Thread Name: BS: Cheney is right
Subject: RE: BS: Cheney is right
I've been against the war since it started too. You seem to think it not possible to be both against the war but not against the re-write of history that consistantly occurs among the anti-war left as illustrated in this thread.
I don't know Teribus, never had an exchange with him, don't even know much about his positions on issues. I've never addressed him nor he me.
But I do know that it is quite possible to do as he has done here on this thread and point out the realities of the pre-war decade and show that it was accepted intelligence that Iraq was a terrorist threat -- as illustrated by Gore adamance' on the matter...
(there was, as I said before Alba's irrational "jerk" outburst, no "gore bashing" up thread. If anything, it was pointed out the he had changed his position at least as drastically as Cheney.)
...that being against the war and one's view of how the pre-war events occurred are not always the same discussion. You seem to imply that my position is impossible. And I'm telling you that that is bullshit. If it is impossible for me to be both against the war, but in agreement that you are full of shit about what led up to the war then you haven't read very much...
