MY "talking points"...HELL YES I'm ANGRY!!! Like ALL SANE people are.
10 US soldiers killed on Labor Day (yesterday).

For what???

No "WMD".

No ties to 911.

No ties to bin Laden, al Qaeda, or any other international terrorist organizations.

No threat to neighboring nations, let alone to America.

No "humanitarian intervention".

No chance of "spreading democracy".

On the "plus side" according to bushLogic;

MORE US soldiers killed in Iraq than were killed in the first 4 years of Vietnam..and that was when the US dead in Iraq hit 500...
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/01/18/MNGB44CJKR1.DTL&type=printable

MORE worldwide terrorist attacks & deaths...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3796185.stm

MORE danger from terrorist attacks...
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,642825,00.html

MORE chance of Iraq descending into full-blown war...
http://www.riia.org/pdf/research/mep/BP0904.pdf?PHPSESSID=d791910e393faebed490aa976d2bffdb

MORE US soldiers killed AFTER the capture of Saddam Hussein than BEFORE...

3. It's all about . . .
. . . OIL.

Newt Gingrich let the cat out of the bag yesterday on Meet the Press.

. . . what Pat (Buchanan) said is true but people have to listen carefully to what he said. He said basically if we would pull out of the biggest oil region on the planet, allow people like bin Laden to dominate the oil supply of the entire industrial world, give up the right to have female American soldiers go in places that bin Laden defines--and remember, the al-Qaeda irreconcilables define Spain as al-Jazeera and argue that they have a right to reclaim Spain, and some of them have demand that Rome become a Muslim city. So it's a little bit too easy to say, "Gee, if only we betrayed Israel and abandoned democracy in the Middle East and withdrew from the region, everything would work."

Try to describe a world in which for the last 35 or 40 years, the U.S. has not provided stability for world's oil supply and you're describing a world where you have $200 or $300 a barrel gasoline, and, by the way, where all the money ends up going into the pockets of people who hate us, who've already publicly said Europe comes next.

8. It's scary when you find yourself agreeing with Pat Buchanan
I had to keep saying to myself 'Yea Pat, but you're still an asshole"
