So the fact that no one was shot down washes away the fact that an act of war was perpetrated against the U.S.? In YOUR mind maybe, but not in that of the families of the servicemen (who you in the past have claimed such close connection with).

You also forget the reason we were there, at the request of the U.N., enforcing the sanctions imposed, after Saddam invaded Kuwait. But hey, go ahead an re-write history to suit your Bush conspiracy theory.

Your point was that we were not attacked; you were incorrect. You continue to make my earlier point about 48% of voters.

Yeah, Saddam has been attacking our airmen for the last decade, and we did nothing about it.

O.K. 52% of the country are relionist, right-wing nuts. I guess that makes the other 48% whacked-out free-loading commies.

this is just more of the propaganda war that the Bush Crime Family is fighting against America, first they paint themselves up like Pat Robertson and buy the votes of the christians, then they create a war in order to get reelected as a "war president" convincing the religionists that a vote for Bush is a vote in support of our troops, they now compare the failed war in Iraq
to the victories of WWII to further sway their right wing nuts.
I am a Veteran and I can tell you that no real veteran supports
a president that puts his re election above our lives.

Lebanon's Cedar Revolution ... Like Anti-Vietnam War Protests?
Captain Ed has some interesting commentary on the NYT's coverage of the government overthrow / resignation in Beirut:

Instead of explaining how the Iraqi elections set the stage for the wave of demands for democratization in the Arab world, the Tim...
