    Another Iraqi war discussion

    I'm sure one of our veteran debaters has a name for this type reasoning. I'll call it a false choice. Surrendering, IMHO implies giving up a fight. The purpose of the threats made to Saddam dealt totally with the issue of WMDs. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If the inspections had been...

    Thank God for the Surge!

    Thank the good Lord for giving our Commander in Chief guidance - otherwise this could be much worse! Any day now the surge in American troops will yield results and our President will be proven the greatest liberator of the middle east - Dubya of Arabia. ;)

    Just not THIS Iraqi neighborhood!

    Why are those Iraqi insurgents so damn intent on adversely affecting a Republican candidate's chances in 2008? Why do they hate John McCain so much? You know if McCain hadn't been so smug about his assertions that "things are getting better," it would be a lot easier to let him off the hook...
