I don't give a shit about WMDs. I would not have supported the invasion of Iraq if I knew that Bush would permit the armchair pussies in the Pentagon to neuter our troops on the ground, instead of letting them do their job: target, kill and capture the enemy--without mercy, without restraint. Instead we have soldiers used like Avon ladies, knocking on doors instead of kicking them in. We see Navy Corpsmen stabbing the Marines in the back and prosecuting them...undermining morale across the board. We saw Americans murdered, charred and dragged through the streets by soulless animals...and did not retaliate. We saw the criminal Al Sadr acting with impunity, instead of hanging from a rope, as MacArthur would have done from day one. We saw our men going door to door in Fallujah...putting them in grave danger in a stupidly misplaced concern over "civilian" casualities. We see CNN run a video for three days of a soldier shooting a Fallujah cochroach who was reaching for his gun...and the disloyal faggots in the Pentagon actually investigated him! Where were the MEN in this government to tell the media "that terrorist got what was coming to him. We will not second-guess our men" Nope. Nothing but treachery from a Pentagon with no honor. And now we see CNN reporter/terrorists filming enemy snipers targeting Americans--these CNN traitors should be fired upon for doing this!
No, I would never have supported this war if I knew that we would hold our men back, treat them like criminals, handle the enemy with kid gloves, obsess over the vile creatures of the "Arab street", and give the media carte blanche to betray our fighting men.
Well said. If a politician opposed the war for the reasons you cite, I'd have no problem with it.
I'm still gonna hold my nose and take some anti-nausea pills and vote republican.
