To this day I don't know what this war has accomplished? We are still not safe, Bin Ladden is still runnin free. Our gas prices are soaring and this President has screwed our economy so badly until now only an act of GOD can put it back together. We have all of this and deal with and we as americans wonder what will happen next?
Rosie and Paris Hilton continue to fascinate the world and I really don't understand that one either but this is America land of the free, Home of the brave!!! Those parents that lost your children in this war please know that GOD is gonna judge this war too!

"Delusion of grandeur", is someone that is so mesmerized with him/herself until his/her thoughts, perceptions, and visualizations of his/her surroundings/environment are clouded by his/her grandiose ideological beliefs, which are often jaded and unrealistic.

Like someone who reads comments others have made and taking the meaning literally out of context and re-interpreting it based on his/her delusional thoughts, perceptions, and visualizations, of which yes indeed this individual is "full of him/herself".

This applies to those posters that relentlessly attack Rosie based on their myopic[nearsidedness] and grandiose ideology["rightness"], on every word or statement she makes without fully examining its content, in order to make a non-judgmental, unbiased, and non-grandiose argument.

And the entire vicious "lesbian" attacks, not by you, I hope, but by others validates my argument of "delusional grandiose thinking".

Viciously attacking someone based on race, se@ual orientation, religion, etc., because you don't agree with their stance on political issues only proves "the grandiose feeling of rightness".

It's expensive, but definitely a lot of fun!

The fact is, the war was based on lies, is illegal and morally wrong. We attacked people who had done nothing to us then turned around and declared ourselves their heros. That takes a HUGE amount of hypocrisy.


George Bush must think the war is illegal too. Despite the remarks to his base....Bush had Congress grant him immunity from WAr crimes commited retroactively from the time of the invasion to present. He and all who participate cannot domestically be charged with war crimes. (unless the law is revoked) he did this in 2006.

Also, Bush had himself granted immunity from FISA--you know the law he broke but claimed he didn't. People do not have immunity for good things, they ususally do it when they know they did something bad.

In 2005, Bush had our names removed as signatories of the Geneva Convention and refused to join the World Court. This violated the 11th amendment (article 9, I believe) of our own constitution. He had to do this, or be guilty of war crimes internationally for torture, detainment and possibly even starting the war without provocation from a sovereign nation. International laws cannot be dismissed or granted immunity by the SCOTUS or our Congress. This is in our constitution. WE have to obey international treaties, pacts/laws that we sign. So you can see why Bush had to have our names taken off after over 60 years of it being on the document.

I can't speak to Rosie's statements because I only watched the view once, when Starr was still there. But I do know that most Americans now feel the war was a mistake and morally wrong. As to our fighting our war in Iraq, so we don't have to fight it here.... There is nothing more cowardly than advocating anyone anywhere fight, so we don't have to assume our own battles on our own soil. Sort of like a person picking up a baby to fend off bullets from a shooter. People with honor, fight their own battles and fight it on their own turf--they don't do proxy--because they do not need to spread their suffering around.

I have 5 children. Though I would hate to see them harmed or my city/country destroyed--if my "freedom" really means something to me, as well as my honor--then I OWE it to want my battles to be HERE, and for myself to fight. That is honor. Not killing people in another country and shrugging it off or talking about 9/11 when we already know the people we are killing were never involved and the ones who were are our buddies and soon to be home of Halliburton.

The whole REASON I am 'safe in my home' and 'behind a monitor' is BECAUSE of the war. It's BECAUSE of our wonderful troops that are fighting for our FREEDOM and are making sure that 9/11 doesn't happen again -Eitakj at 12:09 PM : Jun 27, 2007

Have to disagree with this and point out the obvious. After the first WTC bombing which occured less than a month into Clinton's first term...Clinton did not Blame George Bush Sr and there was not another attack until 9/1/01. So we might want to lay off the crowing. Since Clinton gave us 10 terror free yrs..... Terrorists attacks are made to undermine a government and to promote instability and mistrust in a target group. There is no reason to have another attack since this one is still working so well for the terrorists. I mean, we are now advocating torture, concentration camps and invading countries and "killing/liberating" people without their consent. The fact is, the war was based on lies, is illegal and morally wrong. We attacked people who had done nothing to us then turned around and declared ourselves their heros. That takes a HUGE amount of hypocrisy.

Cheeky Gal, I realize that you are trying to sound as if you are AGAINST the war with your 'cheeky' comments, but you keep contradicting yourself. You say, 'Get out of the U.S. and live elsewhere in a dictatorship' - But the whole reason I am siding WITH our country and am supporting our troops is so that America doesn't turn into a dictatorship. YOU must want to live in a dictatorship under Osama's rule.


I, for one, will NEVER forget the atrocities that happened on 9/11/01. I will always SUPPORT our troops - 100% - they're risking their lives to make sure that we will always have our FREEDOM! They are making sure that my son, who is only 2, will never have to live through a 9/11 like I did.

THANK YOU TO ALL SERVICEMEN IN THE ARMED FORCES - PAST, PRESENT, & FUTURE! *****GOD BLESS AMERICA!***** DON'T LET THE TERRORISTS WIN!

[eitakj]

No, Cheeky Gal, this war means a LOT to me. The whole REASON I am 'safe in my home' and 'behind a monitor' is BECAUSE of the war. It's BECAUSE of our wonderful troops that are fighting for our FREEDOM and are making sure that 9/11 doesn't happen again - not on their watch. Thank you for pointing that out to us. Maybe you're not so "Cheeky" after all.

[cheekygal-2009]

"Not one single person can or ever has said the Iraqis or Saddam had anything to do with 9/11."

Except of course the dictator-in-chief and his criminal war-mongering co-horts!!!!!!! Their lies have led Americans and America on a path from which we may never recover.

Cowards kill!!!

[cheekygal-2009]

What a bunch of sicko flockers that post on these boards. Cowardly *** most who sit behind a monitor spouting hate for those who oppose an illegal war and the deaths of thousands innocents means nothing to them as long as they are safe in their homes and far from the battle.

It is people like you cowards who should go and live in a dictatorship of your choice since you so love the dictator-in-chief sitting in the highest office of the U.S. Not one single person can or ever has said the Iraqis or Saddam had anything to do with 9/11. You people are so blinded and when the roll is called up yonder you certainly will not be included. SICKOS abound in the U.S.

Rosie NEVER called the soldiers terrorist, but the terrorist-in-chief and his jihadists Cheney, Rummy, Condi, Wolfowitz, Rove and Bremmer are just that! If there is a God he will smite these people and those who follow them like blinded sheep.

Sad day for America that you cowards would allow this. Get out of the U.S. and live elsewhere in a dictatorship.
