If you are an able bodied person of age, and you are ALL for the war, then pull out the Yellow Pages, find your local recruiting station, and go sign up.  \n\nThe reason we have an all volunteer force is because you have to WANT to join.  I have no use for people that are all for it, but sit on their computer all day talking about why they  are for it, but yet, do nothing about it.

because george bush the president wants you to focus on other things instead of the war that everyone againsts.  when he got you all boiled about the illegals you won't have time to worry about the war in iraq.

How fickle people are, these polls out today are a joke. I would like to see this question posed...what don't you like about Bush, factually, not just off the cuff running your mouth...give me facts.\n\nIsn't it interesting that some 96% of the US population approved of the war in Iraq 4 years ago?  Yet, they don't approve now, sorry folks, you don't just change your mind about war in midstream.  It doesn't work that way.  We didn't have it easy during many wars, and didn't give up and pull out, eventually the tables turned and we were very successful.  I think of the Revolutionary war, WW1 and  WWII.  People seem to forget that we activly fought WWII for 4 years (after it was already in progress for 3 years).  It was awful, it was tough, but we got dragged into it by Japan, just like the terrorists draged us into this one.\n\nSo why is Bush great?  Number one, he has named his priorities and goals and stuck with them.  The economy is very strong, growing so fast the Feds can't raise interest rates fast enough.  I can't see what it is that Americans can blame Bush for when it comes to the economy, most of the damage was done by the terrorists on 9/11.  Bush said he belived in tax cuts, he didn't want new taxes and he wanted Americans to have more money in their pockets so they spent more.  All of the above happened.  I didn't see anyone complaining when they got their $300.00 a few years ago.  The democrats are dying to use taxes to lower the deficit...okay, that means our money folks, you okay with that?\nThere is a time a place for everything, raising taxes during war is not the way to go.\n\nWe have not had another attack on American soil.  If you want to keep the terrorists from attacking innocent Americans, send the military to the terrorists, keep them occupied and kick their asses somewhere else.  The men in the military are all for being out there kicking terrorism in the butt.  That is their job, they signed up for it and trained for it.  They don't just want Americans support they want success, that means letting them finish the job.  Some of these men and women are on their 4th and 5th tours, and wanting to go back for more.\n\nBush tells it like it is.  If he screws up he acknowledges it.  He doesn't mess around with anything.  He gets to the point and moves on.  You can tell how much he learned from his dad and President Regan.  Sometimes he so reminds me of Regan it's astonishing.  \n\nI'm sorry but when Hurricane Katrina came and Bush got the report on the dykes a few days before landfall..what was he going to do about them?  Send peple out to dump dirt on them?  It was too late to rebuild, it was not feasable to get everyone out of the City, hell that shouldn't even be the governments job to do that.  We have been through 3 direct Hurricane landfalls in 2 years where I live in Ft. Pierce, FL (not to mention the 4 indirect storms and depressions) and we took care of ourselves.  This is the land of the elderly.  If we had waited for the government we would have been standing in waist deep water for weeks.   Bush came and saw us, he gave us support, it's more emotional than anything else.  That is what we needed, when you dont' have TV, radio, phone, you feel very isolated.  Having your President come to see you is a great moral booster.  He is very good at that.\n\nBush has reached the point where he really doesn't care what everyone thinks about him.  He is out for doing what he thinks is best for America, not whats best for the social circle.  So if the other countries don't like it well, I'm sorry, but that is the way it is.  As soon as everyone begins to wake up and realize that we are all targets, we will be better off as a nation and a world.  If your President doesn't look after you first, then what good is he?  It's like having a dead beat dad...no thanks, I'll take GW!

Of course its BUSH'S WAR!!! \nHe and Cheney have planned \nrevenge since the day they \nstole the lst election...wouldn't \nput it past those 2 creeps to have\nbeen behind 9-11 all along...\n\nWasn't it strange that the PRESIDENT \nwas scared sh*tless to go before the \n9-11 commission ALONE and needed \nCheney to HOLD his hand?

The Bush family is entirely off their rocker. Do you know how many civilians have died in Iraq? How many parents, spouses and children will not get to see the one they love because of this war? This war was started because Bush wanted the oil that was in Iraq. Now he's tearing up Alaska in search of oil there. The Bushes are a loney family, and if we had a Bush for President come 2008, this country would fall apart.

