Right. And this kind of nation-building sh!t is reminiscent of the delusional utopianism of the Woodrow Wilson administration 90 years ago.Just wanted to repeat what you said in bold---because nobody seems to want to face the bald facts before us.

Last I checked we found WMD's. It's just that the Dems keep
moving the goal posts.

Republican U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison repeated her call Thursday for the United States to maintain its commitment to stabilizing Iraq rather than "cutting and running because times are rough." This lost your vote?

No it isn't. There's no comparison. And there is no other viable way to defeat the scourge of islam. If we didn't have to also fight people like yourself while also trying to fight the muslims we'd have a lot better go at it.

The statement that was the basis of the headline was the last straw. With or without WMDs, Saddam Hussein deserved to be taken out. Her pandering lost my vote. She's going to have to work awfully hard in her next term if she wants my vote for whatever office she decides to pursue next.

I am not a cut and run conservative. I have stated repeatedly on this thread that if this were a close race, I would vote for KBH. It is not and will not become a close race. KBH will win with over 60% of the vote.

Section IV of your PDF link states quite clearly the fact that Iraq had WMDs. The only problem seems to accounting for them all.

Apparently there is a bunch of that stuff strewn all over Iraq. The Iraq Survey Group said that there was no NEW WMD production but the dimwits seem to think the other stuff he had just vaporized into thin air.

Hey, don't look at me and pretend that I'm an impediment to anyone's plan to "defeat the scourge of Islam" . . . I'm just a knucklehead who posts on FreeRepublic.
Anyone who is still delusional enough to believe that the U.S. has ever had any intention of "defeating the scourge of Islam" obviously missed the president's remarks a few years ago about that marvelous religion of peace.
And anyone who is still delusional enough to believe that the U.S. has ever had any intention of "fighting for freedom in the Middle East" has obviously forgotten that the first military campaign between the U.S. and Iraq (one of the most overtly secular Islamic countries in the Middle East, BTW) began when the U.S. put hundreds of thousands of troops in harm's way to keep one royal family on a throne and restore another one.

It is necessary to keep reminding the dems that there were 16 (17?) U.N. resolutions ignored. That we were enforcing the resolutions or else there was not point to the U.N.
Indeed, considering the aftermath, there is no point to the U.N., since the wealthist and powerful have done nothing to abate the problem.

Okay. It is good that you aren't in charge. Nor am I for that matter. So who cares? Your comment was off base. This has nothing to do with Wilson and doesn't resemble his plan. We'll "build nations" or someone else will. I prefer it be us.

Your comment was off base. This has nothing to do with Wilson and doesn't resemble his plan. You make a very common mistake by breaking history into small, discrete intervals of time when in fact there is a much bigger underlying trend here.
What you are witnessing here is nothing more than the latest phase of an undertaking that began in the 1940s when the U.S. embarked on an effort to relieve Europe's colonial powers of their possessions and establish modern, secular forms of government in these places. It didn't work in Vietnam, and I have no confidence that it is going to work in the Middle East, either.

No. You make the mistake of trying to link history by very large intervals of time when there is in fact no link. You can't skip over everything from the 1940s and arrive at today and expect me to take you seriously.
What would you have recommended in place of such policies? Please, don't make another lengthy response about how stupid I am because it's starting to piss me off. I'm open to your ideas but if they are only designed to show me how stupid you think I am you can make them in private.
