Why do liberals hate a man who takes the war away from here? Like a magnet, he draws them away.?

Because liberals, in general, lack a basic understanding of the what military does and what is accomplishes. And any Commander in Chief who places his utmost trust in the military must be inherently bad.\n\nThe modern-day liberal's distrust of the military dates back to Vietnam and Watergate. The lesson they have drawn from those experiences is that the government cannot be trusted in any way with anything. Unless, of course, it is THEIR government.\n\nKhalid Sheikh Mohamed (that ugly, hairy guy that was arrested in Pakistan a year or so back) was the architect of 9/11. He has stated during interrogation that al Qaida had planned more attacks for 2001 and early 2002. the ONLY thing that stop them was President Bush's response. They had expected only a couple of cruise missiles sent to terrorist training camps - as was the usual response throughout the 1990s.\n\nConsider the following:\n\n* 1993 - al Qaida bombs the World Trade Center for the first time.\n* 1995 - al Qaida bombs Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia.\n* 1998 - al Qaida bombs two US embassies in Africa.\n* 2000 - al Qaida bombs the USS Cole.\n* 2001 - al Qaida destroys the World Trade Center complex killing 3000.\n\nAl Qaida declared war on American in 1993, and nothing was done. Every couple of years al Qaida attacked us again, and nothing was done.\n\nNothing was done, that is, until President Bush had a chance to respond. And there has not been an attack since.

liberalism is a mental disorder.  obviously you have no idea who your enemy really is; and that will serve that enemy.

Look at the responses to your question. Liberals hate bush to the point of stupidity. He can do no good no matter what. Clinton sends troops to Bosnia and they accept that without ANY protest (they are still there even though Clinton promised they would return in one year), our troops are dragged through the streets of Somalia (that's ok because a liberal sent them there). As much as liberals like to think of themselves as open minded and non-judgmental they are neither. If you know a liberal this is a great joke to play. Read the paper in the morning and look for a quote from any liberal (i.e. Hillary, Teddy, Nancy P. etc.) attribute it to Bush and the liberal will spew hatred at the comment and say, "what an idiot", when you correct the source they will get upset and leave. If you do the same to a conservative they will usually say something like, "well that is stupid" and still disagree. Conservatives are better on the ideological which hurts us politically but it's better than being a liberal.

All of a sudden the view has changed that if you're liberal you hate America.  Why?  I just don't understand this rationale!  Just because we will not accept civil rights abuse, pointless deaths caused by war and harm to our environment?  To me, these things sound like GOOD things for our country, no matter the political party.\n\nI hate that people think that Liberals hate our troops overseas too.  I don't hate our troops at all, actually I support them.\n\nI support them in coming home from this waste of a war!

Liberals are not bothered by his comments or lack of apology, since they think the military is a waste of tax-payer money, anyway.\n\nThey would rather spend the money helping us become a welfare state.

It is a knee jerk reaction from the liberals to hate President Bush;)\n\nThough I do not like everything my President is doing, I do like him and I know he is a good Christian man doing the best he can in a very difficult job.

Lazy, uncritical thinkers make this comparison, but history will show otherwise. Many democracies have shaky starts, it just takes awhile for things to settle out. Germany was in a state of chaos for awhile after WW II - similar to what we are seeing in Iraq... Not all the Nazi sympathizers wanted to go quietly...\n\nFrom reading history, all the whining and bellyaching by liberals are just like all the anti-war, pro-slavery Democrats during the Civil War, who hated Lincoln and considered him the worst president this country ever had. They said that the war was not winnable, that we should look to make peace with the Confederacy and just leave them alone... Democrats and liberals think that being anti-war is some kind of great virtue. They would rather slink away with their tails betwixt their legs than stand up for what is right. Iraq will get it right, and will be a beacon of hope for the rest of the Middle East. \n\n2,500 soldiers killed is a steep price, and I salute their sacrifice and mourn their loss. They have not died in vain, and their sacrifices will help to build a more stable Iraq, which will lend itself to stabilizing the entire Middle East. The media and liberals (sorry, that was redundant) only want to focus on the negatives, so a lot of what has already been accomplished is being overlooked or ignored.\n\nHistory will record that George W. Bush made the right choice to invade Iraq, and the naysayers will continue to hate him regardless of the outcome.

