Liberals!  Do you want the US and Iraq to succeed in Iraq?

I agree with Paul: this is a stupid question. I remember you as being a little more diplomatic.\n\nObviously some sort of political rant. If your great leader hadn't dived head-first into the manure in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess.

It already has. \n\nBush keeps talking about achieving victory, but the sad fact of life is that there is no way to win in this situation. The best we can hope for is containment of the sectarian violence.\n\nI certainly hope this country treats the Iraq vets better than they did the Vietnam vets....

Um, no.\nNo matter who rules the house we should not totally withdraw. No the liberals have an uphill battle, if they shun the troops and make their efforts pointless then the american people will be furious with them and good luck getting re-elected. Thats just not a smart move. The terrorist wont like us no matter what, thats plain and simple. They attacked america so many times no matter who was "leading in congress". Think the american hostages in Iran in the 80's, World Trade 1 in 1992, The attack of the USS Cole, World Trade 2 in 2001. There are too many people who hate us for so many reasons. Bottom line, we should get the job done. The only thing that says we are losing this war is the media, ask the Iraqi people, they see that the US wants to help, yeah they want us out as soon as possible, but they dont want us to leave too soon. At work do you leave work unfinished?

Well--it's nice to know you've got an open mind.  I'm sure it's easy for you to think all liberals feel as you suggest, since you likely feel the exact opposite.\n\nFirst, let's try and keep Iraq and terrorism separate.  I think it may be the single biggest bill of goods Americans have been sold by the administration.  I am 100% behind our nation's effort to fight terrorism, provided we do it in a way that upholds the best traditions of our nation.  We simply cannot sink to the level of others just because "that's the way the game is played".  We cannot break laws and trample on people's rights just because it's easier that way.\n\nAs for Iraq, it seems obvious to me that our invasion had NOTHING to do with terrorism.  Unfortunately, we're in a mess there that we created.  Am I glad Saddam is out?  Of course.  Do I think a democratically-elected government in Iraq is important?  Darn right.  Am I proud we were able to bring it about?  Sure.  But America cannot just decide that a nation isn't operating the way we'd like and then invade it because it's the right thing to do.  It's just like the whole NSA spying business. I doubt there is a single American who doesn't believe they should be checking out suspicious individuals.  But bypassing legal DUE PROCESS for any reason is not the way we do it here--at least it shouldn't be.  It's no wonder Republicans in Congress are starting to back away from Bush on this.\n\nIt looks to me we are stuck in Iraq until we can make it safe enough to leave.  Despite many American's anger at our presence there, you will likely find grudging support for a logical exit.  I'm proud of the young men and women who are there putting their lives on the line--and many losing them--in service of our nation.  I just pray that their sacrifices haven't been in vain.

That is liberal propaganda for you.  Can't prove a damn thing just throw out an assertion and see if it sticks.  This is what makes liberals the greatest assassins of character and dangerous.  Who was it that said how a lie can get around the world before the truth can be revealed?  \n\nOf course, we all know the Iraq war is an extension of the first Gulf War and Saddam violated at least 15 UN resolutions and Saddam was not contained like the liberals say he was.  He was shooting missles at our planes before we went in which was a direct violation of the agreement after we kicked their ass the first time.  \n\nAfter 9/11 President Bush said if you harbour a terrorist or sponsor a terrorist, you're a terrorist and we're coming after you.  How fast we forget 9/11 and how Saddam was paying terrorist and supporting their dirty deeds.  What bothers me is SADDAM HUSSEIN IS A TERRORIST and no one makes this a point.  No politicians or media calls Saddam a terrorist which he is.  It is the reason we went in.  Could you imagine if his sons had survived our attack?  They were worse than he is!\n\nTerrorists have learned how this countries military can win wars but will be held back by our politicians and how Vietnam was lost politically.  This is why terrorists terrorize!  They are not trying to win militarily but politically.  Liberals calling the war illegal is partisan politics for Democrats being out of power.  Liberals put their party above being an American.  Traitors!  Just ask Joe Leiberman.

Deep down they don't even want us to have a military. You see liberals live in a mental Utopia. They believe the world is inherently good and nothing bad will ever happen to America unless we provoke it. I wonder how much of the world they have seen besides maybe Europe or Asia.

If there is an iron clad agenda to kill our enemy, and to discourage, forever more, the insurgents from entering Iraq, then I say yes.  This would require a serious ratcheting up of our activities, it would require the use of bigger and meaner weapons and ordinance, it would require border crossings to get to the real bad guys.  If this is our game plan, then I say yes.\n\nIf the purpose of sending more troops is to expand patrols and police action, then I say NOT.  We don't need more of the same bull sh it, we need a policy that will destroy the enemy, and let them know, we finally mean business.\n\nSorry, libs, your pacification program has been put back on the shelf!

