What Do You Know, We DID Go In With A Plan

Here is liberal hysteric, Bill Maher ranting on Iraq (Scarborough Country 9-18-06):

"That doesn‘t mean they would have done what George Bush did, which is to invade that country. That probably would have done what a lot of people were suggesting, which is leave the inspectors there to do their job, have him contained...He was contained...we would be better off with Saddam Hussein in power...I think it‘s pretty funny that we‘ve gotten around to screwing up this war so badly that Saddam Hussein does not look like that bad an option...Just having this idea in their neocon heads that, when we arrive, we would be greeted as liberators, they would throw flowers at us. And so we didn‘t really need a plan. Why didn‘t we have the plan?...when people like me ask questions about, does it still make sense to have these troops under fire? That is supporting the troops. Asking for a plan is supporting the troops. Sitting around and parsing the meaning of civil war, that‘s not supporting the troops..."

Every left-wing hysteric from Bill Maher to John Kerry, to the New York Times has perpetuated the myth that Bush invaded Iraq without a plan. The New York Times recently accidentally debunked its own DNC hype, trying to explain a recent report on the complications in Iraq's reconstruction:

"The first official history of the $25 billion American reconstruction effort in Iraq depicts a program hobbled from the outset by gross understaffing, a lack of technical expertise, bureaucratic infighting, secrecy and constantly increasing security costs, according to a preliminary draft.

The document, which begins with the secret prewar planning for reconstruction and touches on nearly every phase of the program through 2005, was assembled by the office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction and debated last month in a closed forum by roughly two dozen experts from outside the office."

The New York Times. January 24, 2006. Section A; Column 1; Foreign Desk; Pg. 1. "IRAQ REBUILDING BADLY HOBBLED, U.S. REPORT FINDS." JAMES GLANZ.


So..it turns out there was a plan all along...so...liberals have just been blatantly lying all along? Yes.

As for the rest of Maher's left-wing stupidity...

1) "That doesn‘t mean they would have done what George Bush did, which is to invade that country. That probably would have done what a lot of people were suggesting, which is leave the inspectors there to do their job, have him contained...He was contained...we would be better off with Saddam Hussein in power..."

2) "Just having this idea in their neocon heads that, when we arrive, we would be greeted as liberators..."

3) "...when people like me ask questions about, does it still make sense to have these troops under fire? That is supporting the troops."

4) "Asking for a plan is supporting the troops. Sitting around and parsing the meaning of civil war, that‘s not supporting the troops..."


1) Yeah, 15 years of exhaustive diplomacy failure was not enough. We over-reacted to 9/11 by taking out a harmless genocidal terror-sponsor with WMD, with a penchant for starting wars and firing missiles at Israel. This is why liberals don't win elections anymore. They side with the enemy on everything.

2) We were. All the polls for the first few years showed overwhelming support for our liberation of their country (every Marine I know who has come back from there said they WERE initially very thankful). It wasn't until after foreign terror groups came in and started organizing campaigns against us that they turned on us.

3) Undermining the war encourages the enemy. This is not rocket science. And visionlessly advocating retreat the way liberals do is advocating putting the troops in harm's way far more than standing up to them is. For proof of this, see the results of Bill Clinton retreating from Bin Laden in Somalia-Bin Laden is a hero, Al Queda recruitment becomes effortless.

4) Asking for a plan is phony posturing. The plan has been spelled out for liberals every time they've pretended not to know about it. Defending the mission in Iraq by pointing out that "civil war" indicates a widespread movement rather than what is going on there-Iranian clerics stirring up insurrection-is called setting the record straight.

As usual, arguments from hysterics like Maher don't withstand one moment of serious scrutiny.
