Reply #7: I can say that easily!!!

I'm not demonizing the troops. They are not conscripts. Most of them are in it for the benifits and getting a decent job, not "patriotism." That's what I call a mercenary.

This "I'm against the war but support the troops" sentiment is just a bunch of crap! Sorry...remember the statement: "What if somebody threw a war and nobody showed up?" Bush didn't raise their right hands for them. Bush didn't make them burn the city of Fallujah. Bush didn't make them rape innocent Iraqi women and kill innocent Iraqi children. Bush didn't fly their bombers with Rockeye bomblets. Bush didn't do any of that. Yes the war is fraudulent and criminal, but war criminals are individuals. The Nuremburg trials proved that. Is the hit man guilty, or just the person who put out the contract?

After 8 years of the last republican president, bubba, you can't even say they were fooled. They knew going in they were going to be deployed.

Or are you defending the young officers who sold their souls to the government to get that college degree? Maybe they are the innocent ones.

No, when you have the b@lls to recognize a baby killer as a baby killer, then maybe you can make some progress. Yes, hold the fascisti criminally liable, but the individual baathists should not escape without repercussions, as well.
