and why don't they get appalled at bombings like the one that just occurred in India?
Why do they refuse to believe we are fighting a war on terror? why do they always call it the "so-called war on terror"?
Have they found a way to blame Bush for the India bombing yet?

Many even refuse to admit that Iraq openly and actively supported terrorism and harbored the worlds most dangerous terrorists such as Abu Nidal. Sorry people, but this is a fact and is not even debatable.

My guess is because they want to see America fail and blame Bush for it all. They like to think that it is all made up because they actually believe that you can sit down with these animals and come to an agreement with them. They lack the ability to see things in the world for what they are. They view things through some kind of idealized lens that terribly distorts reality. And I see the members of the freak show left are now trying to play the Iraq card. You lefties truly are idiots. Has Bush said 9/11 was connected to 9/11? NO! Just so you know, it is a well documented FACT Saddam did indeed support terrorism. It is a war on terrorists and the states that support it you mindless fools. Do you understand that yet? It is not a war on who did 9/11. Furthermore, if you had a brain, you would understand that Iraq has it's strategic value as well. In case you missed it, there is a nut job running Iran that has a goal of world destabilization. He believes it is his holy duty to bring about the end of the world. Think we should just let that go unchecked? If we can win the peace in Iraq, it will be the most brilliant piece of foreign policy ever embarked upon. You libs are just pissed you did not have the balls to go for it.

Liberals--in the US at least--often refer to the "so-called war on terror" because the problems that underlie terrorism are not being addressed. We have a war in Iraq that is creating terrorists (according to the intelligence people working for Bush, not the liberals) and an equally failed war in Afghanistan.

But Osama is still running around loos, and terrorist organizations are not being targeted. Nor is any effort being made to address toe social and econnomicproblems in countries all over the Muslim world that make ordinary people desperate enough to turn to the terrorists.

In other words, its not that liberals don't take terrorism seriously--but we don't indulge the conservatives by pretending that what they are doing is a "war on terror""--because it isn't. IThey are after power and profit--and are NOT attacking the terrorists.

What i don't get is the concept of a war on terror. You can have a war on terrorists but there is no military "war" against a tactic which is what terrorism is. Why can't conservatives admit bush screwed up. we backed the war against the taliban and al queda but iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 had no wmd and now we have destabilized the region with war we should be done with or better yet never started. you fight wars to win, there is no military win available in iraq.This undermines the credibility of the real war against our enemies. Just because we say were the good guys dosen't make it so.

You are confusing the problem with the tactics to resolve the problem.
The mission in Afghanistan has wide spread support by liberals and Conservatives alike.
The mission in Iraq WAS supported by Liberals and Conservatives alike but in that it is now demonstrated that the fundamental reasons for an emergency military invasion of Iraq was fundamentally and disastrously flawed the Administrations position has lost support by Conservatives and Liberals alike.
The manner in which the US administration engaged the problem in Iraq has left the US responsible for the catastrophe that exists there today.

When you state that Liberals do not acknowledge the existence of terrorism and or are unwilling to combat terrorism you are simply expressing your beliefs and your beliefs are entirely ungrounded in actual fact.

Where do you get the idea that liberals don't acknowledge any terrorist threats, from Rush Limbaugh? I defy you to find any statement ever made by any democratic national leader saying they don't acknowledge the threat of terrorism...you can't, 'cause it's never happened.

But, as for your "war on terror":
How many of the 9/11 terrorists had any connection of any kind to Iraq? None. Not a single connection of any kind. The majority of them were Saudis -- why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia to take out the "terrorist threat?" Instead we go into Iraq, whose leader and people had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, and who were so economically and politically isolated that they were no threat to anybody.
Then there's Afghanistan: we go in, take over, kick out the Taliban. Osama Bin Laden is in the country, and our troops have him surrounded in an area of less than 50 square miles...
Osama escapes. The Taliban is one again rising, and controls nearly half of Afghanistan. Now I *know* the US military isn't incompetent, so the only explanation for those events is the poor leadership coming out of the Bush administration...who invaded Afghanistan and then basically ignored it, while concentrating on Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11.
Oh, there *are* terrorists in Iraq now -- our presence there drew them like a magnet.

