    Default Question and Answer

    Question; what do you do when someone you can't stand is actually right about something?
    Answer: even a broken clock is right twice a day. Get over it and deal with it.

    I have literally never had a conservative message board poster say to me:


    "Hey, you know what? You were right. Invading Iraq was actually a dangerous and dumb ass idea."

    There were huge demonstrations against it in the UK, but Bliar ignored them and made up bullshit to enable him to crawl to America. I expect there were similar political pressures over there.

    All kinds of pressure and deception used to engineer that foolish war.

    Bush said he needed Congress to vote for the authorization to use force resolution to give him diplomatic leverage, not because he had decided to go to war.

    I am not responsible for anyone's actions but mine.

    The choice to invade Iraq was the biggest test of good judgement in our generation.

    It was the rorschach test of this generation for who has good judgement and who has impaired, shitty judgement.

    I knew from the very beginning that invading Iraq was a dumbass idea.

    You not only thought invading Iraq was an awesome idea, but you slipped on a cheerleader skirt and picked up some pom-poms to cheerlead for your war.

    I love how you cannot deny my judgement was superior to yours, by a country mile:

    I thought invading Iraq was a dumbass idea.

    You thought invading Iraq was an awesome idea

    Actually, NO ONE has forgotten who signed off for that heinous lie and why.....because they bought the lie about WMD's...not surprising since the Reagan/Bush era sold the damned things to Hussein. But if you recall, 126 Democrats, 6 Republicans, and 1 Independent (Sanders) voted against it in the House ... 21 Democrats, 1 Republican (Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island), and 1 Independent (Jim Jeffords of Vermont) voted against it in the Senate.

    And remember, Hussein was our boy until he actually thought it was his country to act independently without USA approval. That's way Rumsfeld was there to firm up that pipeline deal and just barely mentioned gassing the Kurds....that's why Glaspie gave the okay regarding non interference to go to blows with Kuwait.
    Do your homework, Bob. Then take note regarding the OP.

    Actually, I don't recall anyone actually defending Weiner. If they did, then they were fools. The GOP wasted the tax payer's money trying to hang Hillary (but I wouldn't have voted for that duplicitous POS anyway), because legally they just couldn't prove their case beyond speculation.

    the OP stands....I usually use the phrase "I stand corrected" or just flat out say "I was wrong" when needed. Just saying.
