All of this finger pointing by the democrats and anxious desire to deny any responsibility is appalling. Are we all supposed to believe that the democrats who voted for force in Iraq are a bunch of cowering weenies, beaten down by Bush and forced to vote contrary to their beliefs? Fine. I believe it. You have all convinced me! Your arguments have done a great job of illustrating that Democrats have no backbone. We have now been shown that as a large group, they caved in, abandoned their moral responsibility to do what they believed was right for their constituents and became puppets dancing on strings.
Break out the champagne Perry, you’ve brought me around to your way of thinking!
Perry, I have no doubt that you are well in line with your French friends. They have a history of retreat.
At Belleau Wood, the French turned and ran, encountering Marines marching forward. Confronted by the retreating French (who were fighting to keep their own soil), Marine Captain Lloyd Williams of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines said, “Retreat, hell we just got here.”
