…AirborneInfidel:

“1)where were the anti-war protests when Clinton deployed us to both Kosovo and Somalia? (are Democrat wars good and Republican wars bad?)”

There was anti-war rhetoric. Interestingly most of the anti-war rhetoric for the Kosovo invasion was by Republicans (Delay, Lott, Hannity, Snow, etc.) http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/18/161016/461 The irony is that Kosovo was a success, unlike Iraq.

“2)why is it okay to use deadly force to stop genocide in Darfur but not to stop a murderous dictator in Iraq who used chemical weapons to kill over 100,000 Kurds? (by the way, that’s mass destruction by anyone’s figures).”

And why didn’t Reagan do something about it when it happened…20 YEARS AGO? Or Bush 41? Hint: we didn’t care about the Kurds and still don’t. Sadam was a murderous dictator for years and we supported him with our money and rhetoric. Only when he no served our needs did we suddenly get a concience about the Kurds.

“3)Is reacharound reaching for a javelin, perhaps?”
I dunno.
