Oh, yeah Al Qeeeda is really crippled.

I don't think most people would object to the death toll of U.S. soldiers and marines in Iraq if, e.g., they were dying to defend our country.

exactly. Like all of these arguments, that is really the only point that matters in how peole reach their conclusions (with the exception of 30% of your side that truly believes that a passive response to all bad is the best response)

I don't think I'd fuck a man who thought he was about to die. I really can't believe you'd be thinking about MY pleasure racing the grim reaper to get your own pop in.

FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did.

By the way, Germany declared war on us. But presumably when Hitler did this, it was somehow FDR's fault.

As with so many of your posts, I have no idea what I said that you think you're responding to.

True, but FDR was also supplying the Brits, so Hitler's declaration was not out of left field.

So what's your beef with FDR?

My point was that whether one thinks the problems in Iraq are bad is really decided by whether one thinks there is a reason to have gone there. To you 1 dead soldier is not worth it since you don't think we should have gone.

I have gone so far as responding to it the whole time thinking it was Paigow and then only realizing my mistake a long time after.

Since I told Spanky this morning that the reason it's a quagmire is not the death toll, but the insurgency and the poor prospects for Iraq's future, you are doing a fine job of restating the obvious.

But you can think that the toll in American lives would have been worth it in some circumstances, and yet think that the current situation is a clusterfuck. One question now is, how do we make the best of a lousy situation? Pretending that Baghdad is just like Detroit is probably not the best way to go.

People pay Spanky for his political analysis and include him in conferecne calls to plan policy. Contrast- i think I'm the only one who posts comments on your blog. Maybe you should spend a bit more time reading his stuff and thinking why he might be right.

I got a big heap of comment spam last night, but I was assuming that wasn't you.
