Joe .. you seem to assuming more then what I said
I said .. "like they are"
Yes, I realize before the war there were dissenters and those that were against this war and yes I didn't expect them to shut up
But what I didn't expect was to the extent they would sell out and harm our country like they have with the lies, distortions and leaks of national security like they have.
As for Gore .. I can't speak for something that never happened
Though I will say .. if Gore had someone like Wesley Clark in charge of running this war as Clinton had him in charge with Kosovo .. yes, I am sure I would have a few things to say
Not because helping others and defending peoples freedoms is wrong .. but because Wesley Clark is an idiot
Ok, maybe I read more into your note than what you intended. I'll give you that. But for as much as this forum says there is a bias by the media against Presidnet Bush, there is an opposite bias against the media in many places in the conservative movement. Some with merit, some not.
As for the Gore comparision, I'm saying if everything had been done exactly as it had been done to date, exactly, I don't think many rank and file, grass roots or other types of conservatives would be defending our current situation. I'm asking for intellectual honesty. I don't think you would be happy with our current situation in Iraq if this was a dem president, but the events had been played out in the same manner.
