14. That tactic should be against international law if it isn't already.
This attests to the inhumanity of the Bush administration. Are they suggesting that they are using the Iraqi people to catch bullets meant for us or bullets that would have been aimed at us had the Bush administration not lured the shooters to Iraq?

OK, so Bush doesn't understand morality or moral values or arguments based on morality or moral values. Isn't it stupid in any event to purposely attract terrorists to a country that possesses so much of that precious commodity, oil? What if the terrorists win and grab the oil? Bush's tactic is unbelievably stupid. If he wanted to attract the terrorists somewhere where we would have every tactical advantage and the stakes were low enough that losing would not cause us irreparable harm, why didn't he just fight the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan where they always were and had chosen to be and leave Iraq alone? Afghanistan and Pakistan actually have a lot of the extremists that support and are the terrorists and they don't have oil. How stupid. I hope the MSM is not falling for this idiotic argument.
