Hank -- editing your post while I'm responding it is no fair. But, okay -- I'll play.

Using police tactics at home instead of the military in Iraq? Those pussies. What are they thinking.

we have taken out Afghanistan as a country where they can roam free.

They aren't out of Afghanistan, and to the extent they are they've largely relocated to Pakistan. But instead of devoting our military to hunting them down, and our resources to making Afgahnistan a true example of the rewards of moving away from Islamic dictatorship, we've diverted them to the Baghdad Adventure.

If you mean what we've done is a complete shield- no shit. What else do you think should have been done?

Devoted our resources to hunting them down, to developing Afghanistan, and to working with (instead of alienating) our allies and others to hunting them down. This wouldn't have been a complete shield either -- no such thing. But the invasion of Iraq was a great waste of resources, American lives, credibility, goodwill, and so much more -- and for what? To bring democracy to the Shiites? Big fucking deal -- look at how the Shiites in Iran just exercised their votes.

And no offense but for all your denials in the past, I predict your answer to this will come back to haunt.

What denials, and what answer, are you talking about? Are you back to claiming that I'm pro-terrorist?
