re: #60 Buck

Tu quoque, and Magical Balance Fairies are, in my mind used way too much around here.

Constantly used to defend liberals, but it is forbidden to defend conservatives. Only the left can refer to Iraq without the “Tu quoque”.

Sometimes it is relevant that a person has been inconsistent in their support for policies.

You call it pathetic, but I think it is a good point that the guy who when he courted the anti war left would NOT have supported the actions he currently engages in.

Guantanamo, cruise missiles in Pakistan, the surge in Afghanistan and now Libya. Those are some examples of being inconsistent on a very basic policy beliefs.

At the very least I recall Obama tried to be consistent on Guantanamo and he failed due to the lack of support among the congress to vote for closing it and moving it elsewhere.

Also are you trying to say that there is a valid comparison to be drawn between the US’s actions in Iraq and Lybia at the moment Buck?
