Go Ahead and Support the Murderer

To all you people loving libs, where is your compassion for these people. What you have compassion but don't want to act? And where was you criticism of the unsupported occupation of Kosovo led by Clinton? What ? You supported it? Why? What threat to us were they? They didn't attack us either.

Your argument is childish at best, foolish at worst. Are you implying that because Clinton led a war against a country that posed no threat (Kosovo), its ok for Bush too do the same? If you are, you've just admitted that Iraq posed no threat. You've also just favorably compared Clinton and Bush, something I'm almost positive you didn't mean too do. It might be wise for you to revise your statements. Nevermind that Kosovo is not even in the same ballpark as the Iraqi War in terms of the conflict's scope and magnitude (at least from the American view point). Or that it is completely off the subject.

But, too answer your questions: I have compassion for the Iraqi people. My compassion for them has nothing too do with my opposition to the war. You've confused two separate issues. I didn't support the war in Kosovo for many of the same reasons I don't support the war in Iraq. No, they weren't a threat to us. You're right, they didn't attack us. Much like Iraq didn't attack us.

So, now we have to invade Sudan, North Korea, Ethiopia, Iran, and every other country where people suffer indignations...the Bush Doctrine.

Clinton did it to redirect media attention from his follies. Bush's argument changes daily as to why he did it.

Nice reply

CoBamafan,
If you did not support Kosovo then where were you and your minions protesting? You weren't because it did your party no good.
You also failed the test because you assume that I was against Kosovo where I was not. You also assume that I am childish as many of you leftist who feel the need to criticize the oppsition on everything they do. If you have read enough of my post I have given Clinton credit for several things and I have criticized Bush on many things. I do not tow the party line like you. I believe in what is best for the country first and not what is best for the Republican or Democratic Parties. Before you make accusations, you need to know who you are accusing.
I guess we should just stand by when our neighbor is being raped because it does not affect my family. I guess that we should allow Saddam to continue to support terrrorism financially and provide shelter for terrorist. I guess that we should allow Saddam to keep breaking the peace agreement. I guess we should allow Saddam to keep firing on our aircraft. I guess that even though there is bountiful evidence that Saddam and Al- Queda were linked we should just ignore it kind of like we ignored Hitler.
Displaced,
You know that I would support going into the Sudan. It is my principled belief to defend the helpless. It was a principle that I practiced all my life. I am not some tough guy but I did stand up to people who bullied others who could not defend themselves. Almost got shot one time before because of my that belief. I am not going to stand by and let someone be tortured when I have the ability to stop it. I could not feel good about myself as a Christian if I did.

My “minions” – you crack me up.

I assume the point you’re trying to make is that we (liberals, that is) should have protested the war in Kosovo as feverishly as we’ve protested the war in Iraq and, more importantly, that we did not protest the war in Kosovo because the US entered that conflict under the direction of a Democrat. But, unfortunately, you’re trying to compare apples and oranges. The conflict in Kosovo was, to most Americans anyway, minor and certainly not deserving of the sort of widespread protests we’ve seen against the war in Iraq (I’m not saying there were no protests against Kosovo, because, certainly, there were, but they were not widespread). Last time I checked you can disagree with a policy without protesting against it. I mean, not every single policy you disagree with is worthy of a protest, is it? To assume I didn’t protest the war in Kosovo because it did my party no good is a little naïve, don’t you think?

Failed what test? It was unimportant to me whether you were for or against the US getting involved in Kosovo. Honestly: I don’t care. What was important was that you essentially admitted that Iraq posed no threat and then tried to justify the war with the extremely childish argument “Well, Clinton did it.” That is what I found amusing.

Don’t sell yourself short: you tow the party line quite well. What we disagree on IS what is best for this country. I happen to believe that invading countries for suspect reasons is not good for anyone. Trust me: you should know more about who you’re accusing as well.

Well, I would say that your neighbor being raped does affect your family, but I never said we should do nothing. I said that opposing the war and being pro-Saddam is not the same thing. You, and many other conservatives, seem to have gotten that mixed up.

I was a Marine for six years and fought in the first Gulf War. Iraq should have been invaded then. After 9/11, the President had to make a choice to prevent 3000 more innocent Americans from being killed. Did he make a wrong choice, I don't know, I don't think anyone can answer that right now. I think he acted morally and ethically because I am sure he sent troops into harms way thinking he was trying to prevent another terrorist attack. Just like Clinton thought invading Kosovo was morally and ethically right to him. I personally feel the two psychotic sons sent the wmd to syria and when we invade syria we'll find it. And then hopefully Iran will be after that. As long as the war is being fought over there and not in New York city or any other American city the better. We all need to realize that politicians and politics won't solve or stop this war. Mother Green and her killing machine aka USMC combined with the Army, Air Force and squids, I mean, Navy will win this war. We will suffer casualties and there will be innocent people killed, that's why it is called war. But make no mistake, this war was forced on us and it will be fought either here or over there. I'd prefer over there.
