[lbo-talk] Re New Economist Poll: Bad News For Bush

[Michael Dawson]

But what is so complicated about saying that Hussein could and should have
been ousted from power, but Bush screwed it up by not exhausting
non-military means and, when he went to war, screwing up its execution?

Jesus, Nathan, that's an _illegal war_ you're talking about!  It is against
the law to invade a country unless it attacks you first!  Jesus!

And it's also simply false that Bush has handled the war incorrectly.  The
problems we now face in Iraq are 100 percent a straight consequence of
invading Iraq.  Abu Ghraib would've happened under Kerry.  It's built into
the military.  And Bush has actually run the war pretty well, if you accept
its premise.

People aren't as stupid as you and Kerry seem to think they are.  They know
that Kerry's farting on them about all this.

Meanwhile, why do you support war crimes?  Are you that beholden to the DP?
