Actually conservatives support the the war against terrorism, on both fronts, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Iraq has been as equally important as Afghanistan. In both countries, america has killed or captured many Al Qaida leaders, and Al Qaida soldiers.
As I demontrated, troop levels in Afghanistan have increased under Pres. Bush. There was a surge that was workign quite well in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
In Afghanistan, Al Qaida militants became more and more desperate.
What needs to be done is america need to go wherever these terrorists are hiding and have sanction. If that means Yemen next so be it.
If Iran and Syria are helping them, there are things the US can do sort of a full scale invasion to give them a message, such as a 2,000 pound bomb on their ministry of defense building.
Liberals are against the war in Iraq, simply because Pres. Bush was for it.
I recall before the invasion of Afghanistan the liberals shouting how we should never do it. How the Soviet Union never succeede in Afghanistan and how America can't either. How there will be over 100,000 american soliders dead because of it. It's kind of funny that this is the one place that they say that they are interested in.
Thank you Jake for the civil discussion.
Once again you prove you don't know what you're talking about.
Charley Reese said ".... U.S. attack on Iraq: "is a prescription for the decline and fall of the American empire. Overextension urged on by a bunch of rabid intellectuals who wouldn't know one end of a gun from another has doomed many an empire. Just let the United States try to occupy the Middle East, which will be the practical result of a war against Iraq, and Americans will be bled dry by the costs in both blood and treasure."
Paul Craig Roberts said "...."an invasion of Iraq is likely the most thoughtless action in modern history."
James Webb said "... "The issue before us is not whether the United States should end the regime of Saddam Hussein, but whether we as a nation are prepared to occupy territory in the Middle East for the next 30 to 50 years."
Conservatives Against a War with Iraq, by Rep. John J. Duncan
I don't think you have the first clue about real Republicans. You probably actually believe shitheads like Cheney Rumsfeld Counter Oreilly Hannity etc, represent Republicans and I'm sure you don't have the first fucking clue about what has been happening in my Party.
Some more info:
Make no mistake: author Gold, a former speechwriter for George H.W. Bush and aide to Barry Goldwater, is one disgusted Republican. The GOP of the 2006 midterm election, he writes, is "a party of pork-barrel ear-markers like Dennis Hastert, of political hatchet men like Karl Rove, and of Bible-thumping hypocrites like Tom Delay." Gold looks to Goldwater, "a straight-talking, freethinking maverick," as the yardstick by which to measure just how far the party of Lincoln has fallen. He traces the beginning of the end to the 1980 Republican National Convention and the presence of "a militant new element...personified by Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell." The other half of the equation, the neoconservatives, are embodied by Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, "two cuts from the same Machiavellian cloth."

Your ignorance is astounding.
This is a good example of how CMike, PP, liability, etc.....skip over posts they are not capable of responding to. Instead they whine about insignificant shit. They claim to be informed but even on rudimentary elements they know they fail to grasp the slightest tinges.
That's bent tight's standard M.O. He quotes excessively making his posts far too long-winded and almost unreadable. He cites his opinions as though they were facts or even fact-based. They aren't. He attempts, in his pathetically ineffective way, to marginalize his opposition via ad hominems all the while whining about ad hominems when shot back at his stupid ass. And he lies his ass off constantly.
No need to thank me for so accurately summarizing bent tight's posting efforts. Really. It's just a public service.
