REPUBLICANS: 9/11 Was EVEN A SMALLER Price than the what we are paying in Iraq
Republicans TRULY DON'T understand terrorism or what really happened on 9/11 and should in no way be making decisions about Iraq. They think that 2,974 people killed is a small price to pay in the "War On Terror". After all, Boener just came out and said, live on CNN that the "investment" we've made in Iraq, over 3700 soldiers, 1 MILLION IRAQI CIVILIANS and $750 BILLION, is a "small price to pay". I can guarantee you this is a GOP Talking Point to get people to go along with Bush's War and STAY THE COURSE. That's really all they have at this point. STAY THE COURSE. They know nothing about the price Americans, Iraqi's or the people of the world have paid for Bush's War. STAY THE COURSE. They don't care. They want to line their pockets and the pockets of their buddies at Haliburton, Blackwater, and Exxon while our soldiers die. STAY THE COURSE. That's all they have. That's ALL they HAVE. It's time to SHUT THEM DOWN. Republicans need to just SHUT THE HELL UP. Use Boener's words against EVERY REPUBLICAN who tries to justify Iraq. It will shut them up in a hurry.

2. Conservative are Worst people to consult on war matters.
They have two fatal flaws which, when freed from the rule of law and ethical constraints of people with healthy consciences, pretty much assures wars and fascism.

1) Phobias -- xenophobia bordering on panaphobia.

2) Authoritarian tendencies -- and because of #1 they need someone they can look up (worship) and protect (manipulate) them.

They operate out of fear and their reactions are a reflexive function of a primitive part of the brain: a very dangerous combination to have commanding a military.
