Reply #73: So he makes his bed and lies in it

Here he takes company squarely on the side of the invasion and occupation, lamenting only that it has not had more "success" (a ghastly vision, when stripped of all deception and pretty packaging). The sheep's clothing may serve to shut some of "us" up from time to time and expect what there is no reason to expect. Basic decency is out of the question?--If this is the best that can be mustered up, then a more pressing matter than "one or the other" makes itself obvious.
