So you have no opinion, then, on casualty estimates?

J. W. asked about my beliefs, not about my opinion. Since your remark makes an inference about opinion, it must refer to my criticism of your posts on the thread following PJB'S November 17 article "Is America A Serious Nation?"

On that thread, you made some claims about casualty figures, among other things, that I thought were inaccurate, so I spent a couple of days reading articles and looking around in the published studies on this and used the results as evidence to argue that you were wrong. You had ample opportunity to defend your position, but did not. Slipping in a one-liner weeks later insinuating that because I declined to declare a belief about one thing, I am disqualified from arguing a position on another matter altogether, is a cheap shot that doesn't even have the merit of being logical.

There are some "Progressive" aspects of Beard that may jar a bit, but he provides a great antidote to the lying Republican nationalist
historians and the liberal court historians too.

I have no "beliefs" about Iraq, and in my opinion no one should. I can and do hope that, from amid all the drifts of paper, the din of rhetoric, alarms, charges, counter-charges, there will slowly emerge the truth. If that happens before I die, then I will have something to believe, but not before.

Do you believe the war in Iraq was a war of necessity or that it was a just war?

The Democrats have been the traitor party since the 40's when they sold Eastern Europe to their fellow reds for one more term for the moral and physical cripple they had set upon decent Americans so he could complete his work of destroying their remaining moral fiber; they redoubled in treachery in the 50's when their atomic spies saw to it that generations of Americans would have to grow up in terror of nuclear incineration; they robbed my parents of their candidate when they stole their votes here in Chicago in '60; in 1968, they sold out American fighting men who had just shattered the massive Tet offensive, in the greatest counterattack since the Battle Of The Bulge; and again in '91 when by following their foul instincts they were unerringly led to an obscure traitor and draft-dodger. The democrat party should have been disbanded and its minions disenfranchised long ago.

"Covey, to whom President Obama made a promise, could just as well be an Afghan peasant. She doesn’t count any more than the thousands of Afghans who have been murdered in their sleep by U.S. air strikes on “terrorists.”
Blow it out yer ass, Roberts: that number is a putrid lie to begin with and what deaths there are by airstrike are on the Taliban who live with them for the express purpose of getting them killed but not before they rape their little boys.

"She voted for a president who spent all the money on wars based in lies and deceptions ...."

Again, you would know about lies - how much are you getting to shill for Kucinich?

I'm not so fond of Alexander Hamilton myself, but many paleos such as Buchanan are. There must be something to the man after all. I just cannot imagine what it is.
