Comments on: From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You ‘Axis of Evil’ http://www.trueblueliberal.com/2006/07/16/from-those-wonderful-folks-who-gave-you-axis-of-evil/ Progressive News and Opinion Since Nov. 3, 2004 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:55:13 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: RLR http://www.trueblueliberal.com/2006/07/16/from-those-wonderful-folks-who-gave-you-axis-of-evil/comment-page-1/#comment-7363 RLR Tue, 25 Jul 2006 11:13:23 +0000 http://truebluestaging.dreamhosters.com/?p=8354#comment-7363 You really need to check your facts about the war and why we went in to Iraq. To mention Afghanistan in passing is to forget the many men and women that are still fighting that just War. We had World support to go after the terrorists in Afghanistan. Not so with Iraq. Placing all the blame on the left doesn't change where we are now. Do you feel safer? Is the world a better place? Your giving sound bite answers to really large and complex issues is not the way to solving anything. I hope venting your feelings made you feel better but it sure doesn't help those in the armed services that are truly risking their lives everyday.

As often is the case people on the far left such as yourself throw bombs at the admin. by picking and choosing facts and painting your own picture which doesnt include giving the reader the whole truth. To write about Iraq as if it was a sales ploy is not only a lie but its irresponsible. You should be ashamed of yourself. As usual, I toss the challenge out to you and your friends to go pitch your vile hatred of our country and what we are doing in Iraq to some one in the military. Go tell it to someone whos son or daughter gave THEIR life for this country and YOU. Someone who gave their life so that YOU sir could continue to cut it down and undermine the efforts and progress we have made all for your own "TrueBlue" political gain. If only people from your position would give an honest look and think with your brain rather than your heart. You talk about going into Iraq when "They didnt attack us" yet you fail to explain that we actually went into Afghanistan first(who did attack us) and after decimating them in about 15 seconds we went into Iraq. You questioning why Iraq instead of whatever country you thought we should have gone into is similar to me questioning Casey's decision to go to the bullpen in the 9th of game 7. You are not a military strategist are you sir? Nor am I. However one can look at the fact that at the time it was IRAQ who was not following the UN's rules and regulations and refused to cooperate with allowing inspections. Iran, and Korea might have weapons now or they might not but they did not threaten us the way they are now, back then. Iraq did. They were not as defiant at the time we went into Iraq.You can revise history all you want but the fact of the matter is all your left wing heros like the Clintons, Kerry, and the like all said Iraq had weapons. They all did. Shortly after the left doctors up "we werent for the war" and the all too infamous "Not in my name"(which they voted for by the way) and claim that there were never any weapons and Bush knew about 9/11 and did nothing to stop it. Can you imagine if we didnt go into Iraq and they hit us with a nuc or a missle? The endless "Bush knew" stuff that we survivors would have had to listen to. The left has never even bothered to submit how they would have handled this conflict. The only thing I have heard are A.) Let the UN handle it. This was completely shot down by the fact that the UN was in bed with Iraq and France was doing favors for them in exchange for oil via the whole oil for food scandal. Then there are the far left hippy's who offered choice B.) We just need to understand them and spread more love man. Love will find a way to make all this go away. I don't even think I need to dignify that garbage with a response. Do I? The sad thing is that there are people in this country who drink this cool-aid, and even worse live it. People like you claim Bush is the bad guy along with conservatives and the Muslim extremist terrorist who we are at war with are the victims who are misunderstood. I will simply submit this question to you. Since it is evident you feel this way, why don't you go join your brothers in head scarves and move to the middle east where atleast you will be fighting against the evil US with your unfairly punished muslim extremist brothers?
