re: #124 Lidane

Afghanistan made sense. The Taliban were shielding Osama bin Laden and the AQ leadership, who attacked us. I get that, and I supported that war.

Iraq was total bullshit from top to bottom, and nothing will ever justify it in my mind. We were lied to from the start, and a big part of the huge deficits that conservatives are bitching about now come DIRECTLY from this clusterfuck of a revenge fantasy that Dubya led us into.

Those weapons were never going to be there. Ever. It was all a lie from the word go to gin up a fake war. I can’t believe that anyone thought those weapons would legitimately be there.

Again — I don’t get any pleasure out of the fact that the anti-war argument was the correct one. But still, I can’t understand how anyone fell for that bullshit in the first place.

Concur with everything. I still hold a bitter thread though, of being called a traitor by the fooled.
