I think this is something they've learned by watching the various conservative pundits engage in one sided debates on their programs.

Take one little item of little value and make it the rise above everything else. Keep the sheep focused on what's not important...

I see it all the time.

Or we could compare it to the routine regularly practiced by the other side of the spectrum. When faced with pointed questions whose answer would reveal the true partisan hypocrisy: Evade, attack, duck and cover.

We carry on in the guise of democracy, patriotism, and God though many people believe otherwise.

All wars and uprisings have war crimes within them.... its part of the nature of wars.

We are all guilty by relation to some degree.... all humans globally.

Intersting perception considering it isn't the US who is currently involved in almost every armed conflict on the face of the earth. Guess who is.

In your opinion, is Bush going out of his way to commit war crimes? This what we are asking you. But you wont answer this simple question.

Is Bush going out of his way to commit war crimes? Yes or No

Why wont you answer this?

What took you so long? I`m too old for homework....you give me the proof that he is`nt since you insisted on my answer.

Even though he is only a figurehead for the power group he is still the President and ultimately responsible.


Let`s hear it kind sir.

Again, you wont answer a simple question.

Because you have no proof of any war crimes Bush has comitted.

You are so avoiding this question, its quite funny.

Instead of answering my simple question of showing any proof of Bush and war crimes, like an 8 year old you try and turn the question around so you dont have to answer it.

Pathetic!

It was in reference to the whole charge Bush with War Crimes thing................but now that you mention it; If only we could focus all that outrage at the people who actually are harming our troops. I know, I know, Bush is the true enemy yada yada yada, We hear the same crap all the time from Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong, Al Queda and Al Jazeera. It's real old. Done with this.

So you think Skitterpop is on the same side as Iran and Bin Laden?

That's pretty perverted.

And it's really missing the point. Bush isn't the enemy but to defeat terrorisim we need to win by example. The real secret weapon we can employ is to reinforce globally what's made America great. On this front Bush doesn't have a clue.

I suppose it could be considered perverted thinking if it ever actually occured.

But they probably do get a comfortable little smile on their face when they hear and read some of the crap the Left puts out in this country.

Not sure why you waste your valuable brain time on stuff like this.

You don't think Bin Laden was praising Allah when Bush invaded Iraq?

You don't think Bin Laden wasn't dancing around his cave when is was clear there was no WMD?

You don't think Bin Laden doesn't &$^#%CENSORED&$^$ his AK-47 every day when Iraqi violence seems to keep increasing up, and up and up...

The new (and non liberal) Iraq Group Report has had the displeasure of reporting to the American people that the "drive by media" has actually be dramatically under reporting violence in Iraq because of how the US Government has been skewing statistics.

It would seem as though reality is our own worst enemy.

Spin and counter-spin. The really crappy thing about wars is they never go the way you would like. Maybe Bin Laden has won some battles as you love to point out but so have we. No doubt his greatest victory would be the American People charging their own President with War Crimes. Couple that with running away from a fight with Al Queda (yes Al Queda is in Iraq) and.......use your imagination from there.

Of course, that's why you're supposed to have contingency plans!

Not the "let's assume the worst case" to get us in and then "assume the best case" once we're there.

We've has some tactical wins but little in the way of strategic wins against global terrorisim. If Bush was charged with war crimes or impeached Bin Laden wouldn't see it as a victory against the West, it would simply be confirmation of his beliefs that our leadership is corrupt.

And that's the rub. To hide what most around the world believe as unethical at best, or illegal at worst in the name of patriotisim is a serious compromise to the same moral superiority we claim to be standing up for in the middle east.

Try as you may to cast this aside as partisanship, but in doing so you're separating yourself from the values of classical liberalisim that in the hands of nearly free men gave birth to the Declaration of Independence and the US Constiturion.
