Conflict In Iraq

[dirt mcgirt]

The opposion of the war is coming from the liberal democrats and not from the American people. It's coming from the liberal controled media as well. And I BLAME THE DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA FOR EVERY AMERICAN KILLED IN IRAQ!

It's a clear majority of Americans, both Repub, Dem, liberal, and con, who now think the war was a mistake. Blaming the democrats and the media for every American killed in Iraq would be intellectually dishonest. This war was poorly planned and conducted in an ineffective manner. Like it or not, the Repubs had a clear majority during Iraq and the Dumbocrats were nothing more than powerless dweebs. This latest troop surge should have happened two years ago when it mattered. An additional 100,000 troops were needed to seal the borders and provide extra security in the city. We came in there ill-equipped and unprepared. Our Soldiers never should have had to personally buy body armor from US Cavalry or e-bay and have it shipped over from the States. The Iraqi Army never should have been disbanded. And Al Sadr should have been taken out from the get go. The libtards had nothing to do with those blunders.

:bullshit:

It's easy to sit in your safe harbor and sharp-shoot, isn't it?

Nancy *hooker* Pelosi can't do shit when it comes to telling the president what he can and can't do in Iraq. She's about ten sizes too big for her britches already.

:bullshit:

Majority of Americans who think the war was a mistake > 50%. They are made up of Repubs, Dems, Cons, and Libs. It's not bullshit, it's reality. Look at the poll numbers.

61 percent oppose Iraq troop surge, poll finds


Seven-in-Ten Americans Would Exit Iraq in 2008


The CBS poll shows 43-percent of Americans want the nation to keep fighting the war but with a different strategy. 52-percent says it’s time for the US to start ending its involvement. Only three-percent want us to continue on the same course and two out of three now believe that it wasn’t worth it to remove Saddam Hussein from power.


More troops unhappy with Bush's course in Iraq, poll finds

A majority of people don't know what they are talking about when it comes to geopolitics and waging war.

Do you?

[Dilloduck]

Do you?

Certainly not.

[Dilloduck]

Do you?

How about you Grump? Would you be comfortable if our generals or politicians looked to you for advice and followed it ? Do you know enough to make the call and be responsible for the results ?

[Gaffer]

Fortunately Bush doesn't make his decissions based on polls. Most people on the street couldn't even tell you who nancy poloski is or dick channey. For that matter ask em who their own senator is. The media tells em iraq is bad so they think it is.

ijusttiredofBush sounds like an arab troll. Wonder if I can get him excited?

If they would carry out the strategy and tactics I laid out? Damned rights I'd take the responsibility. Hell, put me back in uniform, give me my weapon and I'll lead the damned thing from the front.

Other than telling them not to go in the first place, and come home now, no, I wouldn't. I'd let Gunny and CSM do it...

I speak as a former veteran and as the husband of an active duty Soldier. I've lost several friends and neighbors in Iraq and currently have several family members serving in theater. Don't throw your keyboard warrior, college republican bit at me.

I'll answer for dmp, since I know him. He happens to be a veteran, having served an overseas tour. I know he has several friends/colleagues who have deployed. So when he speaks about the military, he speaks from the veteran standpoint as well. So do I, having served five years on active duty. So do a few others around here. You aren't the only vet on this MB.
