However, I do not agree with you on this issue...and that's fine, IMHO. I abhor the idea of America becoming the World's Policeman, but when Evil struck us on 9/11/01, we have no other option but to go after the Evil-doers and make them unable to do further damage. Iraq is, IMHO, a ticking time bomb that must be diffused and there ain't nobody else out there to do the diffusing!! Remember, my libertarian FRiend, Evil only flourishes when the Good stand by and do nothing. That might be Harry Browne's solution or Pat Buchanan's solution, but it ain't mine!!
libertarian FReegards...MUD
Personally, I've known a decent number of sincere conservatives who swore by Buchanan, but I increasingly convinced that a growing number of the folks who claim to have supported him are just like McStainiac RATS who have lost all credibility on this Forum.

We did go after Osama. He's dead, the Taliban gone. Mission accomplished. Time to declare victory and go home.
Our policy toward Iraq reminds me of the Aesop fable, the wolf and the lamb. They met by a stream, and the wolf made all sorts of accusations and excuses as to why the lamb had dissed him. The lamb was able to prove each one wrong, so the wolf simply shrugged it off and ate the lamb anyway.
Saddam may not be a cute lamb, but the US seems determined to attack, never mind the facts. No 9/11 connection was proven, so now we're using the "pre-emptive strike" excuse. How is he going to stirke? We've been bombing Saddam for over a decade. He can't fly his planes in most of Iraq. He's penned in.
Saddam may be bad, but he's down. He oppresses Kurds -- but so do the Turks -- our allies, over which we say nothing. Ticking time bomb? There are baddies all over the globe. I see no 9/11 connection -- only a determined effort to see something, anything, so we can attack.
So pick up the current Soldier Of Fortune. Their classifieds should list dozens of armies seeking men like you, eager to fight the "next Hitler."
There are "next Hitlers" all over the globe. But America was founded as the "well-wisher of liberty to all, but the defender only of its own."
I don't suppose you have that or a link to the hitler video, do you?......
I didn't find it via Google Search. Correction, the one I found was a bad
link.....
Please allow me to introduce the World...
To the Left, they feel no shame!
Been around here for forty long years...
Stole many a man's Hope and Faith!
Fascists in Power when Jesus Christ...
Bore our crosses and bore our pain.
Made damn sure our Savior...
Wouldn't threaten their Evil Reign!
Please believe me...Lib'rals are to blame!
Despite their righteous talk, more Power is their aim!!
They saw their chance in St. Petersburg,
When they saw the Monarchy had been shamed.
Killed the Czar and his ministers...
As well as any Man who could think!
They rode the tanks in Heil Hitler's ranks...
When the blitzkrieg raged and all Waco stank!
Please believe me...Socialists are to blame!
Oh, yeah! Bloody failures, yet, they seem oblivious to shame!
They cheered with glee helpin' Pol Pot succeed...
Led by Hanoi Jane, their hands are bloody-stained!
They shouted out, "Who killed the Left's Elite?"
While slaughterin' all who just wished to breathe free!
Let me please clarify myself, these Elites have wealth and "taste"...
But their attacks on Liberty...have become a National Disgrace!!
I swear to you, Democrats are to blame!
Oh yeah! But what's puzzlin' me is their arrogant lack of shame!
Ah, yeah!...Go out and get 'em, boys!!
(cool guitar jammin')
Please believe me, Slick's tyrants are to blame.
Oh yeah! But what's important now is the ending of Bill's reign!
'Cuz the Prez'dent's just a criminal...and all his critics Saints!
While I could call Slick "Lucifer," I'll exhibit some restraint!
When you see Slick, show due courtesy...
But have no sympathy, 'cuz Bill's a snake!
Condemn all his corrupt politics, or be ashamed to show your face!!
Pleased to meet you...Mudboy Slim's my name!
Uhm, yeah! Bringin' Clinton down is why I must serenade.
Uhmm, I mean it...Get out...Yeehah...Resign!...Get on out, BOY! Ah, yeah!

