Bandit,

Have you always been an idiot or is it something new for you? If you check the service records for member of congress, you will see a lot of Democrats who have served, fought and shed blood for America. Can you say the same of GW and his minions? Or yourself, for that matter?

So his argument is that's its ok to turn Iraq into a killing field if it somehow makes us safer?

And the innocents that die in Iraq as a result of this? What of their right to life and the pursuit of happiness. Or is the senator's position that the life on someone in Iraq is of lower value then that of an American?
