Papa, all I can say is that your zealotry truly astounds me.

There are a lot of people making money off of what's happening in this administration

Why is it that everytime anyone tries to have a logical discussion about Iraq with a right winger, they are labled a "terrorist supporter"? I'd have more respect for the right if they just replied with, "I know you are but what am I?"

what's your definition of zealotry, kjklo?

[Elphaba]

Posted: 1/15/07 at 10:14am

"Please have your own views. Disagree with President all you would like, but how about a credible position that does not agree with the terrorists."


how ridiculous that sounds...Translation" Please have your own view.....as long as it agrees with mine. Ah, the repig mantra....

Matt--just ignore HDThoreau2.

He's the poster formerly known as Chanticleer. He's not a real conservative--just a sock puppet created by a bored playwright-wannabe out of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh soundbites.

The goal is to annoy you. We all ignore him, even PapaLovesMambo.

"pj, you're not going to change my mind and i'm not going to change yours. i do believe that going into iraq was the right thing to do."

actually going to Iran would have been the smart thing to do. All we've done by going to Iraq is kill many Americans, Iraqis, Sadaam, and feed into Irans position in the region.
We've f***ed-up bigtime.

I think of a zealot as a "true believer" type. A warrior-like soul who embraces his positions fervently and never, ever gives them up, even when conditions would suggest they're no longer realistic.

PJ: still the same old retread...

Who is Chanticleer?

why does Chanti always ask "who is Chanti" when we figure out it's him? lol

Why is it that everytime anyone tries to have a logical discussion about Irag with a right winger, they are labled a "terrorist supporter"?


Because you are on the side of the terrorists. Do you ever read and hear what they are saying? they are thrilled with the democrat victory. They even claimed credit for it.

Also, you share the same position with AL Qaeda and all the many terrorists in Iraq: America should get out now. I know this TRUTH is inconvenient. I'm very sorry about that.

Matt, don't feed the animals...especially THAT animal.

I can respect the other sides opinion, but when they disappear after their loss, like rats jumping off a sinking ship.....and suddenly re-appear 2 months later under yet ANOTHER screenname, I respect nothing.

And what is truly funny, is that they just don't get that all it takes is maybe two or three posts, and we all know exactly who it is.......

Your own fantasies are that funny to you?

I love it when people crack themselves up.

"Who is Chanticleer?"

Please! Didn't Chanticleer direct a play about Thoreau last year? Now here you come with a very suspicious username. What are we supposed to think?

HDT2, to paraphrase the critic John Simon, the only time I "share the same position" with Al Qaeda is when I'm sitting on a toilet.

nah, elphie. iran's too nationalistic and we've got too much history with them for it to have worked. iraq was the only place we could go into without it turning into all-out open warfare between the islamic world and the west, well, not the west, just us. nobody really was gonna miss saddam. nobody was going to stand up and fight for him (i mean outside of his family and the baathists, and yeah that includes syria, but they still didn't launch an open war). iraq was the only place that a change had a chance of working. i say that completely acknowledging iraq's fractious history as a patch-work country.

afghanistan's a pile of rocks tended to by maniacs only just barely far enough removed from the middle ages to acknowledge that guns are more effective than rocks, always was. nothing was going to be changed there. they had to get pounded but the best we were gonna be able to do there was to knock the taliban out of power, kill a whole pisspot full of them and deny them a sanctuary in which to openly train and a base from which to launch attacks freely.

Anyone who favors bringing the troops home now is in total agreement with the terrorists. (I know its inconvenient, but it is still true!)

Any person who opposes George bush's new strategy in Iraq has the terrorists in their corner.

there are several posts from last night where Chantipoo declares the war immoral & demands the troops be brought home.

[kjklo]

Posted: 1/15/07 at 10:51am

Papa, the problem is that we haven't completely denied them a sanctuary in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. They're still there. The US lost focus on finishing that job when it went off on the Iraq tangent.

[HDThoreau2]

Posted: 1/15/07 at 10:55am

That's one of the greatest propaganda tools in the democrat arsenal.

You act as if there are no troops in Afghanistan. Please.

"iraq was the only place we could go into without it turning into all-out open warfare between the islamic world and the west, well, not the west, just us"

And then, as an un-wise man once said, "The opposite happened."

Bush on 60 Minutes last night:

"You know better than I do that many Americans feel that your administration has not been straight with the country, has not been honest. To those people you say what?" Scott Pelley asks.

"On what issue?" the president replies. "Like the weapons of mass destruction?"

"No weapons of mass destruction," Pelley says.

"Yeah," Bush says.

"No credible connection between 9/11 and Iraq," Pelley says.

“Yeah,” the president replies.

“The Office of Management and Budget said this war would cost somewhere between $50 billion and $60 billion and now we're over 400,” Pelley says.

“I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha,” Bush replies.

“The perception, Sir, more than any one of those points, is that the administration has not been straight with…,” Pelley says.

“Well, I strongly disagree with that, of course,” Bush says. “So I strongly reject that this administration hasn’t been straight with the American people. The minute we found out they didn’t have weapons of mass destruction, I was the first to say so.”
