Similar facile reasoning by the Bush administration is now going on with respect to Israel and Lebanon. The naive assumption that Israel could surgically crush Hezbollah in two weeks and then force an advantageous peace looks like it was as misplaced as the "Mission Accomplished" nonsense was in Iraq. In the eyes of most of the world the USA looks cynical and blustering again while we support the massacre of innocent civilians in Lebanon. The only winners are the Iranians. Why do we keep handing these guys victories on a plate? It isn't to our advantage that 90% of the world thinks we're bullying monsters.<BR/><BR/>Keep writing. You're an excellent voice of reason on this blog.<BR/><BR/>TexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1154281993237821002006-07-30T10:53:00.000-07:002006-07-30T10:53:00.000-07:00It is really unbelievable what passes for thought ...It is really unbelievable what passes for thought and analysis of the terrorist threat on this blog. Although Bill O'Reilly and most responders on Bill's blog would like to pretend Iraq has disappeared, it remains an in your face example of the limits of war and military power to deal _by itself_ with the terrorist threat in the world. And I say this even if this wrong war, wrong objectives, wrong time initiative had been led by a competent administration and staff. <BR/>We're stuck off of the eastern Meditereanean without a paddle, vulnerable and useless in the middle east because of the failure and quagmire and ill feeling created by Iraq. Cries of war, war, war from us have about as much credence as policy as the stuff spouted by terrorists around the world.gary dailyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649278809690706179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1154232879895686002006-07-29T21:14:00.000-07:002006-07-29T21:14:00.000-07:00Reading this makes me VERY afraid that the dems wi...Reading this makes me VERY afraid that the dems will make gains this coming election. soros – being the preeminent liberal financier – will surely have a place setting with the dems.<BR/><BR/>DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1154209465675298732006-07-29T14:44:00.000-07:002006-07-29T14:44:00.000-07:00Maybe the Mafia can be bought off, too.

It's amazing that she can make these comments when the Bush Iraq strategy is playing out so nicely. She needs to start rejoicing in the innocent lives that are being lost in Iraq in Lebanon, the same way Bill and the pom-poms do. Come on Bill, it must be time for one of your "beacon of democracy" diatribes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1154146757747963572006-07-28T21:19:00.000-07:002006-07-28T21:19:00.000-07:00LOVE THE CARTOON!!

Why are they always talking about pouring more $$ into a broken system when there are already too many $$ sinkholes? Are they just plain stuck on ignorant? I'm sorry to use that word (my mother always disliked it) but what is the problem here?<BR/><BR/>Why aren't they realizing who the bad guys are -- T E R R O R I S T S. There's no way to take away terrorists' motivation because they are willing to die to gain world superiority in the long term and some virgins in paradise in the short term. <BR/><BR/>This is just plain ridiculous. You like the poor terrorists? Then you go talk to them. See how long they listen. You go live in those poor countrys if you dislike (hate?) America so much. All of the liberals should get together and move to a poor country and change it for the better with their liberal ideas -- that will prove they are right. And I'll eat my words. <BR/><BR/>But they won't leave the land of plenty, the land of promise, the land of the greatest opportunities & freedoms in the world. They just sit around and complain, hate and bite the hand that feeds them.<BR/><BR/>I thank God that we have military might because these people with their liberal ideas would have US sitting around singing kumbaya just before we got our heads chopped off and our land overrun.<BR/><BR/>Dori<BR/><BR/>P.S. Notice I never say the U.S.A. is perfect and is always right -- I am not blind to our imperfections as a nation. But we don't go around murdering and stealing in the name of our God. We go around and give $$ and aid and more $$ and aid and then more $$ and aid. Stop hating prosperity and technological advancements -- they have their place in this age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
