You guys started this war.....you fight it. And if you don't fight it, then you all are cowards right down to the Bush twins.

I didn't start this war. Neither did the Bush twins. Neither of us really even knows the Bush twins opinion of it.

Most politicians who participated in getting it started are to old to join up. Their kids may or may not be supporters of the war, either way the adult children are responsible for their own actions.

Also if the eventual Democratic candidate for president is not a veteran and doesn't have a child who is serving are you going to bash him or her? Do you go around bashing Democratic politicians in general if they haven't served? Of course not.

You're missing the point. It wasn't a Dem. who started this war.


I'm not missing it. Its meaningless. Either having served is an important criteria for people who decide important national security issues or it isn't. If it is, that includes people opposing the war.

shouldn't you be giving us your monthly speech that things are not that bad in Iraq?

I don't think I've ever said that things aren't so bad in Iraq, let alone given monthly speeches about it. I might have said that things are not as horrible as some people claim but there's a lot of distance between that and "things are not so bad".
