The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsUnimpressive Fact Fabricators
Conservative Cat shows us and explains a comment from a misinformed liberalist mind.
There are many people out there who are ignorant (and by ignorant, I don't mean being a jerk or a dumba$$, I mean, uninformed or oblivious to some facts or realities).
I'm not saying that liberalists are wrong or right in their view on the war - everyone's entitled to their opinion of it - but to state untruths and to make up stories definately shows low class and a lack of knowledge.
Anyhow, MR.BIG has previously discussed why as a Canadian, he supports the war, so I won't go on further about it.
Comments
I wouldn't say Mr. Cat's interlocutor has cornered the market on low class and a lack of knowledge. First and foremost, Cat goes way out on a limb to assume that Diane thinks Americans are selfish and stupid. She may think that about Bush & Co., but she's hardly alone there. Why is it that our false little left/right dichotomy makes it so easy to accuse the other side of, essentially, treason? Why can't people break out of their Manichean prisons? Not all liberals are against the war and not all conservatives are for it. Virtually no one in their right mind thinks it's going along perfectly right at the moment...

I am NOT the Diane Mr. Cat refers to in his post and even though he made it clear that was a psuedonym, as I comment here often I really want to make that clear.
I don't know if this other Diane thinks Americans are selfish and stupid or not, but she doesn't appear too bright to me. At the very least her logic is skewed.
She says: I mean, there weren't any logical reasons why we needed to be there: no connection to al Quaeda (Osama's in Pakistan, after all), no WMDs, no way to get the oil as long as the locals could blow up the pipelines, etc. It just felt good to attack a country in revenge for 9/11.
No connection to al Quaeda (Osama's in Pakistan, after all)? I guess we should ask her for a map to his residence.
No WMD's? None we found. Needle in a haystack as far as I'm concerned. Lots of sand over there.
No way to get the oil? Like we'd go over there and just take it. I'm fairly certain the plan if there was/is one to get the oil is quite a bit more subtle than that.
It just felt good to attack a country as revenge for 9/11? It didn't make me feel good. It saddens me extremely that we have to attack anyone for any reason.
I'm glad Saddam Hussein is out of power there, and I hope whatever advances we've made in helping to bring democratic freedom to that country aren't for naught.
She also says:We no longer have any idea what mission we were trying to accomplish, so why not just pack up & go home?
She needs to read THIS.

The commenter in question doesn't appear misinformed to me; she simply put forth a - in my opinion correct - proposition without siting relevant evidence to back it up.
But that seems to be exactly what the 'cat' is guilty of in his response to her. 'Liberals hate America'? Please, there has to be a better line of argument than that.
