I don't care how many Dems voted for it. I know what's right and what's wrong. The Dems and the nation got snookered. The Dems were snookered by a stupid chimp, right? Not just the chimp....and not just snookered. The entire GOP was up in arms and you were either with them or against them. And if you were against them, you were weak on national defense. In fact, intimidation was the operative word. Anyway, the wide support for the war at the time ruins the argument it was a unilateral move by the President. I never said it was a unilateral move but it is still his war. ---------------------------------------------------- Second, you must not think 911 was an attack on the US homeland because our troops involvement in Afghanistan is a direct response to that attack. Afghanistan was the base of the terror group which attacked us on 911. Yes, it is....so why are we in Iraq? Don't change the topic. You included Afghanistan in the far off countries we're wrongly fighting wars in. I wasn't changing the subject. If the fighting in Afghanistan is in retaliation for 9/11, why are we in Iraq? Trying to shift a question about AFghanistan to Iraq is changing the topic. Why are you refusing to answer the question? ----------------------------------------------- I did support the police action in Afghanistan in order to apprehend bin Laden and bring him to trial. I oppose the ongoing wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq. These wars could easily bankrupt the country while accomplishing little. Can you guys not see the forest for the trees? When did the police action in Afghanistan you supported turn into the war in Afghanistan you oppose? When GW Bush said that capturing bin Laden was no longer the prime objective. ------------------------------------------------- What other country do you know has a Pentagon or any military headquarters that's as big? The military is big business in the US. No other country can match our military at present. Thats largely why the world is as free and prosperous as it is. Much of the world is not free.....I think your imagination has run wild. America's ascendance will be remembered as a brief period of peace and prosperity in world history. Where is the peace? All we do is mostly fight someone. That isn't peace. You sound like doublespeak out of 1984.
