Conversations on Iraq

Very important post on The Political Lizard "The Irresponsible Defeatists" about and I hope a lot of people read it. I agree wholeheartedly that "we need leadership; not political rhetoric and political pandering." And I would only add that I don't think that leadership will be coming from either of the two major parties, their candidates or their strategies to get votes. We the people will have to take responsibility for the issues raised by The Lizard. I agree that Iraq is a defeat for the liberals/Dems just as much as it is for the neo-cons/Repubs. That's why a strong independent movement that can rally non-partisans is so important right now. A continuation of Clinton/Bush? I think not! Let's keep organizing at the grassroots!

My god! This is a right-wing screed advocating staying the course in Iraq until ...

Does a right-wing post get your stamp of approval just because it raps the Democrats. Another post there states, "All of the major Democratic hopefuls are attending a convention put on by the most left leaning hate organization in the country. The daily KOS is a special interest group that represents the far extremes of the left sided issues. They publish posts daily that are hate filled."

They are upset that candidates didn't attend Hillary's DLC conference.

Their number one link is to Little Green Footballs, a site notorious for anti-Muslim hate, a feeding trough for fascists.

By the way, Fred Newman and Jackie Salit are Iraq Defeatocrats and would fall under the Lizard's guns for their stand. For shame!
