ORIGINAL: seeksfemslave The fact that the Man in White had had no military experience in Iraq doesn't invalidate his views or take away his right to comment. If that line of thought were so, for example only those who had committed murder would be entitled to a view on the subject. Were he a military man, had avoided going to Iraq and then supported the War, the point being made in this thread would be valid. As far as we know he isn't so it aint. I think that if you *really* support The President and The War, and you *don't* respond to his call for service, then you DON'T *really* support The President and/or The War, you are just another Neocon Party Whore who jumped on the bandwagon because it looked like a fun ride, and you got to beat up on "Libs". But, you know, I'm a "Law and Order, Fiscal Responsibility, TRADITIONAL Conservative", who has *always* hated Bush, because I've always recognized he is at BEST a Socialist. Fargle, just curious. Do you support the war in Afghanistan? No. Now, if you asked, "Would I support violating Afghanistan's sovereign borders to pick up Bin-Ladin, after Afghanistan refused to pick him up?" That would be different, and I could understand it being covered under the doctrine of "Hot Pursuit". Of course, you'd have to deliver him to a Court after he's in custody. Now, Assuming the GOVERNMENT of Afghanistan was a threat, I *could have* gotten behind the landing of the Marines on one border, and them marching to the opposite border, removing the extant government, secure in the knowledge that after they returned home, *should* the successor gov't be a threat to the United States, we could do it again at any time.
