It's not a war. It's "high impact compassionate progressivism"

The general consensus was that the wars were justified, and if any dirty liberal were against them, they were Anti-America and wanted the troops to fail. Not even that, if you happened to bring up the fact that their were no ties between Saddam and Al Qaeda, they'd come in with the same old "AMERICAFREEDOMWHYDOYOUHATEIT!!1!" rhetoric.

There was a world prior to 1/20/09. People don't forget who was doing what from 2001-08...

I guess you better get on the horn to the acting Sec of State......

"“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capabilities, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members.

That should solve the problem.

Oh I agree with your view point. I was just qualifying the original OP. Code Pink was not being hypocritical in this instance. The Left wing media on the other hand......
