Just try naming a right wing pundit with a passing familiarity with reality. How about that?

And with regards to Pace, I don’t think anyone who sees a civil war in Iraq as a possibility could be characterized as supporting the claim that things are going so-so in Iraq. Pace strikes me as being on the down side of the assessment.

But again, let me point out that simply believing things are going okay in IRaq doesn’t mean that they actually are. Or is that concept totally foreign to you guys on the right?

That’ll work just fine.

“Iraq: Not a total mess.”

Pay attention, son. I was asked to name a blogger and a general who did not believe Iraq was a total mess (or just ‘so-so’).

I admit it would be much harder to name a blogger you like who doesn’t believe Iraq is a total mess.

If you’d like to decipher that last bit, have at it. From where I stand you have a general saying that things are getting worse in Iraq and that we can’t stay there indefinitely until the Iraqis sort it out. How that differs from what anyone on the left or the mainstream of American public opinion, is saying, you got me.

And I can’t believe you had brought up Sean Hannity. Hannity would applaud Bush if he started killing puppies on the White House lawn. Hacks of a feather, I guess…

Why refute an invalid point?

Gen Peter Pace and Sean Hannity.

For krissakes then Dugger please show us a general or other blogger who thinks everything is just so-so in Iraq.

It’s not that hard to understand. Here’s the jist of it:

Moment A: “The left isn’t united on any ideas, so they suck.”

Moment B: “The left isn’t tolerant of any ideas that they agree upon, so they suck.”

In the end, you’re left with saying that the left isn’t open to new ideas that opposes the ideas that the left doesn’t even have in the first place. If you bother to think about it for a second, it doesn’t make sense. The talking points the pundits have fed you are conflicting with eachother.

Then again, I don’t blame you for not refuting my point, considering the fact that you and the rest of the conservative trolls here are too scared to respond to my posts most of the time.

“That’s an interesting observation, Dugger.

Maybe you could point us to those “generals and other bloggers” who still insist things are going swimmingly in Iraq?”

Perhaps its interesting because you distorted what I said. Is there not a middle ground? Or if some generals do not think Iraq is a total mess, do they then, by default, have to believe things are going swimmingly?
Nothing in between?

Zython, You misinterprteted. My comment on the left has to do with intolerance of opposing viewpoints. Almost opposite of what your confused post seems to be saying.

One of the nice things about being on the ‘right’ side, is that we have true diversity of opinion. If someone on your side speaks up, he’s gone.

Here’s the thing that doesn’t make sense. One minute, you say that the left isn’t united, hence they suck. Then you turn around and say that the left doesn’t have diverse opinions, hence they suck. Doesn’t that strike you as the least bit odd? Flip-flopper.

Like our ALLY Islam Karimov in Uzbekistan? The guy who boils his opponents? Why are we leaving him in power?

As to Abu Ghraib, none of us would have even recognized the name of Saddam’s prison had our own people not taken over the activities there without losing a beat.

whilst in a race with Ahmadinejad to see who could use the most inflamatory, anti-US extremist rhetoric.

Name calling? Now THERE’S a serious threat. Time to take out Ann Coulter.

you certainly have to acknowledge there would have been trade-offs and consequences of NOT going in.

Yeah, tens of thousands of people still alive, $300B not borrowed from China, our military still in working condition, and a measure of worldwide respect. Bummer stuff.

What is your military record? Do you plan to serve in Iraq?
