maybe the Dems are right, we need our troops home. to protect us?

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYes, absolutely ... there hasn't been a week since 9/11/2001 that the terrorists have not attacked key targets throughout the U.S. ... and here we are defenseless against those scoundrels! How dare George leave us here without protection!\n\nHonestly, and realistically, we have been fortunate that there has not been any more bonafide terrorist attacks on our soil since 9/11. Perhaps that is because our troops have been overthere, taking the fight to them! Chances are very good they were hesitant to act here, because we were close to their loved-ones and their training facilities!\n\nI think the Dems have actually jumped onto another popularity bandwagon, and given the Islamic forces against us a "moral" victory and exposing us to greater threats!

It is a good point that you make and might I add, infighting has hurt the troops more than any comment.  The fact that the Republicans believe it should be done only one way and the Democrats are acting like T.O. doesn't help our chances.  \n\nIf you go to war, you better be prepared to make it work.  This isn't some backyard game, you don't just quit and go home when you make a decision to go to war.\n\nAll political parties and the public should be ashamed of themselves.  This isn't what our soldiers need right now, they need a country that supports them.  We need to give them what they need to execute and make their mission successful.\n\nTeam work - we forget the concept at the highest level. - brilliant.

Amen sister! There's so much heated emotion over poitics that the troops are looked at as the bad guys.  Yes, I Support our troops. I hope they make it through their days over there. I hope they come home, and will welcome them when they return. While they're there, I pray that they know, we're thinking about them, and care about them. Don't forget they're our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, etc.

They are cruising (for pages) - maybe bruising. But I think they should win and will win tomorrow.  I'm not republican.  I want them to win so they do not blame Dems for 'war' or its solution.

I think that the military could be of better use protecting our own borders, Iraq was a mistake from the beginning and we need to admit that mistake and bring the people home.

Trust me.  He has only used that pen once in his presidency so far, but I know he's stocking up on ink as we speak.  He will not bring our troops home early as it would cause a middle east disaster.  The lib dems have the war power act behind them (its never in history been used though), and that'd give him 30 days to continue fighting and then 60 to withdraw.  However, no Dem in the world that wants to keep their job would enact that, FAR too controversial

IT's better for trained officials to be under attack and able to fight back then for American civilians to be attacked in our own country and be completely defensless. I don't want our troops to be dead or in danger, but they are protecting this country. Think about that before you try to debate. Eventually, Iraq will become stable!! They will....but only once we rid them of the people who are against a stable goverment. They need help and it's not all about helping them either. On Semptember 11, so many Americans died because a few idiots decided to hurt us. We are just paying them back the favor. You have a good point but think about reasons why we should be there too

Our enemies are always emboldened when a Democrat nitwit opens his or her pie hole to badmouth our troops (Kerry,Murtha,Durbin) or the war effort in general. This is a fact that these idiots just don't understand. Kerry's comments about our troops has spread throughout the Islamic world like wildfire.\nThere is nothing wrong with dissent, mind you, but it ought to be done in a way that doesn't send the wrong signal to the enemy. But sadly, the Dems are just concerned with winning elections and not with winning this war.

I don't think that it can be blamed on the democraps....\n\nI would like to think that EVERYONE in our country would like our sons and daughters to come home....\n\nThis war has drug on and on and we need  to come up with a better plan...what we have now isn't working. \n\nI am not maybe for pulling them all out now...but the Iraqi government had GOT to get their s**t together.

I think we should bring most of our troops home, but disbanding the military seems like a really bad idea.  Going from a major world power that's hated as much as we are to totally defenseless is not such a hot idea.  I do think, though, that we could use our military power almost exclusively defensively.  But think about what would have happened in World War II if we'd had no military.  I don't know about you, but I don't want to rely on Canada and Mexico being nice to us.  Then again I don't want to rely on our government making good decisions, either.

The war is needed and the troops are too.\n\nWe have to fight against fanaticism or become like them.\n\nHow would it be if the catholics started killing baptists daily. Or what if Democrats blew up Republicans every chance they got?! These are no different than what is happening in other countries and I thank the troops for protecting us from that mental instability from coming over here.

As long as the Democrats can make a decent decision for once in Congress; we wont quite, we wont surrender. Thats what America was built on. But hey, when Congress pulls us out and a couple of 9/11's come, it'l be all those Americans that voted Democrats fault, and them, and their families will suffer

great man, \n\n100% support.\n\nand so should everyone else., \nall this right wing, left wing fighting is tearing down our country.\n If the left could just shut up long enough and stop standing in the way trying to make everything fail, perhaps our country could achieve its goals and everyone come home in one piece.
