"Bogged down in the anti-war mindset"? Whatever ace, I was IN this war. How many muslims have you killed? An once again your ignorance, or just complete ignoring of my position is showing. I am FAR from anti-war. I am pro-correct war, and I hate to tell you this, Iraq is not the correct "war". It is an exercise in nation building, and corporate tax scam.
Let me turn your attention to the monkey in office. Here are some exerts from Bushs debate with Al Gore in 2000...
We can help build coalitions but
we can't put our troops all around the world. We can lend money but we have to do it wisely.
We shouldn't be lending money to corrupt officials. So we have to be guarded in our generosity.
BUSH: Started off as a humanitarian mission and
it changed into a nation-building mission, and that's where the mission went wrong. The mission was changed. And as a result, our nation paid a price. And so
I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation-building. I think our troops ought to be used to fight and win war. I think our troops ought to be used to help overthrow the dictator when it's in our best interests. But in this case it was a nation-building exercise, and same with Haiti. I wouldn't have supported either.
BUSH: I don't think so. I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations. Maybe I'm missing something here.
I mean, we're going to have kind of a nation building core from America? Absolutely not. Our military is meant to fight and win war. That's what it's meant to do. And when it gets overextended, morale drops.
BUSH: Let me comment on that. I'm not so sure the role of the United States is to go around the world and say this is the way it's got to be. We can help. And maybe it's just our difference in government, the way we view government. I want to empower the people. I want to help people help themselves, not have government tell people what to do.
I just don't think it's the role of the United States to walk into a country and say, we do it this way, so should you.
There's your figurehead. Running on a sound foreign policy, then completely turning it around to preserve big money interest in the name of "fighting terrorist" The sheeple are blinded by the flag he tied over there eyes. It's a worse case study in "say it enough, and it becomes true". People don't even question it.
