After five years of war can only wonder how liberated they feel.

The truth is sometimes ugly & painful, eh, libs?  Not one intelligent rebuttle from any libs.  Emotions will never win over logic ( that's why Captian Kirk had Spock!)  For all the liberals with amnesia - During the 2004 Presidential State of the Union speech - I clearly remember Bush stating that Iraq, Iran & North Korea were the axis of evil and that countries that harbor terrorist would beheld accountable.  Have we forgotten that specch libs?

As a soldier I obviously have strong feelings about this question which are I would hope obvious enough not for me to point out here. \n\nI would like to mention something else though.  Many of the respondents have said "I support our troops but not the war."\n\nI have a very difficult time with this assessment.  Essentially what they are saying is that the soldiers are working for nothing.  We went to Iraq and removed a cruel dictator from power.  The fact that Hussein had chemical weapons was well documented by the thousands of Kurds he killed with them.  Had he agreed to allow documentation of their disposal (I believe he didn't because he sold them to other nations but that isn't a discussion for here) indicated a guilt.  The diplomatic process had failed years ago and whatever liberals think was not going to be reserected.\n\nMany of us do not necessarily agree with why we are at war but think that the ends do justify the means in this case.

You are not going to get an answer out of the people who say that.  They can't explain the things they say, they just know how to say it.\n\nOn the flip side, one can make the argument that the reason some countries in the U.N. did not vote to invade Iraq was due to oil.  Places like France and Russia have/had oil contracts with Iraq, and if they sanctioned an invasion, it would cost them their contracts.\n\nThe simple fact is, the simple minded liberals who make the war for oil claims can't see past the slogans their hero leaders like michael moore spew out of their mouths.\n\n-----\n\nmelvin, that is not a documentary.  That title was removed because it was proven to be full of half truths, and things taken out of context to reach a particular point.  Don't be so naive.\n\n----\n\nberen, I suggest you look at this question, and see if the timeline of statements adds up.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhuC2gSDmgjaTBRASaVYtdXsy6IX?qid=20060626222808AAHcTMM

Liberals do not want to stop fighting terrorism. They just feel that the "war on terrorism" has been perverted, and become a "war on everyone that pi$$es us off". Think about bin Laden for a minute. The neo-cons like to bring up 9/11 in every single speech they make, but what about bin Laden? He is responsible for 9/11. Where is he? Bush has gone from his primary objective being to bring bin Laden to justice to not thinking about him much. \n\nbin Laden is a terrorist who attacked America. Saddam is a terrorist who attacked his own people. Where should the majority of our troops be, defending America or defending Iraq?\n\nI support our troops 100%. It's the idiots in the government, most of whom have never fought in a war, that I don't support.\n\nBoth Liberals and Conservatives love America, but I say that if you love something or someone, then you are particularly concerned when that something or someone turns out to be broken or sick. When your child has a fever, you don't waste time bragging to everyone that he's an honor student, you take him to the doctor. And you don't accuse the doctor of hating your child when he points out that he has an infection. You thank the doctor, you get the prescription antibiotics, and you work hard to heal your child.\n\nBoth Liberals and Conservatives love America, but Conservatives seem to love America in a "my country can do no wrong" way. Conservatives act like the battered spouse in an abusive relationship. No matter how many times he comes home and beats her, he's still a good man.\n\nLiberals see America in a "let's make it better" way, like the sick child I mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, lately there have been a lot of liberals saying "America is sick" and very few saying "this is how we cure it".\n\nSorry, I strayed from the question.

