    so let me see if i have this straight......

    at the begining you said sadam is a threat kill him

    then for the past 5 years all yall have been saying there are not enough troops, you didn't send enough troops, you need more troops to win the peace

    now that we want to send more troops you all are against it....

    About effin' time Congress stood up to the wannabe emperor and put him on notice that they don't approve!

    He got us into this war on false pretenses and now we're in a royal mess. I no longer believe anything Bush says and I certainly have no confidence that he can clean up the mess left by his decisions.

    There's only one reason we are in a "royal mess" ! Democrats would not get behind the war effort. I like the way they sabotage a plan and then bitch because it didn't work out right.

    Now that's a downright disingenious argument, considering that until this year, Bush had a GOP-controlled Congress that gave him everything he wanted. The Dems didn't have the power or clout to "sabotage" Bush's war.

    Bullshit---the liberals and the media did everything in thier power to present a divided front to the enemy which is EXACTY what the enemy was depending on. If we had fought the war as a untited country it would be over but there is no way in hell the Liberals were going to let conservatives relish a victory.

    Since you clearly can't abide dissent - which I thought was what made this country so great - then I can only suggest that you move to a country where "unity" is strictly enforced - like North Korea or Cuba.

    Hogwash---Dissent forth sake of screwing over the other party is nothing but whiney carping. Real dissent offers alternatives.

    It's actually bullshit. Bush has been able to do pretty much anything he wanted to do, thanks to a GOP-controlled Congress that gave him almost anything he wanted.

    To suggest that he has been hamstrung by dissenters, and to insinuate that those who disapprove of this war are traitors, is simply preposterous.

    It's actually right on the money. Our enemy has been emboldened by the left's whining about our President. They sense, and rightly so, that with a turn to the Dems, our country will not have the will to fight them. And by the time we finally wake up to how deadly serious they are, they will have made irreversible inroads.

    Wrong----they don't dissaprove of the war--they dissaprove of America being a sovereign country and conservatives. If there wasn't a war the would be whinng about somethig else.

    That's a serious allegation. Care to provide some evidence to back it up? I've challenged a few right wingers like you to do just that, and their usual reaction is either to cut and run, or hurl personal insults.

    Provide me with some evidence that the liberals were more invested than winning the war than bitching about how it all started.

    So you believe that troops should not be sent to war or situations where they could get maimed or killed?
