It's only plain and simple if you buy your rhetoric.
I don't buy it.
I think terrorists should be hunted down and killed. But I don't think the invasion of Iraq, which had no connection to 9/11, was a good use of our resources. The invasion has, as the CIA stated, actually increased terrorism in the region, and made it more unstable. I'm not sure how you square that with your desire to make the world safe from terrorism. I'm failing to see that crystal clarity which you see.
The recent election was a mandate on the Iraq war. It was a vote against republicans, rather than a vote for democrats, and it was a huge thumbs down on the Iraq war. You may think it's plain and simple that Iraq somehow involved American freedom, but I can't say you've made a good case, and although the president keeps desperately trying to make SOME kind of case, any kind of case, the poll numbers show a fairly large majority don't buy it.
It is, I think, you, who have been outvoted. |
