Usually enjoy VDH, but this article is lunacy. Regardless of the reasons for going to war, to sit back ten years later and claim that the war was not only justified but a good idea is to completely ignore reality. And to claim nation building as a valid justification is absolutely contrary to sound conservative thought. Fail VDH!
Why shouldn’T the reasons for going to war be considered 10 years later? I don’T follow your logic.
“.......is absolutely contrary to sound conservative thought. Fail VDH!”
VDH is an old style Zell Miller, George Putnam type Democrat. IOW a Conservative Democrat. He’s NOT a FRee Republic style Conservative at all, thus his perspective.
Your blind denial of the politics in the middle east region and lack of media disclosure of the true intent of our involvement in Iraq is a classic example of the "Low information voter" syndrome.
We now have an alliance with Iraq that includes unrestricted air-space for our planes as well as already constructed landing strips for our fighters and currently abandoned military barracks ready to house our land forces when the inevitable war breaks out between the Islamofascists in that region and Israel.
Denial isn't a river bro, there is a war coming in the middle east and our access to Iraq will be the deciding factor in its outcome.......
