Dennis Prager shows why the Left's claim that they "Support the Troops" is absolutely illogical. Thanks to LGF.

The Left’s message is this: “You troops may think you are winning; you may think you are doing good and moral things in Iraq; you may believe you are fighting the worst human beings of our age and protecting us against the scourge of Islamic terror. But we on the Left believe none of that. We believe this war is being fought for oil and for Halliburton and other corporations; we believe you are waging a war that is both illegal and immoral; we believe you have invaded a country for no good reason and have killed a hundred thousand Iraqis [the Left’s generally mentioned number] for no good reason; but, hey, we sure do support you.”

Honest people on the Left need to understand that the two positions are not reconcilable. A German citizen during World War II could not have argued: “The Nazi regime’s army is engaged in an evil war of aggression and is slaughtering millions of innocent people, and I therefore completely oppose this war, but I sure do support the Nazi troops.


Or as Senator Dick Durbin would say our "Nazi-like" troops.
