I don't believe any of the "lefties" here has stated that the United States deserves to be the victim of genocide, or to just hand over victory like sheep to the terrorist, this is the same old VERY TIRED right wing accusation of anyone who does not agree with the war in Iraq. Somehow, even though many of us, me included have STRONGLY and VOCALLY supported our actions in Afghanistan (where the real war on terrorism began and should have stayed) 100%, this is repeatedly overlooked. If I were an appeaser, or pacifist, then I would not support miliatry action ANYWHERE or for ANY REASON, but, ha, what do ya know, I support us going into Afghanistan, and I wonder daily why we diverted sources AWAY from that theater, so that Bin Laden can continue issuing news clips at will, continue making threats, and the Taliban can regain footholds in the far outer provinces of that country since we are spread thin there in order to ensure we have enough troops in Iraq. Why do we not have Osama bin Laden, THE leader of the 9/11 attack, in custody and on trial, or already executed? I have yet to hear ANY satisfactory answer on that from ANY one, only excuses, and counter charges to distract us from that question.
