Only time will tell whose right.
Implies there is a right or wrong, but based on what criteria?

I only hope our elected officals keep party politics secondary to the security of the people of this nation. Unfortunately, I really don't have much faith in that.
In other words "I doubt the political system will be able to 'finish' the war it started." Did you discover this after the war commenced? Or did you suspect this was the case but supported the war anyway? Admitting that you have no faith in the system, you still support a nation building project?

It will probalby take another 9-11 for that to occur.

You are saying that it will take another 9/11 for our political parties to sign onto, your term, World War III and nation building projects.
That is the context for my charge, which I do not make lightly.

Please reread my original post, don't suppose any thoughts on your part. My points are clear. But if I must, here goes:

"Only time will tell whose right. "

After we are long dead (you may quote me on that we will all die one day) history will indicate which approach succeeded, when compared to all other approaches taken, in supporting our countries desire to secure our homeland.

"I only hope our elected officials keep party politics secondary to the security of the people of this nation."

It is what it states; I hope our elected officials put our country ahead of their own desires. Hopefully, this clarifies things on this point.

"Unfortunately, I really don't have much faith in that. "

In context with the preceding statement; recent news with regard to the Dem's wishing to hold up the requested allocations and their apparent politicalizing of Iraq for the 2004 election. I believe the same can be said about the Repubs to a lesser extent.

"It will probably take another 9-11 for that to occur."

Again, in context with the preceding statement. One would think that personal and political aspiration would be put aside, for the most part, in a time of war. As we move further away from 9-11 I see bi-partisanship disintegrating at the alter of the 2004 election. Regardless of what approach is suggested, from either side, I don't see that changing unless another tragedy should occur.

Now with all that being said; please discontinue your efforts in attempting to "re-author" my comments.

Your self-delusional translations are insulting and rather pathetic in nature.

Honestly, how you come to derive some of your thoughts, based on those supplied by myself and others, would be quite amusing if it weren't for the seriousness of the subject.

Too insinuate that I would like to see another 9-11 to further my cause. Who the F* do you think you are; what kind of warped thinking drives you?

Please don't assume anything; just stay away.
