#1 There actually was a very long term reason to hold Iraq. But like everything that was correct, you parroted against it.

There was a BIG reason I wanted Iraq stable, and not fake stable.

You fought against it every step in Combat, every time.

FU too.
Tell your media buddies, they sunk the earth and they can rest now. Evil fucks

#5 What? No comment about the beheaded photo journalist by the great 'if I cannot find the news I will make up the news' Dan Rather. I think it might be better for America if you volunteered to keep your lying liberal diarrhea mouth closed.

#7 ...Mr ~~I fell for the fake Bush~~ letter Rather does remember that we have an all volunteer military these days, right? And that you can't force anyone to go, right?

Just checkin', Kenneth.

#9 It's not parents who "send their kids" to war.
Those "kids" are young adult responsible men who decide on their own free will to join the military and serve the United States of America.

#11 It's not parents who "send their kids" to war

It's hard to change when you're welded to the 1967 playbook.

#12 How do you call someone who forged official documents in order to steal an election?

#15 Dan, it's not 1969 anymore. I hate the old fossilized libraries like him.

#16 Dan Rather is still around? Why would anyone listen to him?

#17 When asked if you would rather or not, the answer is not.

#18 Now that there is no draft to galvanize against war this is the new line I expect to hear again and again because it makes it *sounds* as if folks are just ordering other peoples children into a meatgrinder.

#20 The stupidity is in his tacit assumption that if we don't intervene then nothing bad happens to us. Dan Rather, you ignorant ass, ISIS has different plans.

#21 ISIS is easy. No need to argue listen. Just kill them.

They are the Khmer Rouge of Islamism

#22 One quibble, EC.

By comparison, I think these clowns give evil bastards like the Khmer Rough a bad name.

#23 ISIS appears to like doing their killing on the spot instead of in camps, but other than that...
