I'm sorry if you have zero respect for me and while I wouldn't mind sitting down over a beer or wetting a line, I'm not a fan of your dependent thinking at times.
Bush a true war criminal? IN the sense of Hitler, Milosovich, Saddam and those guys? Abosolutely not. That was a poor choice of words for me (I'm no wordsmith, I guess I'm in good company, but I don't have speechwiters). What I should have said is that the Bush Administration is "criminally negligent" with respect of OUR warriors in the prosecution of the IRAQ war - how's that? In my opinion, and probably the better way I should have written it, I put him inline with the folks that managed the Vietnam war, politically pulling military strings. The lessons learned from Vietnam were supposed to limit or prevent political bungling and mis-support and under-support of our troops. THAT is what pisses me off most with this administration. Trying to do the war on the cheap and believing a model of hugs & kisses liberation has cost a lot of lives. It's the mismanagement that gets me. Maybe I am naieve in my thinking that the government would learn from its mistakes but I remember some of the mantra of the military in the 80s and 90s training to do the job right and asking (praying) the civilian leadership would do the right thing too. Regan had some, Bush #I seemed to get it, Clinton was even money but this current group, I just don't know... I have a hard time thinking that a John McCain administration or someone similar and more of a leader than this guy would assemble a comparable "team" and make similar mistakes. I wish the bumper stickers read "So glad I voted for McCain". I think our country would be in a much better position in the world than it is today.
That is my opinion, not that he is a war criminal in the sense of a Sadaam (who did need to go) or a Hitler. You want to see what Sadaam, Milosovic, Hitler people are, go to places like Dachau - I've been there and seen it and it is abhorrent. So poor choice of words on my part to say what I'm trying to say.
Cindy Sheehan I am not. I did not lose a relative, especially a son in this war and nor do I think she is smart hanging out with Che G ver 2. Or that her politics are rational in many cases. I feel very sorry in that she has lost her son in the service of our country. She has every right to speek out and she can run for political office or whatever she is talking about, I still wouldn't vote for her...
