JF, > It's one thing to be wrong it's another to be bitter towards those that were right.

I'll just wait until the Democrats prove themselves to be worse than Republicans.

But regardless, I don't consider Scott Ritter to be an "expert" on Iraq. After all, he predicted, no, BETTED that Baghdad would never fall.

re: They were trying to create self-fulfilling prophesies of defeat.

It's one thing to be wrong it's another to be bitter towards those that were right. You are young, chalk it up to experience and maybe next time you won't be so eager for America to go to war.


Every time I think about that post you dug up where I am posting to David Ray, I get more angry. There were many people who knew that this Iraqi war was wrong and spoke up. I bet their numbers were greater than those who spoke up against the Vietnam War when it started; they had learned the lessons from past mistakes but because they weren't in control they couldn't stop it; because the wrong Bush got into the presidency and had an axe to grind with his father, we, the people, are paying for that mistake. I want to hit someone it makes me so mad.
