		<description>&quot;I&#039;d personally argue that the basic factors of a) Hussein&#039;s past history of use of WMD, b) Intention, c) Opportunity show that the Hussein regime was an international menace, such that we could not just leave the matter alone and hope for the best.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course we couldn&#039;t.  And the few who were instinctively against doing anything about it (because it would constitute a US and Western success) would have been the first and loudest complainers had Hussein or his sons attacked their neighbors again, etc.</description>

		<description>&quot;Is it our role to be the world&#039;s police force and start wars with every 2 bit dictator who oppresses his people? Some might actually believe that should be the primary role of the USA in the 21st century, but many of us see it as backward and destabilizing... to put it mildly.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;ll remember that the next time there&#039;s more wailing about Darfur or when someone actually wants to justify our little adventure in Haiti on behalf of a beloved left-wing president there.</description>

		<description>Kryon77&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No one here is interested in facts or figures when it comes to Iraq.  Nearly all the commenters are far left antiwar types who only get their jollies calling bush and cheney names. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; They despise being in Iraq and yet want to escalate Afghanistan because their bizarre reasoning is that somehow blowing up stuff in Afghanistan is in their minds justified.  That makes for a powerful force.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The right justified Iraq and so it was to be.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They have no definition of victory in Afghanistan.  They only want to kill stuff and blow stuff up over there.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They have no idea how much it will cost or who will pay for it.  They just want their turn to kill stuff and blow stuff up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They have no idea what the mission is in Afghanistan.  They just want to kill stuff and blow stuff up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And in the end.  More people will die.  Barak Obama will get a bit more cooperation out of Nato and in the end more and more people will be homeless and without shelter all for a Justifiable war.  Because a man named OBL killed Americans we then must exact our retribution upon women and children 12,000 miles away who had nothing to do with it and dont even know who OBL is. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess that would be like China Invading America to kill the Bloods or the Krypts in LA because they blew up Tianamen square.  Once they killed a few of them they then blow up cities in Nevada and Arizona because people their are pissed that China is blowing stuff up IN LA.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Where does it stop.  These war mongers even want to go after Pakistan.  Why stop with Pakistan.  Lets get the bums in China too and Chechnya.</description>

		<description>Chris is right about McCain getting down in the muck. The GOP seems to have learned nothing from the past 8 years if they are unwilling to separate themselves from the Rove tactics. Those who run interference for these tactics are equally shameless (or clueless, or hopelessly partisan) and the fact is, America has suffered greatly because of it.  Would I rather have a president who is still in the process of gaining experience than someone who has a great deal of it - and has learned little from it? In a heartbeat.</description>

The GOP seems to have learned nothing from the past 8 years if they are unwilling to separate themselves from the Rove tactics. Those who run interference for these tactics are equally shameless (or clueless, or hopelessly partisan) and the fact is, America has suffered greatly because of it.  Would I rather have a president who is still in the process of gaining experience than someone who has a great deal of it &#8211; and has learned little from it? In a heartbeat.</p>

		<description>Whats in question is that the Obama campaign cant even respond themselves.  They have to call on John &quot;The troops suck&quot; Murtha to defend him.  &quot;Harry &quot;The war is Lost&quot; Reid to defend Barak Obama from false allegations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Barak Obama is cute.  Hes too &quot;cluck, cluck&quot;  to even fight his own battles.  He has to stay above the fray so he sends out his minions to do it for him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;New Name.         Barak &quot;The Godfather&quot; Obama.  Give them an offer they cant refuse.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like I said the press is after Obama cause they know he is not capable of being president and they are trying to wise us all up before its too late.</description>

		<description>I agree with most of what mikkel says, although it also seems that a significant amount of credit for the reduction of sectarian violence in Baghdad goes to Petraeus - by re-deploying troops out of the green zone and into neighborhoods they were able to fill the role that the Iraqi police force was supposed to fill, providing some semblance of security to the local population.  Aside from that, however, it does seem that the majority of the reduction in violence was due to the Anbar awakening and al Sadr calling off his militia - both of which started well before the troop surge.</description>

		<description>Yeah people fergit how the Clintons were destroyed by the Obama crowd in the primary for stooping to implying that some of the greatest advocates of the Black people were racists.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama is only taking the higher road because hes in the lead.  AS the polls close we will see how high his campaign remains when desperation sets in.</description>