Friend - Liberal here, and pacifist.  Though much of war is ugly and sad, yes, good does come of wars.  There are the thousand little good things that happen every day...friendships made, some one lost is found, a child smiles...and the greater good, such as the end of the reign of Hitler...and yes, even of Saddam.  I am also a pragmatic liberal pacifist who realizes there will be wars as long as man lives on earth to wage them, just as there always has been.  Whether the good outweighs the bad, I cannot say.  Ask me when my son is safely home from Iraq for the last time...and do not be so quick to predict what a liberal will say.  Grace and Peace

Yep yeppedy yep. Me too. I don't think they want any harrassment... or embarrassment. I mean, they like to live in Cloud Cuckoo Land and any serious dissenters could possibly break down the psychological barriers that they've put in place to combat COMMON SENSE.\n\nYes they are wimps because they made their bed in 2000 and now that the country is sliding down the toilet, and the world hates us, they don't want to be seen back-peddling. What they do instead is produce paper thin statistics and spend all day desperately trying to prove that Liberals are all tree-hugging idiots. For one thing, Liberals have demonstrated that they are the most clued up, intelligent folks in this country. And if any Republican wants to come to my house and tell me to my face that I'm a tree hugger I will gladly punch him in the face (ladies are exempt).\n\nOh, and just for the record...

Bill Clinton answered that when he basically did nothing about the attack on the USS Cole. Liberals hate anything military (more or less)

Why do liberals ask such stupid questions instead and try to tear our country apart instead of working together to make a stronger America???

It's over and your side won. Tell me why do you feel the need to keep bashing conservatives? This is typical of you libs, you never shut up with your hate speech and bashing regardless of if you win OR lose.\n\nMaybe, being a basher makes you more popular with your friends or something.

It goes to show you what liberal Democrats will do if they get control! Typical loony leftist liberal attitude toward our military. Are we really expected to believe that his insult was due to the fact that he can't tell a "GOOD JOKE"?? That dumb excuse proves that he thinks everyone is stupid & not just our troops!  He's always been an arrogant SOB & now he's proved it. He bit himself in the as-!

I did and do support this war, and I cry because we can;t get it right because of all the people against it. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. The soldiers are doing a good job keeping their moral up, but it's harder and harder on them when they know how half the country feel. I bet that makes them feel confident to go fight every day. When I hear the left talk in here, I try hard to think are they right? am I wrong? At least I try and weigh the odds. The left are always right. Blatantly right. Their hatred for Bush makes them never wonder, could they be wrong? Just once? Bush has not done one thing right in there eyes.

He is trying to do whats right under the best of his ability,however no matter how he handles this war the man cant do a thing right.The libs called for removal of Rumsfeld and when Bush got rid of him then the libs whined about that.As long as we have people like you that continue to see this mission as a failure,we dont need communists from other countries coming in,we have plenty here.

They just don't like what President Bush is doing right now with the War on Iraq,   They know that everything is going great with the economy, and that just drives them crazy.  Liberals seem to think more than act.

The liberal media will never be satisfied. They hate our country too much to care what happens to innocent Marines. They've already tried and hung them. They're not going to say I'm sorry and be all apologetic. They're going to bring up something else that they think is wrong with the military or the Bush Administration, and keep those Marines in jail even longer. They have such an intense hatred of anything Bush or anything that's right, that they couldn't imagine supporting the military. My brother's a Marine, in the same division. He knows the corpsman. The corpsman told Tim (my brother) that they weren't even close to the place where that incident happened. It's an outrage that someone could be so unAmerican.
