What side are you on in Iraq?

[Jake]

Perhaps I should make a loaded poll: Do you support US troops dying to help prop up a government that is friendly with Iran and led by someone who paid tribute to Khomeini's grave?

That's the best kind, prude.

[A18]

No. It's not a loaded question. It's just a different question from the one you bring up.

Yes it is.  It's to get the respondent to say "I support the US", which then implies that the respondent supports the War in Iraq.  The question does not allow much of any recourse for someone who doesn't support the War in Iraq.  There's no right answer if that's the case.

Uh, no. Someone who opposes the war can still prefer the United States to terrorists.

[Jake]

I'm not on a side. Wars in general involve people I do not care about fighting over issues that do not affect me. I therefore do not care who wins.

In other words, you're a terrorist lover.

In YOUR words I'm a terrorist lover. In my words, I'm just apathetic.

Does being mad at Bush for ignoring the 8/06/01 memo titled "Bin Laden determined to strike in US" make me a terrorist lover?

I assume you're just as mad at Clinton for ignoring the State Dept.'s warnings in 1996 that Bin Laden's move to Afghanistan would create further problems for the US?

[A18]

Who says it was ignored?

Clinton attack Bin Laden, you Republican apoligist.

If Bush had done one concrete thing about terrorism before September 11th, 2001, we would have heard about it long ago. The point is he reversed Clinton adminstration anti-terorrism efforts.

I'm curious.  What do you find wrong with being an apologist (a person who argues in the defence of something)?  Or are you just using it because it is a neutral word that happens to have a negative connotation as of late?

[A18]

We already knew Bin Laden was trying to attack the United States. He had already done so several times.

Your second sentence is laughable.

Looking at the current Republican party, it should be obvious to any sensible person that a Republican apoligist is a bad thing.

Well, if your definition of "sensible person" is one who agrees with you, sure.  But, if not, then it is not an insult.  Generally, insults are supposed to be something that both parties agree is offensive.  This is akin to someone calling you "liberal" with intent to offend.

[opebo]

By the way, they aren't 'terorists', they are a Resistance Movement fighting an invader.

Hee hee. This is the sort of thing 'trapped'  by my loaded BS poll.

To what are you referring?  My 'terorists' typo or my opinion?  Because I have been expressing this opinion freely on the board for months now.

[Platypus]

just by seeing the title of this thread, not even the polloptions, I knew it would be a pointless and stupid one from a right winger. I expected it to be a Republican, but Dan, you're close enough, really, eh?

Jfern is just Jfern.  Whomever doesn't agree with him is a Republican apologist, even if they are Democrats.

Oh yeah.  He had those masterful responses to the original WTC attacks, the attacks on our embassies, and the attacks against the Cole.  Whew, he was sure a defender of the US back then.  Yep, he went after those terrorists with everything he had . . . oh wait, no he didn't.    He didn't even ask the CIA to increase the number of spies to infiltrate the terrorist organizations.  If reversing that anti-terorrism effort is a bad thing, then thank God Bush did.

[MasterJedi]

I support what the US is doing now and the current Iraqi government.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I'll say that I do support the left wing extremist Kurdish groups and if any of the Christian groups launched their own insurgency, I'd support that. The left wing extremist Kurds and Christians are the only good people in Iraq.

[GOP = Terrorists]

I'm on the side of the dead women and children.
