Why?

It is indeed ironic to have an acolyte of the party who gave us Dubya (and his disastrous foreign policy) to criticize Obama. It's kinda like an arsonist criticizing the firefighters who didn't save his house that he just torched.

This is, quite possibly, the most inanely ridiculous statement witnessed on this site.

We're all dumber for having read it.

I hear you Zeke. What's the harm in giving it just a few minutes of reflection and a little spellcheck before hitting the "submit reply" button? All it does is to show a lack of respect towards the other members of this fine forum. Try the "Preview Post" button first Whell and save yourself some grief.

Of course. And the original post in this thread was a hallmark of dispassionate logic and keen insight.

Dispassionate logic. You bet. I don't have the same crushing need to believe the GOPs lies and BS that you do.

Keen insight? Painfully so.

It was decidedly linear, contained at least a modicum of logic and incorporated analysis requiring not a Limbaugh-esque alternative reality for validation.

In sum, it was the opposite of your original, inane, missive of which we are all -- still -- dumber for having read.

I'm sure no help was needed from me to reach that outcome.

I didn't know I was here to be helpful. I'll start typing slower so y'all can keep up.

Afghanistan, although horrible, was an appropriate response to 9/11. Iraq was about as dumb-headed a move as a President could make. I would assert that had we focused our attention where it belonged, on the country that facilitated the 9/11 attacks, we would not be dealing with all of the crap, domestically and internationally, that we're dealing with now. How much has the invasion of Iraq cost our nation in terms of U.S. loss of life and indebtedness?

The notion that somehow Obama has been soft on terror or in any military situation is simply dead-ass wrong.
