People who were behind the 'flypaper theory' should be tried...

for Crimes against Humanity.

Basically the 'we have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over there' is:

1. Incorrect, the Terrorists have actually spread

2. Agitates Combatants

It got the terrorists 'stuck' in Iraq.

'Stuck' does not mean they are actually stuck. Instead Iraq is now a huge base for Terrorists that attack Civilians and American soldiers alike.

The person(s) behind the 'flypaper theory' are among some of the most insidious war criminals.

1. Scotty McZeigler actually used that line today, several times

Straight face and all...

[SeveneightyWhoa]

2. Plus, it implies that other human beings are less..

..worthy of living than American ones.

Who gives a damn about Iraqi's? They're dying in huge numbers instead of Americans! (That, of course, is the policy at its BEST, when bombs AREN'T going off in Britain.)

What a policy.

3. Well...in the 9/11 commission hearings didn't

Rice say that Bush was tired of "swatting flies"? Guess he decided to get some fly paper to save his arm.

4. Iraq... "The engine of the New Terrorist Machine"

Turning them out at a record rate.. and catapulting them worldwide..
Centripetal force run amok...

5. We're sending our dogs of war to shit in our neighbor's yard.

What's immoral on a personal level is an atrocity at a global scale.

6. It isn't policy, it is just an excuse -- to explain why Iraq is so bad

I don't think the "flypaper theory" actually affects anything -- just another excuse/
