Except that the evidence shows that he wasn’t. Unless, of course, you’re talking about Afghanistan, in which case most of the country, including most members of this board, would be in similar shoes.
Been wandering over quite a few interviews over the last several years, very similar to the one cited above by John. Similar in vague misgivings, uncertainty, a sense that maybe, just maybe, this isn’t the greatest things since the pedal steel was invented. Nuanced. Fukin’ oodles of nuance.
At the very least, this stands in considerable contrast to his statement, referenced above, that he “doesn’t support the Iraq war (and) never did”. And I think his attacks on the patriotism of Bush critics such as the Dixies speaks volumes, esp. when considered in the light of the images chosen.

It’s a shame that someone who makes such unique and beautiful music would be such an idiot. I haven’t felt this way since Chad Kroeger of Nickelback claimed that the Jews stole his cerebral cortex.

Well, to be fair to him, we did. It was the only way to get him to perform in such a terrible band.
I’ve still got it up in the attic someplace.

Huh.
The people on this board are confusing heart-on-your-sleeve patriotism with pro-war sentiment, something they constantly accuse right-wingers of doing.
I have no beef with Toby Keith, though my taste tends more toward George Jones or Merle when I’m listening to country.

Someone who displays this image at his concerts has more problems than “heart-on-your-sleeve patriotism”. Toby Keith is an asshat.

ooooooh, a clever variation of the classic “I know you are, but what am I”.
obviously some have underestimated you.

To you, perhaps.
As to the vastly more intelligent and excruciatingly humorous elucidator, I have no doubt the humor will not be lost.
He may not share in it, but he will at least recognize it.
I see I haven’t underestimated you.
Psst…btw, luci, it’s spelled Keith. Remember, it’s I before E except after C…except for all the times it isn’t.

That whatever FUTK means went whooshing right over my head.
Apparently so did the ability to quote the relevant post to communicate effectively.
My bad.
If you assume the “TK” part is Toby Keeth, the “FU” pretty much explains itself.

Ah. A more sober Oakie woulda grokked that. But it’s Friday night, and if I sober up, the terrorists win.

Actually the Dixie Chick in question explains that it stands for “Friends United in Truth and Kindness”.
No, really!
