Reply #10: McCain's toadying is [View All]

really too much to bear.

And does he really think that he can trust the neocons to keep any sort of deal? McCain/Bush, my ass. Hell will freeze over (frist) first.


...

Oh, and confusing the hell out of people about the actual terrorist threat, the "war on terror", the "war" in Iraq, what we should actually be doing to defend ourselves, etc, gives the neocons the cover to do whatever the hell they like in the name of "the war on terror", preemptive self-defense and etc.

In the actual circumstances, most of our opponents in Iraq are Iraqis. And once we pull out they will probably be busy there for some time (as will most, if not all, of their jihadi friends). We can use that time (and the present) to better prepare to defend ourselves from terrorist attacks -- no matter what the source (which is what we ought to be doing in any event -- and which we aren't).

Besides, it's a long-ass swim.
