At the risk of being repetitive, I'll say it again, but in different words...

The pretext for us being in Iraq is to remove an evil dictator who has not followed the "rules of engagement"...but instead has used his power to subvert those who are weaker and under his control.

How in God's name are the Iraqi people better off if we invade their country and then do the exact same thing, justifying it by saying "that's what our enemy does"?

We all know that the Administration's public reasons for invading Iraq are mere pretenses...not worth the paper they are written on...but in the interests of keeping up the sham, ought they not have one bit of tolerance for anything that makes us look like Saddam's death squads?

Ought not Dumbya's supporters show the same zero tolerance? If they are actually buying into the pretense, then it ought to be a no brainer to have zero tolerance. If they don't buy the pretense, but support the other reasons we are actually there, doesn't it still make sense to have zero tolerance to at least keep the pretense viable?

Fish on...
