"primarily"? What was the war before? What will it be tomorrow, or in 2011? What else is it now -- I mean, not "primarily"? Let's say, secondarily. "Discuss." Does not feeding the National Guard into a meatgrinder have a place in your philosophy, Horatio? “now”? “primarily”?
What was the war before? What will it be tomorrow, or in 2011?
What else is it now — I mean, not “primarily”? Let’s say, secondarily. “Discuss.“
Does not feeding the National Guard into a meatgrinder have a place in your philosophy, Horatio?

Noone believes you ever supported much of anything-the war is now primarily an attempt to bring freedom to the Iraqis while thwarting Iranian ambitions. Accept it.

Please! Did the Democrats fire the entire Iraqi army? Did the Democrats go into Iraq with ZERO plans for the occupation? Did the Democrats come up with the great idea to push all the reconstruction contracts to their cronies, all while denying local Iraqis a chance to share in that wealth and rebuild through trickle down economics? (all you Repubs should have loved that) Wake up. This war (which I was for originally, if only to get Sadaam) is a big farce, all made to pump oil profits by lessening (that's right, not increasing, as we were told before the war) supply through instigated attacks on the pipeline and market uncertaintly. It also feeds the military-industrial complex (which a Republican president pointed out we should fear, by the way) at the expense of both the Iraqi and US taxpayer. You've been cheated, stop lying to yourself and us and admit you were wrong -- I have. It kills me how every time some bad news comes out about the war, the yes men all blame the Democrats.

Wake up. This war (which I was for originally, if only to get Sadaam) is a big farce, all made to pump oil profits by lessening (that’s right, not increasing, as we were told before the war) supply through instigated attacks on the pipeline and market uncertaintly.
