A Response To: Fighting the real enemy (Joe Scarborough)

Editorial Link: Here

The answer is without George Bush we wouldn't be in this war in Iraq. Damn you can be simple.

Where is the moral clarity in the invasion of Iraq?

What planet are you living on?

You cannot confuse the moral clarity of our soldiers defending themselves with the complete lack of clarity with respect to the reasoning behind why they are in Iraq in the first place. You cannot set the fire and then be indignant when others don't see the clarity in sacrificing fire fighters for the fire you set.

I am soldier who served proudly in Afghanistan and spend every day hoping the next letter in my mailbox isn't one sending me to Iraq. Something I'm sure you will never experience. And, I can tell you that virtually all of Clinton's wars and strikes were fought at every step by the non-nation-building types who now cannot find an instance of cognitive dissonance that they won't use to try and justify this massive cluster-fuck of nation-building. (How pathetic is it that after 4 years of Bush and Republican control, you still reach back to Clinton to assign blame?)

It never ceases to amaze and sadden me how easily you chicken-hawks send others to their peril for YOUR moral righteousness. Besides putting a magnet on your car and telling everyone who will listen just how much you support the troops, what have you sacrificed for this war on terror? (Not that Iraq has ANYTHING to do with it; except for the fact that its a recruiting poster for our enemies.)

Democracy must EVOLVE, it cannot be forced upon anyone unless you commit overwhelming force and completely subjugate them - consequently, in the process, throwing all moral authority out of the window. Can you say hypocrite? And, even if you buy into this dubious manifest destiny BS...guess what we DIDN'T do? Oh, that's right, they fired the General who told them they needed troops to secure the peace and ignored the Secretary of State, the only one in the cabinet with any combat experience.

Your endless support of the continuous lapses in judgment by our President and his staff lead me to only one conclusion: your judgment is piss poor too.

I find it even more interesting that editorials of similar tone and subject are making appearances on other "conservative" blogs and websites. From where do these people get their marching orders? Seriously. Either they are incapable of an original thought, or someone is egging them on. Simple is as simple does I suppose. They remind of the monks from Monty Python's Holy Grail that chant and beat themselves over the head with boards.
