http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2960350/postsThis was the dumbest military move since Custer decided to pimp with a few Indians. I dont know how any of those people can look in a mirror.
Oh, we couldnt do that. Remember? Bush said the oil belonged to the Iraqi people. I guess he was too damned dumb to see it was paid for with American blood. I hate that damned deceiver.
I so regret supporting that G**-damned war there.
Thank Dubya. It was his great idea to nation build in that cesspool.
How many American lives did we waste for these idiots?
All those wasted lives,,,and money. And what did it get us? A new ally for Iran. I was an idiot for supporting this fiasco, too.
So much for the lame "we have to give a presidency decades to see how it turns out" bullshit.

We know that unless one does the RimJob lockstep(goosestep?) over there the jackboot of Freeperism lands on one's neck.

(116,464 posts)Republicans are trying to shift focus from the fact that they supported Romney. They're trying to look reasonable.
Michael Reagan (son of Ronald): "...its time for Republicans to start blaming George W."

Suck it Republicans! You own Bush, McCain, Palin and Mitt, who aspired to be worse than Bush.

(126,616 posts)for the 8 years under Shrub. They sat back while Darth manufactured war after war and raided the treasury and dared them to complain (which they didn't) - all in the name of upholding the oft-promoted "11th Commandment" that Raygun always cited -
That has been about as bad as Norquist's "no taxes pledge" and has been around for almost 45 years, and they are apparently not even "grieving" to each other in private either.

Rationality will never break out over there, it will forever be two groups of irrational people yelling at one another.

(12,939 posts)The Green Manalishi
(1,054 posts)The Libertarian wing and social conservatives, AKA Christofascists.
Sometimes they energize each other, sometimes they fight each other.
At FR the libertarians usually have to keep quiet about abortion and often get attacked over being anti imperialist.
The fundamental divide is around 'can government be good - for anything- or is it inherently evil and thus the smaller the better.
The libertarians have a point in that, left or right, a big percentage of people who get elected turn corrupt, it's just the nature of power. The social conservatives want to use the power of the state to enforce a Christian and capitalist ethos on everyone.
When the two wings work together, the pubbies can be a potent force indeed, but the smaller faster nature of interactions around the world make it less and less likely, one idiot like Huckabee can undo a lot of goodwill, thankfully.

(44,173 posts)I have long since passed the point at which I will accept apologies from people who supported that bullshit clusterfuck.
I opposed that war before it started.
I am fucking vindicated.
