Three simple questions about Iraq

Kos gets it exactly right in just three simple questions:

Funny how after three years of war in Iraq, war supporters still can’t answer these three simple questions:

1. How does sending our troops to Iraq, separating them form their families and loved ones, putting them in harm’s way, and keeping them there equal “supporting the troops”?

2. Why do those who claim to “honor their sacrifices” want them to continue sacrificing?

3. Why don’t those who bloviate about “supporting” and “honoring” the troops against an enemy they think threatens Western civilization actually, you know, put on combat boots and join them?

Operation Yellow Elephant has been asking that last question for nearly a year. If there is a serious effort being made to recruit young Republicans into the armed forces, it’s been kept well-hidden.
