Thread: A Loud Silence

That's the response from the "antiwar" wing of the Democratic party to Obama's Iraq sellout

Unsurprising considering the Left has never really been antiwar.

I'm curous where the "tens of thousands" number of residual troops came from since it's not in the Obama quote.

It comes from the New York Times article published just the other day, and its really been Obama's proposed policy for many months. Been living under a rock?

Yes, and it's a very nice one too. Actually I don't follow politics too closely because it doesn't really matter what they say.

It is Anti-War.com, they make shit up. And people like D eat it up. I was going to ask for a legitimate news source, but it has not worked sofar, and I do not expect it to work this time either.

Defensor doesn't trust legitimate news sources. They're far too accurate to make them useful in supporting his smoke and mirrors opinions.

No argument there.

I read it again, and it looks like he took the original story and add and removed facts as was nesicary to make his pre-assumed point. Sad.

Yes, its anti-war.com. Unsurprising that a neocon warmonger like you wouldn't like it. Same thing goes for Bourne.

Speaking of being "anti-war",

Do you unconditionally condemn all suicide bombings that have targeted the citizens of Israel?

Well, you must understand D., I don't put much stock in your usual "make it up as I go along" looney tunes sources such as anti-war.com.

I prefer sources with a reasonably reliable track record of accuracy.
