What do you mean when you say democrats were politicizing the war? You
may recall that in 1999 GWB stated that the key to a successful
presidency is being seen as a commander in chief, and that he planned to
have a successful presidency. This pretty strongly implies that GWB was
going to find a war to wage one way or another. This implication coupled
with the doctoring of intelligence about Iraq's WMD threat suggests that
Bush chose Iraq to establish his legacy.

Colin, what do you think about a president who chooses to wage war in
order to leave a nice legacy for his name? How many soldiers' lives are
worth the piece of historical real estate Bush tried to homestead?

Colin, would you say that waging a war of choice to establish a legacy
is "politicizing" the war?

Can you point to anything that a prominent democrat has done that comes
remotely close to this level of evil?

This last paragraph is interesting. if you will, Colin, list your
losses, suffering, and sacrifice.

"Ding Dong the dummy's gone . . ." A sterling example of an intelligent
man with a dearth of common sense. At last we are reaching the end game
of the Iraq fiasco, a sad example of how not to prosecute a military
campaign. And all they had to do was copy the operations plan from
Europe in WW2, where the Allied Military Government followed right
behind the fighting lines.
But no-o-o-o----.
