You're a funky fellow.
In number 1 you said such truths in your answer and then added
Except, of course, that wouldn't work. The Europeans had genocide going on right in their own back yards, knew it, and did absolutely nothing until the US led them in. And you think I should give a fart what THEY think? They seem to think it would be OK if Adolph were Fuehrer of Yugoslavia

In number 2 you spoke such truth and then you added
It may have had one good effect though: I think the Islamic nutcases have now gotten the message that we are not a soft target that will roll over and play dead.

In number 3 you kinda copped out IMO when you said
That depends. Some, like the French, badly need their butt kicked. He may be the man to do it.
But you evade reality. I had 2 choices: Bush or Kerry. The real question is which was better. If I were OBL, I'd vote for Kerry.


In number 4 you really did not answer my question but instead said
Was McNamara?
If you were the leader of a foreign nation, would be inclined to go mano a mani with that man?
I didn't think so.


IMO McNamara was a disgusting warmonger, as he even admits in the movie "The Fog Of War".

In number 5 you say Is she qualified? Undoubtedly.
I believe in my heart you do not believe that. :•)

In number 6 you say The train went off the tracks down there. Someone was going to get that state one way or another and the other side was going to be bitching forever after. You lost. Tough.

Well you did not answer but certainly chastised me eh?

In number 7 you say I have seen no evidence that indicates that even if the machines did have a pre-count for GWB loaded in them, it would have changed the result.

Thank you for your answers.

Sioux

1- Do you feel we were justified to invade Iraq?
Would I have done it if I were CIC given the available evidence? No. The evidence of WMD looked too weak to me. And I don't accept the Res 1441 argument. We are not the world's cop. If the UN wanted that resolution enforced, it could **** well do it itself without us.

This is the reply that I would make but you do it more justice.
