    Ron Paul does not equal Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, so he must be a kook.

    Most polls showed that support for the invasion, depending on how the question is phrased, was at between 55-65% (58% according to CNN/USA Today, 57% according to the LA Times, and 67% according to Fox).

    Popular opinion in the US on the invasion of Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    It’s unequivocal that support for the Iraq war was high, and I remember seeing polls during the initial invasion when our military was marching to Baghdad that showed approval ratings as high as the low 90s in support of the war. No doubt that was because of patriotism.

    Furthermore, support for the war remained high for a while after Baghdad was captured and the shooting war was declared over. For instance and from the same source, “a Gallup poll made on behalf of CNN and the newspaper USA Today concluded that 79% of Americans thought the Iraq War was justified, with or without conclusive evidence of illegal weapons. [Only] 19% thought weapons were needed to justify the war.”

    As I said the war later became very unpopular, but that was because of the leftwing PC multicultural senseless way that Bush pursued the war. Had we left Iraq after the country had been scoured for WMD and Saddam was captured, without pursuing a silly fantasy based nation-building mission to lift up Muslims and win their hearts and minds, which is impossible, the war would have remained popular with the America people.

    Same thing with Afghanistan, had Bush limited the operation to the targeting and extermination only of OBL and AQ in retaliation for 9/11 instead of jumping into the middle of a civil war between the Northern Alliance and the Taliban we had no business budding into in the first place and then occupying the country like an idiot to pursue a silly fantasy based nation building while at the same time OBL and AQ were able to escape, that war either wouldn’t have turned into a fiasco.

    The reality is Bush was a stealth leftwing loon blinded by political correct multiculturalism and he identified with and listened to the leftwing hijacked State Department instead of his own Defense Department.

    I already proved it. Go back and read my first post regarding the matter.

    I think you might be a kook.

    I consider Sean Hannity to be a loon, because he thinks the greatest thing Bush did was the way he pursued the war. Sean Hannity is as blinded by political correct multiculturalism as Bush was.

    I don’t think you might be a kook. I know you are.

    Moreover, only young people who haven’t sowed their oats yet are naïve and gullible enough to support that kook.

    Once again you haven't proved anything. Put up or shut up.

    So why is Ron Paul a kook? And how is Hannity a loon, since you have made a distinction, at least in title, between conservatives and loons?
