>> You are taking Bush's rhetoric hook line and sinker.

I've scarcely heard any of Bush's "rhetoric".

>> What is going on in Iraq now is not a "war" in any normal usage of the word.

This is silly. We can argue about the semantics. But it is certainly the aftermath of a war, and there is certainly still fighting going on.

The hearts and minds of the Iraqi people aren't the problem. We have that. Most reporters who have spent significant time there come back saying so. Iraqis believe they have a future, they're glad we took Saddam out, they simply need security, and that's going to take some time.

The problem is this small group of dangerous people who don't want it. And we have to stamp them out like the cockroaches they are. And we will.

It seems to me you don't have a grasp on the situation. You don't know why we're there. You don't know what we need to do to get out. You seem lost on the subject.

Who's rhetoric have YOU bought hook, line and sinker?
