Iraqi troops now against the war. I told you so!! I told you!! Do you agree?

I agree. War never solved anything. I just can't understand those people who support the war, send their kids, and then blame it on Iraqis and Arabs if anything bad happened to them. Don't send them! Send Bush! If he wants the Oil so bad!

As simple as it sounds, this seems to be a loaded question because it could be interpreted in several different ways.   \n\nIf the question was, "Do you support our troops in Iraq?", my answer would be; absolutely, yes. If the question was "Would you have supported our war in Iraq before it was begun?", my answer would have to be no.  If the question was, "Do you support funding wars with taxpayer's money in which the primary mission is either to  A. oust a dictator  or  B. spread democracy?", I would feel pressed to say no.  There are homeland concerns that, I feel, need to be addressed first before we open ourselves to this type of international involvement.\n\nI support handing the situation in Iraq over to the newly formed government, so that we may consider there to be an END to our war in Iraq.

Yes!!\nI agree with you!!

J.Kerry meant it the way he said it. It was a put down for our troops serving bravely in Iraq.  Kerry is an idiot!  He does remind me of why I voted for G. Bush.

so wrong you are midnightmist. I'm in Iraq right now. And no, I don't need encouragement, making it home alive is all the encouragement most of us need. It is nice to have supporters though. Although, I don't agree with everything that's going on myself.\n\nI don't see why people think you can't support the troops if you don't support the war. As long as you wish us luck and pray for us, that's all the support we need. Regardless of how you feel about the actual war.

In a way, yes I do. \nI don't agree with people who say that the troops should be pulled out of Iraq. If we pull our troops out, then the terrorists will take over that country, and u can expect " a new Afghanistan under the Taliban regime". \n\nOur soldiers are doing their best to maintain order in Iraq.

Well...we were telling the truth.\n\nI know, Its hard for you to accept it and your whole ideology is crumbling down before you but the fact is...By invading Iraq we STOPPED saddam from making Nukes.\n\nthere it is in black and white in the old gray lady herself. \n\nNow why dont you come on over to the winning side. Youve been spoon fed lies.

yes I agree. Why should we give a fuck about Iraq when no one country does and the UN didnt even stand behind us? oh wait I know the answer to this! it wasn't a war to find nuclear weapons Bush JR wanted to finish what Bush SR started. I know A LOT of soldigers in Iraq and they say its bullshit. They don't even know why they're over there anymore... thats reddikulas!!!! We shouldn't step in everytime a country isn't running the way we want them to. How would we like it if a country sent in their troops to us and said hey, we don't like the way your running your country, we're going to make you into a comminust country.... we wouldn't like it just like they don't like it. And give me an f-ing break saying this is a war on terriorism... if that is true why didn't we go for Osama (the PERSON freaking responsible for the attacks on USA) instead of invading Iraq for Bush to finish his daddys war! UGH I can go on and on hehe.

Actually no, the troops are fighting for Bush's wallet. The troops are out there putting thier lives on the line and following orders. They are amazing and should be commended & supported 100%. Unfortunately the commander in chief is an idiot & a liar. This war isn't about freedom. It's about big business. Pretty much everything Bush & Cheney set into motion is about profiteering. Haliburton isn't even supplying the troops with so much as clean water. They've been drinking contaminated water for Christs sake! Most of them still don't get the sufficient armor they need & they're getting billed for it. The pentagon just released a report that there's less than 1 batallion of Iraqi troops able to defend themselves without the Americans. This iraq war is never going to end. Bush & Cheney have no interest in it ending. It will go on forever & they will continue to laugh all the way to the bank. Americans are not asked to make even the slightest sacrifice. Keep pissing away resources while our soldiers die every day. The 9 - 11 attackers are still out there and Bush has no interest in getting them. Why would he want to take out his long time business partner Bin Laden?