Okay... You could pick five random answers I've given and figure out just how much love I haven't lost for Bush... but god damn! You agenda people are getting on my last nerve. Did you miss the subtle bus or something? Woohoo... we get it... you don't like the war. Hey, here's an idea! How about asking a pointed question that gets only opinionated responces, dividing your answers into two easily definable groups. Then lets add lots of exclimation points, because that makes everything better!!!!

I support the war because I support freedom and democracy. If the U.S. were to initially retreat from Iraq now, chaos will inevitable consume everyone in a global standard. \n\nBecause terorists are a large group of people who seek to kill those who do not believe in their faith, something should be done NOW instead LATER. Who knows, we could have all faced something worse on 9/11. Unless people want their own bus stops to be bombed, then we should all support the war efforts.\n\nOne last thing; people can support the war but not the government or the president. Though I am a Bush-supporter; this does NOT mean that liberals have to like Bush or accord with him if they support the War on Terror.

Okay let me make this straight up as I can. I am a moderate Democrat (i.e. Conservatives will say I am too liberal and Liberals will say I am too conservative) I also do not like our current president never have voted for the other guy in both elections. However I do like Tony Blair and the Labor party (I almost always have the BBC on so I can get some real news) with that you know where I stand.\n\nThis is a very complex question with a lot of history to consider. I can tell you what this war is not. First it is not part of the war on terror. President Hussein had nothing to do with 9-11 and frankly for the victims of that hideous act I think it is a great dishonor to say that Iraq is one and the same war. It’s not about oil. Americans think that we pay too much for oil, compared to Europe we pay half as much per a gallon. That’s due to the different driving practices and the better mass transit in Europe.  This war isn’t about WMDs even though that was the purposed reason to rally public support for the war. It’s not about Halliburton getting kickbacks from having a close relationship with the President that is just the icing on the cake. I can not tell you really what it is about its too complex for me to go into here and I would need hours and hours to explain it. \n\nHere we are a few years later. Do I think we should pull out our troops? No basically we broke the country we should fix it. Is there any good of this invasion? Yes, Saddam was not a good leader of his country he committed the most unforgivable sins; Genocide. If Bush said I don’t think the no fly zones aren’t working I don’t think the sanctions are working we need to go in and get this bastard. I would have said hell yes lets roll. Thing is he didn’t do that he didn’t make it about crimes against humanity. Our reason for the war was WMDs. How could Iraq having WMDs threaten the United States? Only one way and that is Terrorism. The only way Iraq could have used them is by deploying one of its Intel officers in a covert attack on our country. It couldn’t have been done by Al Qaeda. Why? Well Al Qaeda thinks that Saddam is the enemy because he exploits Islam for his own needs. Al Qaeda wanted to over throw leaders like Saddam all thro out the Middle East and put in governments like the Taliban in Afghanistan. Problem is people don’t look at history when they look at the middle east they don’t see the events before oil from there became a life blood or after the crusades. There is this dark period where it greatly shaped the Middle East that we know nothing about as westerners. Hence why it is complex.

Bush wants an open ended war. He enjoys pushing people around because he's the "war president".\n\nHe's in the middle of a giant quagmire with no goals set.

If Bush had been President during the past world wars, he would have been praised and glorified. Timing is everything. My questing is what do all these left wingers want? I think they'd rather be fighting here. Don't they realize that every time they say one bad word about Bush, they're giving ammunition to Al-Quaeda and all the other terrorists around the world. Even if I hated Bush, until this was all over, I would never say one bad word about him.My country comes first.

(raises hand)\nI support our troops, but not the war. It's not a war. I think we're just terrorizing another nation into doing what we want them to do. I don't watch the news anymore. I hate seeing that we're killing so many innocents and being killed because they want to live their own way. I really don't like bush. He handled this thing really badly. It would have been one thing to go into Iraq to get the person responsible for 9/11. But it's a completely different thing to go into their country, destroy their cities, kill and imprison civillians for no reason, and stay there until they meet our demands. I would not be suprised if they attacked us again cause we're asking for it.