Tell us, Willie, where's your shame?!
Tell you one thing, Slick's to blame!!
Ooh Hoo! Ooh Hoo! Wahoo! Alright! Ooh Hoo Ooh! Ooh Hoo Ooh! Ah yeah!
MUDBOY SLIM
And didn't Le Monde report that the CIA met Osama in a Paris hospital in July? Wanna explain that?
Don't bother. By now, everyone and every nation has been "connected" to 9/11, and no one and no nation. It's down to who you want to believe. Many Americans believe anything a Dem leader says, others believe anything a GOP leader says. I mistrust the State, no matter who's in office.
But don't worry. You'll get your war, even without my support. I'm sure you'll enjoy watching another "turkey shoot" on CNN. The State will tell you that it is good, and you'll believe it, like a good little citizen.
I'm sick and tired of reading posts by freepers who support the war plans drawn up by old fossil Washington bureaucrats that will send our young volunteer armed forces to fight in a foreign land for reasons that many of them cannot agree on.Why? Perhaps you'd care to write some advisory notes to SOD Rumsfeld, school political neophite Cheney on the merits of the Bush foreign policy? Are you suggesting that it is our "old fossil Washington bureacrats" that they are divided on the reasons we are conducting the WOT? If so, don't insult American or the families of the 3,000 that were taken from us on our own soil! If you were suggesting in your above statement that it is our "young volunteer armed forces" that are divided on the reasons they risk their lives in defense of this great nation, then shame, shame, shame. This is not Vietnam, sir. You are not fit to set foot upon the ground these heroes walk. Maybe your statement was simply not clear enough and you were really expressing concern over recent reports that there is an upper echelon division over strategy concerning the toppling of Saddam. In which case, you, sir, drank the coolaid. This is not "the Gulf" all over again. There is purpose in the Bush administration's portrayal of a divided house---DISINFORMATION
Would you rather us sit back and literally do nothing(like the Clinton years?) until the time comes when our families suffer the massive destruction that has been promised us? Would you rather we not effectively prosecute the WOT by leaving in power a chief terrorist state dictator who has known ties and links to terrorists internationally and the attacks on 9 11? Have you seen the site where the towers once stood? The Pentagon? Does it not strike you the imminency and urgency to return fire in defense of liberty and freedom where a foe would have us destroyed for these simple, yet meaningful words?
Bring back the draft and draft the sons of these Ivy league ba$tard$ as well as the sons of the CEO's who run the industrial/military complex and bankers who profit from a war.
Respectfully, your statement here smacks of isolationism, class envy,liberal anti-establishment and anti-Vietnam attitudes of the late 60's and 70's. If you have lost a loved one in Vietnam, I am sorry for your loss. BUT, this is not Vietnam or Panama or Korea or WWII, for that matter. In WWII, more men were lost than should've been due to fence-sitting, isolationist attitudes like those transparent in this post.
We are not launching a war here, edmund929. We have been attacked and, in fact, war had been declared on the US at least as early as the first WTC bombing in '93. We are responding to this declaration of war with the smartest possible way to win a war and that, for the US, is taking out our enemies, aggressively eviscerating terrorists and the nation states that support them of the ability to due so, thereby, ensuring the future of liberty and freedom FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
As for the draft-there will be no need for the draft in the foreseeable future. If the President of the United States calls on the able-bodied men and women of this country to enlist in defense of this country(traslate-Unlce Sam needs the whole family), I predict you will see enlistment numbers rival and possibly surpass the numbers seen in the US in WWII.
So, in total, the attitudes so thinly veiled behind your post are devisive, sophmoric and insulting-to me, this country, her citizens and our brave freedom fighters.
God Bless America and those will would fight to see her through!
Yep! You may have already seen post #100?.............

Yep, and he still is. I wish he'd crawl back under the rock he came from.
