So 6+ years after the start of the Iraq War, and we know the following things...

- 4,000 dead US Troops and tens of thousands wounded
- Hundreds of billions of dollars that we will be paying for for generations
- Our country's image and relationships around the world damaged beyond anyone's imagination

And the kicker - The people responsible for attacking us 7 years ago are still free!

What I can't wrap my head around is that not only is the republican party not trying to downplay it, they are actually campaigning on it... and wait... IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING!?!?!?!?!?

Can anyone explain this to me?????

    It's all part of the fear mongering that Rove and his sick buddies started after 9/11 to justify their radical vision of a new Middle East. Rest assured that John McCain will keep us safe from those evil Muslims. :rolleyes:

    apparently the troops in Iraq are on "a task from God"....so no need to question God...

    Mental disease...

    paranoia and fear combined presents a very potent mindfuck.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Reminds me of the country singer on the Simpsons singing "If you don't buy my record, then Al-Qaeda wins!" and Homer buying a bunch of his albums, chanting: "USA! USA!"
