to me, that's like saying the Patriots really didn't go about playing the Super Bowl the right way. sure, they won... but didn't you see them fumble? their running game was slow out of the gate! too many penalties!

OK look I could spend the next 2 hours typing up a thread attacking everythign you wrote, but I lack the motivation. I'm just gonna go after this one.
Anyone remember those old Goofus and Gallant strips in the Highlights magazine? Your statement rather put me in mind of them. . ..
1) The patriots had a firm exit strategy. They'd play the game for a few hours, then they'd go to the locker room and either curse or curse while pouring champagne all over each other, then they'd go home. Pretty good exit strategy. Even allowed for a variable depending on the outcome of the game.
The Bushites had one goal. Topple Saddam. Screw what happens after that, we'll worry about that when we come to it. One good idea: Let's declare victory long before the country's secure, that way maybe people won't notice the hundreds of soldiers that die after the "war is over."
2) The Patriots were honest with their fans about why they went to the game. They said "we're going to the game because we want to win it." They did not say "if we win the game, cancer will be cured so you guys should support us in going."
The Bushites didn't really worry about being honest about the reasons to go to war. WMDs? Sure it's bullshit, say it anyway, the sheeple will support us, then we'll claim we never said it and the sheeple will believe that too.
3) The patriots could afford the trip and the effort they put forward to achieve their goal.
The Bushites are borrowing left and right, driving the debt and deficit to higher-than-Reagan levels, and generally behave as though they grew up never having to know how to save money. Oh, wait...That IS how they grew up.
4) No one got killed when the Patriots went to the superbowl. Not even the refs.
5) The patriots actually won, and one year from now their victory will not be taken from them.
The Bushites are declaring a second early victory after the elections even though there is no evidence that the elections will be successful, nor is there evidence that this fledgling "democracy" will still be around this time next year.
Are you getting my point here? You're taking an unjust war that has killed well over a thousand Americans, countless others, and was waged for reasons that later turned out to have been a lie, and you're comparing it to a football game. Do you really expect us to take you seriously?
