Who said the euros set policy? The question posed was whether there was anyone who figured out the lack of WMD's beforehand (answer - yes, literally millions figured it out including more than 120 Dems in congress) and the second question posed was whether there really were millions marching (yes, there were and I gave the links).

You are mistaken if you take quotes from "some local protesters in Orlando" as speaking for the Democratic party. FYI the real Dems and the guys we elect
supported the war in Afghanistan and criticized the invasion of Iraq for (among other reasons) causing us to let Osama get away when troops and other assets were pulled from Afghan. and sent to Iraq.
It wasnt old hippies protesting though Repubs like to imagine so. My wife and I were there and found that the average age of the people around us was somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 or 50 with lots of grandmas and grandpas and people with kids in strollers, etc. It was certainly NOT a bunch of dirty hippies though they are far more fun to take pictures of than fat boring middle aged people.
And you are just smearing Dems when you claim they know nothing about the military. Ask yourself why the Dems have so many military people running for Congress. If you dont know who they are, check a few of them out - Jim Webb, Tester, Sestak, the list goes on and includes some of the most decorated and highest ranking soldiers around. You are confusing disagreement over the orders the administration gave to the army with support for the army itself. Not the same thing at all.
As for my own opinion ( a liberal dem) I think we should send the marines and as much of the army as it takes to get Osama wherever he is and if anyone complains about it tell them to shove it up their ass because we are in hot pursuit of a murderer who killed 3000 Americans. Repubs on this thread have disagreed because they are afraid the Pakistanis would get mad at us, but my view is quite common among liberals. We think Bush took his eye off the ball and let Osama get away with what he did.
