56. That is what Republicans say about Democrats 'they WANT us to be attacked by terrorists'.

When we knew Bush was lying about the Iraq war and opposed it, Republicans claimed we were 'anti-American and were on the side of Terrorists'.

Your post isn't clear, is that what you are saying, that those of us who have been consistent in opposition to these wars, 'want terrorists to attack the US'?

Democrats who opposed Bush's illegal wars were proven to be correct btw, Iraq had no WMDs, nor was there any Al Queda in Iraq.

Now there is.
