if they can't all come home, then they ALL should be able to perform their jobs without political red tape! It is outrageous to say the White House is keeping the soldiers from calling the shots as they see it in combat,and tying their hands!

George Tenet, the CIA Director who was awarded the medal of freedom, says now the invasion and occupation of Iraq was based on lies from the highest levels of our government. On a day that commemorates "Mission Accomplished" and the death of over 3,000 more of America's heroes since that fateful day, I can only think the dwindling support for this administration's "House of Cards" has to feel a little confused and embarrased.

In a recent Q she asked: "Is Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba an American Concentration Camp where POWs are tortured?" Follow up comments: "Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay is an American concentration camp where "enemy combatants" have no justice and no humanity, they are tortured, live in appallaing conditions, in violation of the Geneva Convention. Look it up!" ROTFLOL! She offers no proof-just opinion. Do you think she's actually been there? Where does she come up with this stuff?

In the U.S. when a president is elected weather republican or democrat it seems that the moment they become president they start to lose their popularity and it slowly comes down and then the people or the United States start to want the other party that the president isn't a part of. Also I know that everyonce and a while a president comes along and continues to gain popularity throughout his presidency but in most cases they start to lose the people who voted for him why is this.

They are all for violating our rights to due process by engaging in discrimination against us. Successful people already live a very hard life in this country, just scraping by to live a luxurious life, and Uncle sam takes everything. If it wasn't for the discriminatory tax policies, me and my husband would be able to afford a private jet instead of having to fly first class commercially all the time, that's how much extra we pay in taxes. Enough is enough!

When we went to Iraq, the Bush administration did not say "Iraq is connected to 9/11. They said that terrorist groups were in Iraq, suchas Al Qaeda, and that they were a threat to the U.S. They never said that "Iraq is responsible for 9/11." No. They said Iraq is a threat to our security, they stated what they beleive to be correct intelligence, and Congress, the very people who are blaming Bush for this war, voted to declare war. Im ired of people saying that Bush lied, when he found out the truth, he was the first to tell you! He didn't lie! Clinton says: "Knowing what I know now, i wouldn't have gone to war in 2003. " Well isn't that convenient! All we need is a time machine! And don't get me started on this bill to withdraw troops! AHHHHH

Liberal democrats are idealists, not realists. By very definition, liberalism is idealism, much like communism. It doesn't work in the real world. Sure world peace would be great. If we could all join hands, sing songs Christians with Muslims, Sunnis with Shiites etc. But it is unrealistic. So is using 1 piece of toilet paper to help save the world from global warming. What gives? Why don't liberal democrats realize they are not realists AT ALL?

PS. I do have my MS degree in Neuroimmunology and am currently in dental school (so yeah, I'm educated. Don't use that in your argument.) Thanks.

All the cable networks showed the president's statement live today, and then the Democrats' response. Why do you think FoxNews didn't show the response? Technical problems? :>

Please, I'm looking for insightful opinions, preferably with citations or logical justifications, since this is a non-threatening question. I'm curious to know what factors contribute to this and what effect this has had on our country?

Bush had issued just one veto against embryonic stem cell research. A look at the vetoes of other presidents over eight decades:

Bill Clinton (1993-2001), 37 vetoes, two overridden.
George H.W. Bush (1989-93), 44 vetoes, one overridden.
Ronald Reagan (1981-89), 78 vetoes, nine overridden.
Jimmy Carter (1977-81) 31 vetoes, two overridden.
Gerald Ford (1974-77) 66 vetoes, 12 overridden.
Richard Nixon (1969-74), 43 vetoes, seven overridden.
Lyndon Johnson (1963-69), 30 vetoes, none overridden.
John F. Kennedy (1961-63), 21 vetoes, none overridden.
Dwight Eisenhower (1953-61), 181 vetoes, two overridden.
Harry Truman (1945-53), 250 vetoes, 12 overridden.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-45), 635 vetoes, nine overridden.

Better yet, why do they think editorials from political websites, youtube videos, and cut and paste from a wikipedia article of individual scientists against the (((MAINSTREAM))) assesment on global warming has more credibility

than

my list of well established scientific organizations, each representing tens of thousands of scientists?

SHORT SUMMARY LIST

1) THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY, FOUNDED IN 1876, OVER 160,000 MEMBERS
"There is now general agreement among scientific experts that the recent warming trend is real (and particularly strong within the past 20 years), that most of the observed warming is likely due to increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, and that climate change could have serious adverse effects by the end of this century."

1) Send 200,000 more troops
2) spend billions of dollars
3) convince other nations to make Iraq a priority
4) punish anyone other country that tries to help our enemies in Iraq.

Do all the above, but have a fail safe plan that promises total withdrawl by 2010. So we either get the job done or get out.

Would this work?

I have learned about communism and I looked it up in the Dictionary. The problem is I still don't get it. In school, they didn't really mention exactly what it was that made communism bad. can u explain it to me? in an easy way to understand and tell me the main thing that makes it good?

For those who support Bush, please answer this: what if we are just helping prolong a civil war, and in fact our presence is actually fanning the flames of a civil war? What if for every terrorist we kill, two more spring up in his place? Do we just stay there forever? What would have to happen to acknowledge that we are not helping the situation by trying to solve the political problems in Iraq by military means? And if you think we are going to solve them that way, is it reasonable to ask how long do you think that will take? Let's say we are still in Iraq ten years from now, and the situation is still the same. Troops are getting killed, and the parties over there are still killing each other? Should we continue to stay the course?
