Only a dumbass would believe our safety depends on victory in Iraq

That's the question on washington journal on cspan this morn, does our safety depend on Iraq?

Only an idiot would actually believe it.

1. Totally in agreement

2. Your subject line sums up my opinion

We've done nothing in Iraq that has or will make us safer. On the contrary, we've given the Iraqis thousands of reasons and a fucking open door to join groups like al Qaeda for many, many years to come. And some WILL seek revenge for what we've done to them and their country. They've already started. Or does anyone think all 2671 American deaths over there were accidents??

And let me point something else out for the dumbasses in the crowd: if foreign terrorists can get in to Iraq, vengeful Iraqis can get out.

3. True, but the neocons are getting crazier and crazier

To think that civilization depends on destroying a poor country which was no threat is absurd. They are using another crazy line, the one that says that if we leave Iraq, terrorists will follow us home. What, they don't know where we live unless they follow us there? They're going to give up their religious differences, and fighting each other, and all come to America?

Also, it doesn't seem to occur to Dubya that staying in Iraq will prevent any person intent on harming us from doing so while we are still in Iraq. They can't multi-task, they can't fight us there, and bring destruction to us here at the same time. Their main objective in fighting us in Iraq is to get us the hell out of there. The longer we stay, the worse it becomes.

The damage done to us by the illegal invasion of Iraq will only intensify with every day we stay, and every Iraqi who is killed. What our safety depends on is getting Republicans out of power, and trying to repair the massive damage they have done.

4. Only dumbasses believed our safety depended on victory in Vietnam, too...

...but, unfortunately, it seems the beliefs of "only the dumbasses" seem to count for a lot in America.

5. When Bush* said that last night I could only laugh.

Trying to equate his war of choice to world war 2. Fuck off george.

6. Agreed. What does Iraq have to do with anything?

There are a lot of idiots out there who think our safety depends on victory in Iraq. Morons, Iraq couldn't invade anybody. Never could, never will.
