What's this I see??? Did you actually make an effort to take an informed position??? Maybe there's some hope for you after all.

Let's see how you did...

>> If in fact the true nature of the threats of Iraq had been known...

ok, you seem to be stating here that we were uncertain of the true nature of the threat Saddam posed to the U.S at the time the invasion was approved... which means you believe we invaded invaded Iraq on a hunch? Didn't you also just claim that anyone who didn't clearly and definitively know that Saddam posed an serious and immanent threat to American's on our own soil was an idiot? seems more than a bit contradictory to me...

>>and very likely get a unanimous UN vote as well

i don't see how you can support this conclusion. given that they have yet to prove the existence of significant WMD , I think you are making a serious and unwarranted leap of faith here.

>>The reason those who hate America will vote for kerry.

u honestly believe that kerry's constituency hates america? let's try to leave the hyperbole out of this, it is beneath us.

>>hanoi kerry

ad hominem at its finest.

>>said in effect that the entire command structure of the US was inbed with the total and systemic murder and rape of the Vietnamese people.

massive hyperbole again, despite your use of "in effect." it would be much better if you stuck to kerry's own words and pointed out to whom he was referring. i know it's an effort, but aren't conservatives always berating the libs for being so damn lazy? if abuses did exist in Vietnam, I don't consider him a traitor for speaking out on them. if he exaggerated his tail of abuses to get attention, well then he may be guilty of using hyperbole to get his point across. gosh, can u think of anyone else who might do the same?

>>Any person who indicates they will vote for such proven dishonesty clearly are suffering from some severe mental defect. To be polite I call them idiots.

Here's a hypothetical for you. What will you do if it turns out that Bush's recently found military records conflict with his claims of what he was doing at the time in question?

Thomas... I do not want to discourage you from making further attempts at informed debate, so I will be kind here. Thanks for making an effort to be a little more thoughtful, but try to make more of an effort to not violate every rule of reason in one post next time.. ;)

i've had enough fun for one evening... g'night all.
