Couldn't very well call it a bunch of left wing crap, could you?

Wouldn't make any difference any more than distinguishing cow manure

I'm sure you remember...

"Mission accomplished!"
- Banner welcoming George W. Bush aboard the USS Lincoln, May, 2003?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but in May 2003, the USS Lincoln *was*
returning home (to its home port in Washington). Its mission certainly
was acccomplished, and with pride. Please try to pay attention with a
little more care.


But now listen to the dean of American conservative journalism:

"One can't doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed."
--Wm. F. Buckley, February, 2006

And who elected this genius "dean?" I missed that election.


It takes some very intense denial to see the invasion of Iraq as anything
but a grotesque blunder. Even serious American conservative thinkers are
beginning to admit this. Now, the harm done is becoming evident: American
power and international influence--squandered in Iraq--are in short supply
when needed to confront *real* threats.

Uh huh. So sorry to see a tyrant committing atrocities on his own
people disposed of to a courtroom, I see. Probably much easier for you
to turn your back on it and pretend otherwise. Conversely, I think it
is a good thing, no, a great thing, that someone who maintained
political control through rape rooms and lobbing off ears, not to
mention horrible God-awful unspeakable pain through torture is out of
the picture. Think how much you would want your wife, sister, mother,
daughter to be raped by henchman of the state to influence you because
you are "suspected" of being not completely loyal to a dictator.
