here is what i am compelled to say ->
[a] you are right about your facts -and all that… you said and quoted the history et all..

[b] while 2 wrongs seldom make it right.. there are instances when even two facts – dont sum up to being *right*.

we shouldn’t extract – *values from facts* – values – later packed up as ideologies – supporting a *point-of-view*.

your calling the anit-war-doves aka peacenicks aka loony left = MYOPIC is not just unfair but also wrong

well, your title said – know your enemy .. and the time was BUSH .. and the question was -> is bush = right or bush = wrong

now this is 2009 and i think the values and the facts are:

[a] america = democracy

[b] democracy = voting

[c] one vote = 1 point regardless of if you are a banker or a baker.. and

the Americans = talk of the bottom line

so here is the results/bottom lime in ‘09:

people voted -> BUSH = not-just-wrong-but-also-AWOL

cheers
Olga Shulman Lednichenko

OLGA = Russian + Girl
Shulman – like most names ending with … man = Jewish
Lednichenko = Russian of an eclectic sort

It should probably tell something when you see that the ringleaders in last week’s attempted terrorist attacks in London were doctors. According to Sky News (via LGF), at least five of the arrested suspects are doctors!

Speaking as a Republican who opposed the war before it began, you are right on the money. But that’s why Bookworm singled out the anti-war liberals, rather than talking about all of us who opposed the war. Only the anti-war liberals are claiming that pulling out of Iraq (and generally being nicer to those who have sworn to kill us) will solve all of our problems. The rest of us know better, our opposition to the war notwithstanding.

By attacking only the anti-war liberals, not all of us who opposed the war, Bookworm is avoiding the “intellectual dishonesty” trap that you rightly state one could fall into here. View in that light, I’d be interested in your thought on the substantive point Bookworm is making.

The crowds always loved the winner, and Americans definitely like military themed stuff now a days. Hugo had a good idea trying to appear militant, the crowd loves folks in uniform, even if Hugo wasn’t actually in the military when he wore that uniform.

The President’s suites are always so bland and conservative, nice for DC and the rat race there, but very unintimidating for military operations. Bush has got to ramp up the intimidation factor, and his polls will go up.

Now that 70% of Americans want us out of Iraq, and anti-war sentiment is rising within the GOP, it’s intellectually dishonest to frame anti-war sentiment as the province of “antiwar liberals.”

Such talk sure does fire up the 30% of Americans who still back the war, however.
