You said: The folks who were looting those buildings were unarmed Remember LA several years ago. The people looting were also MOSTLY unarmed. Where were the Iraqi Police during the looting? If Saddam had not turned the police into an anti people force they might have stayed on the job. The fact remains that the coalition did not commit enough troops to secure the entire country from attack. Plans in war evolve. It is much easier to be an armchair general than to command and have every move dissected by critics. Congress gave no authority whatsoever for Bush to move American troops into Iraq in order to establish a democracy. That is implied. Did they authorize the military to establish anarchy? Would it be in the best interests of the world to establish anarchy in Iraq? Interesting how you with to blame the Dems for clear GOP... mistakes. Can you honestly try to hold Republicans responsible for the military budget shrinking every year under Clinton? ROTFLMFAO Sorry, pal. ... you can't get any of this right. Can ya? Wrong. I am not your pal, and your expressed attitude is unlikely to lead in that direction. While I have several friends of different political stripe than myself, none of them are intolerant partisans. Your post is based on spin and misrepresentations. All I saw from the post to which I'm responding to were excuses and distortions of fact. The above quote describes your post perfectly. If you wish to establish a civil discourse based on facts you are welcome to try.