Finally...what has a bombing in India got to do with any of this? Do you think there were never terrorist attacks before 9/11 or our "so-called war on terror?" Ones that were not related in any way to 9/11 or Al Queda, that had only to do with local issues and politics? Are we fighting a "so-called war on terror" in India that could have prevented this? No.
We don't blame Bush for such things -- there's plenty of screwed-up messes he's made that he does deserve the blame for without having to blame him for every bad thing that happens in the world.
Liberals don't ignore the threat of terrorism -- we simply don't think the current president is doing anything useful to combat the threat, and is instead wasting our brave soldiers' lives on his own personal agenda, and is ignoring the real terrorist threats. And the evidence backs us up.

I see you won't get a liberal to give you a honest answer.
Mainly I believe is very simple.
They think that Muslim terrorists is all about bin laden PERIOD.

The only liberal that did come out was Liberman and you saw what the DNC did to him.

To them they think it is ALL BUSH'S FAULT.

have you ever met somebody who would not think of that religious fundamentalism motives problems? i've got no longer. you're misrepresenting that statistic. out of your link: 'nevertheless, overwhelming majorities of the two communities reject suicide bombing as a technique, inclusive of eighty 5% of people who % out extensively speaking as human beings and seventy 9% who evaluate themselves Muslims first.' Your discern of '21% of yank Moslems' seems to have been won via brushing off people who % out extensively speaking as human beings. i anticipate that replaced into basically an oversight on your area, staggering? additionally, the rfile contains a discern relatively bearing directly to civilian objectives, which you will possibly desire to have ignored. It discovered: 'very few Muslim human beings – purely a million% – say that suicide bombings against civilian objectives are often justified to look after Islam; one extra 7% say suicide bombings are at times justified in those situations.' you relatively might desire to be extra careful approximately throwing information around like that. you already know how some human beings have self belief each and every thing they examine; you won't choose for to furnish somebody the incorrect effect. staggering? The 9% additionally contains people who spoke back via asserting that they do no longer understand. And what precisely is your good judgment in asserting that refusing to respond to 'says extra beneficial than an definitely reaction ever ought to'? in case you think of they refused to respond to simply by fact they have been hiding some thing, then why would not they simply have suggested 'by no potential'? "I look after that anybody who "would not understand" despite if or no longer concentrated on civilians via way of suicide bombs is often incorrect is himself a difficulty." What if via killing a small crew of civilians, you maintain a larger crew of civilians? i'm no longer suggesting that suicide bombing is ever justified, yet there genuinely are questions which will reason somebody to precise uncertainty without that individual being a violent extremist. the factor is, you won't be in a position to easily make up solutions the place none have been given. it relatively is not how information artwork.

Why do you arrogant conservatives admit that our presence in Iraq did more for recruiting terrorists than anything else since post 911?
Why do you believe that in spite of overwhelming evidence there is no military solution to this war? Why do you only pay lip service to the idea that we must put the majority of our effort on a political solution and not more troops?
Why do you conservatives try to send soldiers in to harms way and not do the fight yourself? Why do you not think it is hypocrisy to put the front line soldiers in harms way but you, the Vice President and the President are too hedonistic to have to serve in the Armed forces on the front line?

When the real world clashes with their view of flowers and kittens they find it easier to ignore the obvious problem than change their minds. Contrary to all of those moronic after school specials, bullies do not go away if you ignore them.

Do you really think Liberals can see the big picture on that subject any better than they can see anything else? You've forgotten that the rules of Liberalism require you to put your blinders on and follow the rest of the sheep and never question what your constituents tell you to believe. Always follow what the media tells you is truth and never ever think for yourself.
