Well, in this instance, it's no game.  They are against the war-- prove it.
They need to accept the consequences of their beliefs.  If most of America is

The game is the 'bait 'n switch' done by George and anyone who follows him.  The
'War on Terror' isn't in Iraq, though.  At least, it wasn't until George
invaded.  The varying ideals for the war in Iraq--WoMD, imminent danger!!, not
for oil, greeted as liberators, mission accomplished, 'in last throes'...  how
can you still believe in anything coming from the current US administration?

It's not 'Cut and Run' to realize you've been had and to look for the best way
out of the ill conceived and ill planned Iraqi war.  It actually is the
proponents of the Iraq war who want it both ways--we want the war but are
unwilling to actually, y'know, sign up for it.  Why is the Pentagon grasping to
get people in the military right now?

Let's start calling it like it is--Iraq wasn't an 'immediate' threat to the US
and Osama is still making videos.

There's really no getting around that.

(...) I'm saying that the MSM objects to Bush's handling of the war, so that is the opinion of the GP. Don't you think people would have a better view of the war if the MSM portrayed it in a better light? Seriously, I honestly believe that the media (...)