I think you mean Bush does not want the Iraqis to be united in order to control them. This is right, but USA should not be blamed Iraq is made of two major ethnic groups and two major relgious groups and already divided.

In keeping with their "Aid & Comfort To The Enemy" agenda-the liberals will do anything;say anything to harm the U.S. under President Bush because they can no longer win elections .They have done more to hurt the morale of our troops than ever before and I'm wondering why we don't hold trials for treason. John Kerry & Jane Fonda would be the first to be tried .The far left & the drive-by media were strangely silent when Zarqawi was video-taped beheading people-but are the first to jump on the band wagon against our troops while in harms way .There ought to be a law!

Yes we should. It would take a lot less space than the liberals would have you believe that it would. And, it would be nice not to be so dependent on foreign oil.

Still comparing things that are irrelevant to each other?\n\nBy the way, when did we take Iraq?  Seems to me the fighting is still going, despite "Mission Accomplished."

Thankfully, we're veering right.\n\nStill with that tired, old "war for oil" hippie protest I see. Tell me, exactly where is all of this oil we've stolen in the war.\n\nWe became the world's police after WWII, way before you were born.\n\nWe could be spending our money on making our military even stronger is we weren't busy wasting it on failed liberal social programs.\n\nThe LAST THING libs need is a better drug program.\n\nWho's threatening your freedom of speech? Do you mean when those "evil conservatives" try to prevent you from urinating on the graves of soldiers?

Oh Well, this is a tough one. \n\nAlthough I would like to believe that the current Iraqi situation could sustain itself, I must be realistic in my assesment of the situation. I believe that Iraq will fall apart due to the collapse and absence of a powerful cental government. Saddam was tough, but he held the country together. I think we're gonna end up having to deal with THREE NEW Iraqi states (Northern Kurds, Central Sunnis and Southern Shiites) and I just don't like the sound of that, why deal with three when we there was only one?\n\nBesides, the Shiites in the South will most likely control the larger sum of Iraq's Oil cause that's where it's concentrated. \n\nI still believe, contrary to popular belief, that Saddam could have been dealt with differently, either through micro surgery, or through hard-core diplomacy until he crumbled on his own, this all out invasion is just costing us ridiculous ammounts of money and rubbing our global reputation in the dirt. \n\nThe world is changing, we're loosing favour with hundreds of millions of people, and I just don't want that for my country, a country that I love.

It isn't a matter of hating each other. The 'liberals' are simply astonished at the blind faith conservatives have for W.  The conservatives think that if you don't support W., you  must be anti American.  The liberals are also concerned more about all the things the government is sacrificing the homeland for so that W. can fight his war in Iraq.  We have so many problems here in the USA, but W. has given up on this generation of Americans ( no stem cell research, less $$ for education, etc ) so he can try to build his oil empire while establishing a foothold in the mideast to attack Iran, protect Israel and make sure you can put gas in your SUV.

iraq has a chance if they let their government run the country without interference fron the religious zealots...by the way..we are not trying to impose democracy on them, we are trying to bring freedom from a tyrant to them..if you think about it..we would have allready been out of there if it wasnt for the fascist terrorists the liberals love making excuses for and trying to appease\niraq has a better educated class of people than most middle east countries and intelligence is a prerequisite for wanting to be free...its only when the religious leaders and civilian leaders and family leaders work in concert to keep their citizens oppressed and out of the loop of information that a society stays behind the world that is succeeding...\nif iraq wqants to come into the 21st century and use information the right way instead of stifling it, then it will eventually become successful

I think that we will eventually get into a war with them, if some bleeding heart liberal gets elected, I don't think we will do anything to stop them.  \n\nHeres what I want to happen, We need to either set up a military overthrow, and set up a true democracy there, or we need to go in there, and systematically destroy every facility that is even remotely assosciated with neuclear anything, and then assasinate a bunch of people in the government.\nHopefully, this is what bush will do, 1. Kill welfare, 2. with all that money, fund a full scale invasion of Iran.  3. If neccesary, draft...

Absolutely. It is getting better every day.  That's not to say there won't be work ahead. \n\nWe had a presence in Japan and Germany for decades after WWII.  \n\nThe US didn't just peacefully decide we wanted independence and draft a constitution over a beer one afternoon.\n\nIt will take work on our part and that of the Iraqis to get it where they want it to be. They are an independent state and we need to help them get on their feet then withdraw as much as possible while still ensuring stability in the region.\n\nThose that listen to the mainstream media only hear the bad news that makes good headlines. I encourage them to create informed opinions by talking to those that have been on the ground in Iraq, lived with the Iraqis, and helped out. You might also want to investigate other sources of news that's not as biased.
