"Bin Laden was neutered, so capturing him wasn't that important for the safety of America"
"Once bin Laden was neutered, converting Iraq to a democracy was far more important for the future of the USA. It isn't even a close call."

You guys have made this all up after failing to find WMD and you know that. And when people dont buy your convoluted logic, they are then unpatriotic or liberals or uninformed and that is an "undeniable fact"!

Seriously, have you even been to other parts of the world (Europe, Canada and Australia doesn't count) with an open mind to understand the culture and interaction between people? Try going to an asian or african or middle eastern country. It's not 'all' scary.

"This is a bogus argument if ever there was one; had we stayed out of Iraq, what leads you to believe we would have caught bin Laden given we still have no idea where he is?"

Common sense says the more resource you put, the more likelihood of success. What's so hard to understand that when you put 150k troops in Iraq and 20k to catch Bin laden, the chance of catching Bin Laden diminishes significantly, even if we ignore the lack of focus and lack of international support as a result of Iraq war.

"The Rs lost the last election because Obama is one of the best public speakers to run for the office. That he narrowly won against McCain at a time when the Ds should, by all rights, have won it going away, speaks volumes."

I noticed you conveniently ignored 2006 election results. And Obama won 'narrowly'? 7% popular vote and 2:1 electrol vote? Seriously, do you just argue to keep your seratonin level up or are you math challenged?
