Reply #32: "how can you tell the last man to die in Iraq... [View All]

...that he died so I don't have to look bad politically?"

I take the position that an immediate and unconditional end to the occupation of Iraq-- and let's be honest, this was never a "war," but rather an act of unprovoked aggression and an illegal foreign occupation-- is not a "defeat" because the "war" is unwinnable. Withdrawing is no more than recognizing that continued aggression is simply not rational except within a PNAC context of permanent U.S. military domination of the Middle East. Is that the world we want? Is that what we want our president to do?

We're kicking Bush out of office for this crime, among others. Why are so many willing to accept it from Kerry, or any other occupant of the oval office for that matter? The day Kerry takes the oath of office he shoulders responsibility for EVERY subsequent death in Iraq. How's he going to explain to the family of the last soldier to die that it just wasn't politically expedient to stop committing Bush's crimes just yet?
