The totally insane justifications for continuing the war.

One that sickens me a lot is the old, "the best way to honor the fallen is to continue the war". It sounds like it was written by the high school pep club, and it falls flat on it's face and wont' pass the logic or smell test.

"Iraq will descend into civil war if we leave now", uh, excuse me?

"If we don't kill all the terrorists in Iraq they will follow us home". Uh, I went to grade school you stupid fucks.

"It would appease and encourage the 'enemy' if we pulled out". I'd say we've encouraged them plenty already.

"Israel would fall prey to Islamofascism", well big woop, they have nukes and weapons of mass destruction, they will be fine.

"America does not surrender", uh, surrender is when you drop your weapons and throw yourself at the mercy of your conquerer, and no one is going to do that.

"Pulling out of Iraq will de-stabilize the middle east", black is white, up is down.

They've run out of logical sounding reasons for staying the curse, so now they are just spouting totally unbelievable bullshit bumper sticker slogans to trick the tiny percentage of totally insane bush voters to tip the vote in their favor. Only the insane would swallow any of the increasingly ridiculous reasons for staying in Iraq.
