Valid points? I'm not sure what you're reading. All that BAP has done is make a lot of wild, unsupported accusations that somehow it's "the liberals" who are to blame for our current troubles. If there's a valid argument in there please point it out to me.

For the last 6 years Bush has basically had a blank check. In absolutely all matters having to do with the "war on terror" generally and Iraq specifically he has gotten every single thing he has asked for. He has had the full support of a republican controlled legislature, a generally conservative judiciary, and an American public that has been pretty much inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt on conducting foreign policy. The most watched news network in the USA, FOX news, is unabashedly conservative and has unequivocally supported him every step of the way.

And now, six years into it and faced with the biggest debacle since Vietnam, it's suddenly "the liberals" who are to blame? This is a joke right? The biggest criticism you can make of the Democrats at this point is that they have basically abdicated their role as the opposition party and rolled over for fear of being labeled "unpatriotic".

Who exactly are these "suites and ties" sitting inside the beltway who have somehow managed to tie the hands of our military? Name me one, and tell me what exactly he/she has done. Really, I'd be interested to hear it.

Prior to the war in Iraq, Army Chief of Staff General Eric Shinseki said publicly that the administration of a post war Iraq would require several hundred thousand troops in order to be succesful. His honesty got him publicly humiliated by Wolfowitz and turned into a lame duck by Rumsfeld. Read what Mark Scheid has to say. Who was it that tied the hands of our military again? Some guy in a suit and tie?

But hey, maybe we should just do like Over9five says and make some videos of our troops cutting off people's heads while shouting "God is great". I'm sure that will go long way to fixing things.

"Liberals"....please...

Compare the way WW1 and WW2 was faught with the way Vietnam and the current war in Iraq. America (and allies) didn't hold anything back against the enemy. They didn't worry about political correctness. Or what would happend if they accidentally killed civilians (in the current war many civilians are used as human shields and aren't always forced to). They didn't have to walk on egg shells because liberalsim wasn't so rampid back then. Oh...and by the way....many of your liberal representatives that are throwing a hissy fit about the war were all for it in the beginning. Also...I live close to a base and according to the MANY soldiers I've talked to that have been to Iraq (some several times) the Iraqis that want us there greatly outnumber the Iraqis that don't. So don't believe the BS polls that come from CNN and the rest of the Communist, America hating, Brainwashed liberal networks. When it comes to the war in Iraq they serve no purpose other than to smear America. Ole Wolf Blitzer should have been hung along side of Saddam.

I live near someone from Tennessee and he is less educated than the majority of the country. Should we assume that you are too?

You can assume that everyone in Tennessee is uneducated, (it's hilarious that anyone from VT has the audacity to attempt to smear another sate), but remember that you work for the same company that employs thousands of Tennesseans. So what does that say about you? Oh and by the way....Tennessee has probably contributed more to this country than VT ever will. In fact, I'm sure of it.

Finally, something we can agree on.

Do you agree that Fat Phill Fulimer should be fired and replaced by a coach that doesn't recruit a bunch of thugs that can't even make a C minus to pass their classes? Let alone hold on to the football? His weight keeps going up while his bowl record, record against Florida, and recruiting goes down.