Monday, November 27, 2006\n  \n\nA LETTER FROM MICHAEL MOORE. CHECK IT OUT!\n\nFriends,\n\nTomorrow marks the day that we will have been in Iraq longer than we were in all of World War II.\n\nThat's right. We were able to defeat all of Nazi Germany, Mussolini, and the entire Japanese empire in LESS time than it's taken the world's only superpower to secure the road from the airport to downtown Baghdad.\n\nAnd we haven't even done THAT. After 1,347 days, in the same time it took us to took us to sweep across North Africa, storm the beaches of Italy, conquer the South Pacific, and liberate all of Western Europe, we cannot, after over 3 and 1/2 years, even take over a single highway and protect ourselves from a homemade device of two tin cans placed in a pothole. No wonder the cab fare from the airport into Baghdad is now running around $35,000 for the 25-minute ride. And that doesn't even include a friggin' helmet.\n\nIs this utter failure the fault of our troops? Hardly. That's because no amount of troops or choppers or democracy shot out of the barrel of a gun is ever going to "win" the war in Iraq. It is a lost war, lost because it never had a right to be won, lost because it was started by men who have never been to war, men who hide behind others sent to fight and die.\n\nLet's listen to what the Iraqi people are saying, according to a recent poll conducted by the University of Maryland:\n\n** 71% of all Iraqis now want the U.S. out of Iraq.\n\n** 61% of all Iraqis SUPPORT insurgent attacks on U.S. troops.\n\nYes, the vast majority of Iraqi citizens believe that our soldiers should be killed and maimed! So what the hell are we still doing there? Talk about not getting the hint.\n\nThere are many ways to liberate a country. Usually the residents of that country rise up and liberate themselves. That's how we did it. You can also do it through nonviolent, mass civil disobedience. That's how India did it. You can get the world to boycott a regime until they are so ostracized they capitulate. That's how South Africa did it. Or you can just wait them out and, sooner or later, the king's legions simply leave (sometimes just because they're too cold). That's how Canada did it.\n\nThe one way that DOESN'T work is to invade a country and tell the people, "We are here to liberate you!" -- when they have done NOTHING to liberate themselves. Where were all the suicide bombers when Saddam was oppressing them? Where were the insurgents planting bombs along the roadside as the evildoer Saddam's convoy passed them by? I guess ol' Saddam was a cruel despot -- but not cruel enough for thousands to risk their necks. "Oh no, Mike, they couldn't do that! Saddam would have had them killed!" Really? You don't think King George had any of the colonial insurgents killed? You don't think Patrick Henry or Tom Paine were afraid? That didn't stop them. When tens of thousands aren't willing to shed their own blood to remove a dictator, that should be the first clue that they aren't going to be willing participants when you decide you're going to do the liberating for them.\n\nA country can HELP another people overthrow a tyrant (that's what the French did for us in our revolution), but after you help them, you leave. Immediately. The French didn't stay and tell us how to set up our government. They didn't say, "we're not leaving because we want your natural resources." They left us to our own devices and it took us six years before we had an election. And then we had a bloody civil war. That's what happens, and history is full of these examples. The French didn't say, "Oh, we better stay in America, otherwise they're going to kill each other over that slavery issue!"\n\nThe only way a war of liberation has a chance of succeeding is if the oppressed people being liberated have their o

I support the troops in the fact that they are doing a job that they are ordered to do and they are risking their lives to do that job. I put fire fighters, policemen, etc. in the same category. I support them as well.\n\nI do not support the war in Iraq or the Bush administration. I think this war began on lies and deception. I think too many human lives have been lost, both American and Iraqi.\n\nIt's time to bring our men and women home, before any more lives are needlessly lost.

That guy can kiss my sweaty combat ass!! If he thinks he has the right to shout orders at US troops he is mistaken. Let's not forget who is in control here. WE ARE. The troops on the ground contol the military not some fat ass Iraqi. So screw him.

It is a shame that people are dying.  But the soldiers are in Iraq to try to better the lives of the Iraqi people as a whole.  I don't agree with war, but I also don't agree with oppression or dictatorships.  So it has me upset in more ways than one.  I do not want anymore people to get hurt, but what about all those that died under Hussein's regime?  One of those soldiers were from close to where I live...he was from Springfield, MA.  It does feel like it is never going to end.  I support the soldiers, for I know that they are doing their job, and it must be hell for them.  So I am a torn soul when it comes to this war.  I hope that the people involved are safe and no more harm comes to them...I can HOPE.

There are people who believe that not only believe that their opinion is better or more accurate than yours; they also believe that they are capable of making better decisions for you than are.I support this war. We owed this to the Iraqi people. In 1991, Iraqi citizens were waiting for the US and allies to come into Iraq after Sadam. We failed them then. We will not fail them now.Luckily, GWB has learned from his father's mistakes.\nOops I guess I explained....oh well!

You need help alright. If we are supposed to believe you are serious. Come on if you were really in Iraq how is it you are on this site? Gimme a break! <rolls eyes>

I agree. The media spends no time at all on the truth of what's happening in Iraq.\n\nWrite to your congress-critters and tell them to start backing the president pronto.

They do not support the troops.  The only thing they support is their own political opinions.\n\nTheir claims to support the troops are as hollow as their claims that they care about the Iraqi people.
