In reply to the discussion: Bush's illegal Iraq invasion. How does it compare to a drone strike? [View all]rhett o rick
(55,981 posts)51. OMG, what have you done? You've branded him an, an "apologist".
"You are now an apologist for Bush's Iraq war."
Is that code for "you disagree with me and must be dealt with hereto."?
Seems that when we run out of decent argument, we start the name calling and "apologist" is the new pejorative.
Whether or not the Iraq War was "legal" is contentious. I happen to believe that it was illegal but I certainly dont think I am in a position to declare that those that dont agree with me are war apologists. Seems to me that you are trying to shut off argument with ridicule.

Aw, don't you worry about it. Obama let Bush get away with his illegal war.

No. You dodge, deflect and ignore the issues. Best of luck to you and your agenda.