Hi Bouch,\n\nI am American and "generation X".  I didn't vote for Bush either time, I voted third Party.  \n\nI never liked him.  I am originally from the NY area and I'm not into that Southern cowboy ignorant act, I also felt he got ahead due to pure nepotism.  I always thought he wasn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.\n--of course now I think it's really an act for the most part, he was inspired by Reagan.-- Don't look like you know too much or they will expect you to answer for more.\n\nI wasn't for the war in Iraq from the start being as it had nothing to do with 9-11.    \nI tried to keep an open mind about it, and since have gone back and forth supporting it and not, usually just being a fence sitter.\nIt makes me sick how many of our boys are dying over there, and yours, of course.\nI feel terribly about the citizens of Iraq, the innocent ones, and the children, they never asked to have a crap dictator, be invaded, and live in a war torn country.  Who deserves that? right?\nWe are so fortunate to live in the Western world, we can sit in comfort and not be so worried our children won't grow up in relative peace (mine anyway, I kind of fear for your country's future).\n\nBut I have to say that there is a point to some of this.   There is an elephant in the middle of the room., that is the jihadi fundamentalist Islam who are indeed in persuit of a one sided religious war on their part.  \n  Part of it might also have to do with immigration policies of the past few decades over in Europe.  \n After all, some of the terrorists were British nationals, and for whatever reason, some of your countries have become fertile breeding ground for Radical Islam and violent Muslims who target the UK and the US.\n\nI don't know why exactly we are in the war in Iraq, people in this country say the same things, with the same questions you do.\nI have said it's for oil as much as anyone on your side.  \nSometimes I wonder if it's for a strategic military installation, a foothold in the middle East to control the population of Arab Muslims as well as secure oil reserves since we are at peak oil production.

Because Bush is a brutal dictator himself.  In his perfect warped little world, he'd love to be able to tell people who to marry, what religion to be, etc, etc. If you're a violent male in charge of an oil rich nation, then you can bet Bush is going to do anything and everything to be best buds with ya. I can't wait until he's out of office. He's done so much damage to this country. It's no wonder we're hated and considered a joke by the rest of the world.

Boy, you people are something.  I agree that there are people out there that just hate the military.  I have run into a few, they call me a murderer, mercenary, and all sorts of things.  But for a veteran to say he thinks that the war is a bunch of lies, that just tells me that you must have forgotten a few things since getting out.  The President will see more information than the public will ever see, and with this war the majority of the decisions he can choose to make are between two really bad choices.  It really bothers me that people think the President is doing such a horrible job, when they themselves couldn't do any better.  If you were President what would you do pull the troops out?  OK, what would you do when the fight follows them back here?  How would you react when we lose our Allies by pulling out?  How would you expect to recover the American way of life after you screw everything else up?  Before you criticize the President why don't you think about the desicions he has to make knowing that every move he makes is under the microscope.  Most of our troops know more about the war than civilians will ever know, and most of our troops support it and volunteer to go back.  When we declared war on terrorism Iraq was put in the crosshairs because it was supporting terrorism.  We did not declare war on just those involved on 9/11 we declared war on terrorism and any supporters of terrorism.  \n\nSince opinions are like ***holes, I know everyone is going to say something about me.  Frankly, I have probably heard worse than what you people could say about me, so if you really want to try and make me feel bad, embarass me, or anything like that you are just wasting your time.\n\nBTW, all you people that say vote Democrat, keep in mind that throughout history Democrats have gotten us into more wars than Republicans.  Even this war is a result of the inactions taken by a Democrat (Clinton).  So don't blame this entirely on Bush.

Everyone needs a scape goat, and whom other to point fingers at when something goes wrong in the USA?\niF God Himself were in the White House, some people would complain about him also.\nI have a friend that will be doing his 3rd tour in Iraq in the Marines. He is almost 20 years old.\nI asked him if he thought he was doing the right thing by being over there in the first place.\nHe answered yes, that there were many reasons to be there, and he believes with all his heart that this war is indeed needed- and that Bush was doing the right thing.\nNo one better for me to verify this with than a young man putting his life on the line to protect out country.

I really didn't want another Bush in office because of Sr George Bush was about when he was in office. Unfortunately his son is in office and then 9/11 happened. Now we have our troops over seas fighting against an enemy that they have no real experience in fighting (guriella war-fare). Troops are dying everyday and we really haven't found any weapons   of mass destruction or Osoma Bin-Laden as of yet. The real reason why we are over in Iraq is to get our bid in on their black gold. Is Bush the right person for presidency? NO. But he has to finish what he started.
