"Most paleocons" didn't support the Afghan war? Huh? Who are these "paleocons"? Hanson, like so many others on left & right, cheerfully pulls this stuff out of his ass. Mark me down for one moonbat who thinks we were, if anything, too slow to land in Afghanistan, and who thinks that had we not been conducting that war with an eye to Iraq, we might very well have come out with Osama's head on a stick. See this ObWi post & link for some heartbreaking stuff on Rumsfeld's mismanagement of one Afghan op.

um, actually the title should read, 'Conse-quences of starting the war in Iraq' which proves that modern wars are population-control schemes. The audacity and sheer heinousness of an inter-pretation of the acronymn SUNY to be, instead, the name of the 'Sunnis' in Iraq, must rank as the worst example of telephone call-demand methodologistics that has yet to be instigated.

Robert -- perhaps those that support the war honor the dead upon their return instead of sensationalize them.

The only way you can complain is if you are compairing it to a cartoon war where no one dies and nobody is inconvenienced.

And the inconvenience to the average American is what again?

Isn't it those that support this war that don't want any inconvenience for Americans?

When will they allow Americans to see the flag-draped caskets of our soldiers coming back to America?
C'mon, its only 3.2% of the casualties we saw in Viet Nam!!

Where are the scrap metal drives?

Just maybe, it's those that support this war that don't want America to be inconvenienced.

"The war going badly"!? Compaired to what ?!

We have setup two Democracies 3 times faster than Japan and Germany. The Afghanis kicked the Russian's a**. We succeeded. We have suffered 3.2% the casualties we had in Vietnam.

This war is going better than any war we ever fought.

The only way you can complain is if you are compairing it to a cartoon war where no one dies and nobody is inconvenienced.

All this complaining is evidence why left-wing, American hating Democrats cannot be trusted with foreign policy.

Who are the "many" on the left who opposed action in Afghanistan? I campaigned for Howard Dean and I did not meet many of them. The attempt to link opposition to the war in Iraq to almost non-existant opposition to going after terrorists in Afghanistan is almost as lame of a bait & switch as the rebranding of the war in Iraq. (Its all about WMD, oh wait, no, its all about democracy).

Sadly, many lap us this "if you disagree with us, you must be a terrorist sym" crap.

Unfortunately the lunatic fringe does want us to lose. Fortunately, they are only the lunatic fringe.

So it turns out that all the slogans of the anti-war movement were right after all. And their demands were just. "No War on Iraq," they said âand there wasn't a war on Iraq. Indeed, there was barely a "war" at all.

Wow. Three and a half hours and still no howling moonbats. Have they been deprived of their computer privileges today? Did someone sneak a plastic knife into the institution?
