According to the Backroom Veterans for Truth, Hurin never posted in the backroom anyway. Go buy yourselves some purple band-aids, lads.

TSK Tsk - you missed the point of the post. Your not wanting to have a discussion over the issue, your wanting to just shut down any disagreement over the article. To funny. This is what happens when one becomes nothing but an idealogue stuck on one point.

Oh by the way Lemur if you go back into the archieves you will find that when the invasion of Iraq was going on - I also stated I did not believe there was enough troops being used.

So take the purple band-aid and place it over your own fingers.

Rice calls for looking forward
“There will be time to go back and look at those days of the war and, after the war, to examine what went right and what went wrong,” Rice said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

War may be an extension of politics but you do not have the luxury of reviewing it after the fact. Examine it now and get it right. If it means putting in 500,000 troops then do so. If for nothing more then to make the political gains a reality.

That depends on what the point in Iraq was. For some have got very rich off the situation - and richer still as things continue to destabalise.

A stable Iraq again doesn't inflame islamic extremists anywhere near as the current mess does.

Sure, lives are being lost and so is government money but so what?
