("Generals are in control in Iraq" vs. "how can the left argue the generals should be in control.")<BR/>Also, I shouldn't be, but once again I'm amazed with their ability to take a situation out to its extreme, such as "dissent by retired generals is a coup." However, when you bring up the American Citizen Spying Program, they will tell you to not jump to such "wild conclusions" that there's a chance innocent americans are being spied on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558228.post-1145717900468353002006-04-22T09:58:00.001-05:002006-04-22T09:58:00.001-05:00Expecting an "honest" discussion on these issues from the lying liars that "catapult the propaganda" is insanity.<BR/><BR/>You have presented the issues clearly and in a well-organized matter, however, good job.<BR/><BR/>The "Decider in Chimp" can't handle reality. Of course, he was never our problem in the first place. At some point we need to discuss how the interests BEHIND tthis administration manipulated such a poor excuse for a human being int he White House.<BR/><BR/>A "decider" and a "uniter" indeed...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558228.post-1145717894212980752006-04-22T09:58:00.000-05:002006-04-22T09:58:00.000-05:00Reynolds consistently focuses his energy on turning every issue off a debate course and into a train wreck where he then manages the issues by slotting them as carried by illegitimate messengers. Why is Reynolds and his Right so afraid of debate? If the world had followed his lead we'd still be sitting in caves like the new FedX ad shows waiting for a delivery.mainsailsethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01103151843119135228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558228.post-1145710684170362572006-04-22T07:58:00.000-05:002006-04-22T07:58:00.000-05:00A.L., you've nailed it. Excellent post.<BR/><BR/>I know a bit about civil-military relations (it comes up every couple years in debate; we call it CMR), and that angle never made any sense to me. I'm really glad someone took the time to really beat that "but won't this destroy CMR?" meme into the dirt.Disenchanted Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17859991129024779900noreply@blogger.com
