That's a great comfort.

"fog of war" and "complexities of the issue" were the same sound bites that came from cheney's office six years ago.

So, you think it is wrong, but you don't want anyone to say anything about it.

You get pissed that you think someone is telling you what your breaking point is but you don't mind telling someone else what theirs should be.

Oh. And to start bringing up the plight of women as an excuse is way below nasty. So your next tactic is to say that anyone who doesn't support killing American citizens without trial is supporting beheading for women. How nasty and dishonest a tactic that is. Or is saving the women of the world from mistreatment your reason for the war? I've got some other countries you could begin bombing then. Saving the people from a dictator was bush's excuse once their were no wmd.
