How so? Since my argument against the war has absolutely nothing to do with anything bin laden says.

Ask the man why she's getting beaten.
Thats the only answer I can think of off the top of my head.

Exactly the point. A reasoned response. I would have expected nothing less from you.
The whole Iraq fiasco is an unreasoned response to a threat that's looking more and more like it never existed in the first place and the worse it gets, the more unreasoning the responses become.
Regardless of what I personally thought at the beginning, you can't undo what's done. I think everyone who looks at the situation clearly and dispassionately understands that we will leave Iraq and we'll leave it in a worse state than we found it, regardless of what any of us thought of Saddam. From that point of view, sooner is better than later.
Re the title of this thread though, it's absolutely correct. The democrats have shown their true colors.
Question: What, specifically, has changed since the mid-term elections?
Answer: Absolutely nothing of any consequence.

Your opinions are influenced by what alQaeda, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, ABC, NBC, CBS, NY TIMES, LA TIMES, USA TODAY, NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE, TIME MAGAZINE, and ANY YELLOW JOURNALISM SPONSORED OPINION POLL tells you?
For America's safety that is exactly why the left should not be in charge of this country for the next half-century.
You really think the bleeding will stop if we leave Iraq?
I would be interested to read what you think the world would be like, with emphasis on the ME and the USA, if we did get out of Iraq.
I've always heard that radical Islam is the problem, and there are plenty of Muslims who feel their religion has been hijacked by a few.
"Victory in Iraq will come when Iraqi security forces can provide for the safety of their citizens, when terrorists can no longer threaten Iraq's democracy, and when Iraq is not a safe haven for terrorists to plot new attacks on the US." http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/iraq/iraq_strategy_nov2005.html
Besides, the administration declared victory years ago. We already won.
If you are speaking of the 2003 speech aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, wasn't Pres. Bush referring to "In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. Because of you, the members of the United States military, the tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free." Really, I believe in a war there is more than one mission.
A Baghdad plea: U.S. should stay and fight

I wasn't surprised when I saw Al Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, appear on Al Jazeera to announce America's defeat last week, not long after U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did. Zawahiri claims Al Qaeda has won, and Reid claims America has lost.
Those who prefer to bury their heads in the dirt today, and withdraw from this difficult fight, will be cursed forever for abandoning their duty when they were most capable. I don't understand why someone who has all the tools for victory would refuse to fight an enemy that reminds us every day that it is evil - with all the daily beheadings, torture and violations of all humane laws and values.
With America's help - and only with its help - the decent people of Iraq can still prevail.

You probably don't care, but I take anything any of those say with a grain of salt as a general rule. It's unwise to take what proven liar says at face value. That they occasionally draw similar conclusions simply proves that they're smarter than they seem.
I do notice that conservatives in general and you in particular base a lot of your comments directly on what al-Qaeda (they're the enemy, why do you believe them?) say in the media.

I was only pointing out the coincidence of how al-Q says the same things that the democrat party says.
Our enemy has access to our media outlets---why write their lines for them? It is in the least inflammatory, and in the most disloyal and subversive.

Anything that supports my specific point of view is evidence. Anything that does not agree with that point of view is, by definition, damned lies. Duh!

Disastrous compared to what?
It's their country---shouldn't they be the authority on what they think could happen to it??

If you pay attention, each faction seems to have a differing opinion about that. It's already a disaster.

Could be worse:
If we left Iraq Iran would take over the country. They would be closer geographically to fullfill their wish of seeing Israel erased off the map.
They would launch on Israel, who would respond with WMDs of their own, nuking Baghdad and killing millions. Pakistan responds against Israel with their own nuclear ballistic missiles, killing millions. The United States counterstrike takes out Pakistan, killing millions.
Inside of a week after Americans withdraw, there will be nearly one billion people killed in the ME. Due to radiation levels it will not be safe to venture there for at least a thousand years and oil production as we know it will cease to exist in the middle east. The whole world, what little is left of it, descends into an energy crisis and a nuclear winter, killing millions more.
Or we could continue to drain the swamp and escort the rest into the 21st century.
