We went to war again why?

Apparently, preemptive wars of liberation require a massive blood letting at the end, but Americans are just too fucking gutless to commit the necessary genocide.

So speaketh Ralph "Wiggum" Peters. And there's more:

Earlier this month, our Army released the results of an internally initiated survey of soldiers and Marines in Iraq. The results showed that almost half of our troops would condone torture in a specific instance if it saved their buddies' lives.

The media were, of course, appalled. I was shocked, too - surprised that so few of our troops would condone any action that kept their comrades alive.

If Iraq isn't Vietnam why is Peters using the same talking point the right-fantasized up to explain Vietnam?

But Peters is nothing if not Schizophrenic, six months ago (an "FU") he wrote:

Iraq could have turned out differently. It didn't. And we must be honest about it. We owe that much to our troops. They don't face the mere forfeiture of a few congressional seats but the loss of their lives. Our military is now being employed for political purposes. It's unworthy of our nation.

So if I understand the logic, kill as many Iraqis and then leave because that's the moral thing to do.

Is it any wonder he draws a paycheck from Rupert Murdoch? In three months, dude will be on the Wall Street Journal Editorial Page.