I have a confession I'm a Liberal.  When people I know ask me I tell they that I'm a Democrat that is so far on the left wing that I fell off.  It's not that I'm imbarrised I just hate getting into it everytime someone ask me my party.  (LOL)  This is also a question that I ask myself everyday.  I don't want anymore lives lost over this war regardless of the country the person comes from.  I know that no time soon we will be leaving.  Bush has to much pride for that.  He will not back down from this war.  Hell, he can't adimit that he was wrong for prosueing Iraq.  I was against this from the begining.  I don't understand how our goverment and also fellow American got so side track from what we knew went on during 9/11.  I think we should have started with facts first then worry about solving all the detail to 9/11.  The facts were... we knew Osama Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11.  If we are going to war with him how did we end up in Iraq? We had no proof that Saddam Hussin had any thing to do with 9/11 and also we had no proof that Bin Laden was in Iraq.  Why are we there?  We still have a long time before we elect another president.  If the Americans can take the time to think for their selves they will vote for a Democratic president.  If we get one I strongly fill they will bring home the troops.  They probalaly will not bring them home at one time but within 2 yrs.  I think the Iraq war the first time was left unresolved by leaving Hussin president.  I don't think we should go to other countries and over throw their president but we wouldn't have a reason to be there this time.  This time to me is also stupid.  It is like another Vietinam.  We are accomplishing nothing.  I know they have been improvments their but look at all the lives that have been lost.  Most of the people in Iraq don't want us there.  They might want our help but they don't want a war in their country.  Their families are dying and at want cost to them.  So they can go vote for a president (that we had to approve of)  and know have a constuntion ( that we have to approve of).  They are told about all these desissions they are being allowed to make but they are chose from what we are allowing them to chose from.  They are not having a democracy they have a dictatership but instead on Hussin they have Bush.

The libs still won't admit the truth. They love to put their heads in the sand and pretend the world is a loving place.

Good question. It's an emotional question so logic if often thrown out. We haven't been attacked and several plots throughout the world have been foiled because of the stepped up security of us and our allies.\n\nAs for why it is not appreciated, I believe that people cannot separate their ideologies /liberal/conservative, democratic republican and judge the proghress that has been made. Pretty much if you are lib/dem you are supposed to hate the war and say it is a failure.\n\nAlso, the draft has been gone for thirty years, and an amazingly large percentage of the population has never served in the armed forced or have any close family or friends who have. therefore, they are extremely uneducated about realities of the military. I think they think we go to foreign countries and spin around in circles, shooting our machineguns.

That's why only people living in trailer parks and simple-minded folk watch Fox News and Bill O'Reilly. I agree the media is not liberal at all. But I suppose when they show how soldiers are dying then that shows people what is happening in this war and that's liberal thinking blah blah, etc.  I guess it's pretty liberal to document the massacres at Haditha as well. Goodness knows it's liberal to show the truth every once in a while. \n\nBBC world is so much better.

Maybe because they listen to the spew of the media without knowing truly about what really happens. Maybe because they would rather follow an agenda than use some common sense. Maybe because they are so willing to buy into anything that supports their uninformed opinion based on little real life experience.\n\nWho knows why the liberals are like they are.

This posting isn't too awful.  \nThe idea that liberals dance when they see the casualties of war is another spin column used by the neocons.\nIt is unclear how the conservatives are able to pander to the lower and middle class.\nIs it hip to be ignorant?  I'm afraid ignorance is in at the moment.  This helps to make those with average to low intelligence feel some sense of pride.  \n\nThose who lied and sent our troops into harms way on a known false premise will burn in hell.

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 problem with alot of liberals is they are fast at placing blame and making sure when the conservatives mess up they make a heck of a noise. When its them making mistakes they stay pretty quiet. They know that the policies are working, but they won't talk about that all they can talk about is what isn't working over there and in truth that just brings down the American moral and makes the public think its a failure. Its just liberal propaganda

The liberal won't accept good news; they won't read into zarkawi's letter anything positive.  They would only want to win the war on terrorism if they we're in office.  They'd prefer we lose right now so they can blame something else on Bush.  \n\nDid you ever notice they don't blame the bad economy on Bush?  Oh thats right the economy isn't bad.

I am paying attention. The reason these are not made more public is because it takes all of the steam out of the left's anti-war argument. \n\nIf things can be proven to be going well in Iraq, then they would have no basis for an argument.

Liberals get their information from the same sources that Conversatives get theirs.  However, liberals then ignore any facts that go against their pre-determined beliefs.\n\nThen, as you can see above, they feel the need to attack and insult anyone who disagrees.

Your right,they see themselves as heroes, but the Liberals lost the war in Viet Nam by turning American people against it (using the media), just like today. This is one war we can't afford to lose.\n\nadd: One thing they won't talk about is the fact that 3 million people died in Viet Nam after we left.
