WALTER REED, VETS forced out of much needed healthcare, 9 billion dollars of tax payer money lost, war profiteering by Halliburton (Tax payer money borrowed from China) while they do business with IRAN and OIL COMPANIES giving money to politicians like Price to guarantee their profits!

TOM PRICE if your kid was in IRAQ you might of “micro-manage” the details better!

I hope you don’t mind. I cross posted this over at PeachPud.

Thanks very much for a well thought out and executed post.

It doesn’t matter if the Word democrat or ‘the Left’ is used.

There are no celebrations of the type being proposed by Erick Erickson, the PeachPud, Red State, etc.

However, to really put the record straight, every death is remembered on Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and the Fourth of July, to name three national holidays.

Perhaps, Errorick Errorickson doesn’t acknowledge these as ‘celebrations.’

Mad Dog

P.S. We can only hope reasonable voters put Errorick in the correct place come Election Day.

Do you think nothing will happen if we just pull out? And please explain why Hillary was for the war and led the charge?

At the end of the day the concept of trying to change the Middle East into Countries not ruled by tyrants is noble. And you had experts like Thomas Freidman supporting the idea. And BTW I support the idea!

I just did not support the plan. We should get of foreign oil dependency and use our purchases to effect change. We should stop supporting exploitive trade deals like Oman and CAFTA… that has only been used against us by radicals to claim we are imperialist.

If you understood the issue you would know your pro imperialism view is causing more tension around the world than anything else! That is why NEO LIBS like you and Hillary and not much different than NEO CONS at the end of the day.

Why not read about terrorism and the roots of the problem and not use HILLARY talking points!

Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism (2005; ISBN 1-4000-6317-5) is Robert A. Pape’s analysis of suicide terrorism from a strategic, social, and psychological point of view. It is based on a database he has compiled at the University of Chicago, where he directs the Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism. The book’s conclusions are based on data from 315 suicide terrorism campaigns around the world from 1980 through 2003 and 462 individual suicide terrorists. Published in May 2005, Pape’s volume has been widely noticed by press, public, and policymakers alike, and has earned praise from Peter Bergen and Michael Scheuer.
Dying to Win is divided into three parts, analyzing the strategic, social, and psychological dimension of suicide terrorism

Since you seem to be one of the only ones who actually supports the war, perhaps you might tell me why we’re fighting.

Appreciate it.
