I get sick of people yapping at his heels, and sometimes I wonder what they would have done given the same set of circumstances. It's true. hind sight is 20/20 and It's easy for partisan arm chair politicians to dig up and dream up criticisms. But he was making snap, real time decisions, and our homeland has not been attacked since 9/11. That says something. Even if you don't like it.
Oh wait, I'm against the war, so I must be a tree-hugging lefty liberal. I keep forgetting that.
That must be what you're trying to do here, with this horrible attempt at a comparison. Labeling people. I understand that in your mind, there is no gray area, but believe it or not, some people actually do possess the ability to ascribe to stuff that "righties" believe in and some stuff that "lefties" believe in at the same time. I know, weird right? I guess you would call those people "free thinkers". People who don't fit the mold that guys like Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh try so hard to create every day. I'll stop now, because I'm pretty sure that's a difficult concept for you to wrap your head around.
Funny though, I got called a Bushbot and a lefty in the same day.
I'm also happy that Saddam is dead. What I'm unhappy about is the 4,000+ Americans who've died over there. Who cares, though, right? Saddam was a big meany who thumbed his nose at us.
It certainly doesn't say terrorists aren't killing Americans, if that's what you're implying. We just brought the Americans to them, so why should they bother crossing the Atlantic when soldiers are right in their backyard? The Americans in Afghanistan are no less valuable than the Americans in the "homeland".
