Can we get off Bush and figure out a solution to bring our troops HOME?

Question

O.K. we all know that G.W. invaded Iraq and that we are still over there trying to pick up the pieces. Every day the violence becomes more dangerous for our troops. The Iraqi's are more worried about what religious sect one belongs to Sunni/Shiite than they are about rebuilding their country. You have terrorists infiltrating the police depts, blowing up what we are trying to rebuild. Don't they realize we are going to be over there longer the more they keep destroying everything? There will never be peace in the middle east. There hasn't been peace there since the beginning of time. G.W. can't force other nations to become democratic just to get to the resources. What can we do to get our troops home?

Answer 1

eh

Would love to but it is the Bush Regime that is keeping them in that hellhole.

Answer 2

Wow, your a real smart idot aren't you ? Well, hmmm think about it for one second. We lost about 1000 men a day in World War 2 and we did so much more damage, caused so more death and that war was authorized by a democrat. Whoa, wait a second.

My thing is that we are being way to soft with these people in the Middle East and lets start carpet bombing Baghdad like we bombed Dresdan Germany which killed about 50,000 civilians - but it led to a quicker end to the war. Besides, Mr Dumbass and all of you piece of crap liberal p*ssies out there - the United States enacted the Marshall Plan to basically pay for Europe to rebuild itself and we have been in the conquered country (Germany) since 1945. So yes, lets carpet bomb Iraq and Afghanistan. Assasinate the leaders of Hezboullah and just let our military do its job. The war would be over in a year...... If FDR was in office, a democrat, that is what he would do because that is what he DID during World War 2.

Answer 3

NEWS BULLETIN
President Hillary Clinton today announced that American troops will begin immediately withdrawing from Iraq. She added that any country which interfered with such withdrawal or put American troops in harms way would face total destruction from atomic bombs. This news was greeted with cheers all over America as it took a woman to find the solution to the Iraq fiasco. Her husband Bill was asked by a commentator for his take on the latest action. He replied with a wink, “I always thought there should be more women in the Oval Office.”

Answer 4

Start nuking the hell out of the idiots over there and eventually the moderate smart ones will realize they have chosen to side with the wrong side.

Answer 5

Absolutely nothing. Its not our call. Next time get off your fanny and vote Democrat and maybe they will understand how angry so many people are. Then you can go back to voting Rep if you wish. After all, all those congressmen and senators like their jobs. Great bennies they have on your dime you know.

Answer 6

They sa here all the time that they don't want to come home because they have a job to do and thier country asked them to bring freedom to Iraqis.

They love it over there, bringing freedumb to the backwards Iraqis. White Mans Burden, all that... manifest destiny right!

They are having fun... let them have fun.

Answer 7

Don't get yourself in trouble here by talking about "offing" the president. People get a knock on the door for less.

Answer 8

even off Bush, they still still kill and blow up, its all their little minds can do. Honey they were doing those things before bush invaded

Answer 9

We should start a petition to have Bush Impeached.
I bet that 90% of US citizens would sign.
Then we could bring the troops home. ^_^

Answer 10

This struggle isn't about Iraq or Afghanistan or Iran and Syria. This is about changing hearts and minds. I have my criticisms of the Bush administration but I believe he is doing the best job he knows how to do, and I believe this country was caught with its breeches down on 9/11. We didn't know how to react, because we simply didn't have the information we needed at the time to make informed decisions. This is the fog of war. We know this, we suspect that, and none of it is sure. I have to lay a large part of that at the feet of Bill Clinton because he cut the budget of the military and intelligence organizations to balance the federal budget while spending like drunken sailors on everything else. He said last Sunday that "he was aware of the threat of Bin Laden and that he tried and failed to kill Bin Laden but at least he tried." But the tragedy of 9/11 was exacerbated by the fact that we had nobody in intelligence with boots on the ground in the Middle East to listen to the political climate, to collect the kind of information that can't be retrieved with satellites and spy planes.

The real issue here is, what will make Muslims less of a threat to world peace and security? And the answer as far as I can see is to convince the mouthpieces and those that trust them, that prosecuting aggression against the west will not net them the results they seek. They have plainly spoken their agenda and it isn't to be taken lightly. They want to rule the world and they have multiple plans in operation to achieve just that.

One way is to immigrate to western states as in France and by sheer numbers take over the government. Another is by force as in Spain. Another is Bin Laden's way. He believed we would not respond in a long drawn out campaign because we have lost our American spirit. Bush told us atop the pile of rubble that it would require a long drawn out campaign to accomplish the necessary task to turn the tide of terror. It only took months for half the country to forget those words and the spirit in which they were received. Was Bin Laden right? Have we lost our spirit? http://judgeright.blogspot.com under the article titled "In Their Own Words" you'll find many links to video of their most popular political and religious leaders saying exactly that under the bold words.

Why do the media prosecute a war against the American reputation in the world, even our own media? They compare the actions of a few Americans to those of all terrorists and demand that we treat them according to edicts of the Geneva Convention when they are not held to the same standards. The reveal our secret operations and methods of interrogations which by the way do not even enter the same solar system as the jihadi's treatment of captured citizens let alone military. They compare our operations against aggressors with their targeting of innocent civilians.

Personally, I wish they would treat this as more of a conventional war. Again on my blog, you'll find that the TV networks are spewing murder and hatred 24/7 through music videos and movies and just about every religious program against the West. In Iran, Syria, Palestine, etc., over Palestinian Authority TV and al Jezeera. We have to blast our own TV signal into these regions to get the message of the West into the people because they are getting nothing else from their own networks. It is popular to hate the west, it is taught in the school curriculum in Iran, it is overwhelmingly accepted that the West is the Great Satan.

I am not looking for a new crusade, but logic tells me that a great defeat, and blame for mass destruction on the heads of these same leaders, called down on them by their own words, is the only way to change this torrent of mass lies and hysteria.

P*ssy footing around and blaming America for the damage done to innocents, as the media and half our politicians are doing is strengthening the enemy's resolve and encouraging their recruitment rates. Whereas, flattening the capitols of 1 or 2 countries could save the long drawn out struggle. Look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These two explosions brought a long drawn out struggle to an abrupt end. Many lives were saved on balance. Had the struggle continued as it had for two more years, as much as a million troops from both sides would have been lost not to mention the innocents that were dieing from the carpet bombing campaigns. Just because we have the technology to surgically strike does not make surgical strikes the best option. Our reputation is suffering in the world anyway, what motivation do we have to continue a struggle with surgical strikes when a double standard is applied to our forces compared to our enemy's? What benefit to innocent lives if the struggle continues for another 5 or 20 years?

Why does the U.N. condemn U.S. tactics while the terrorists march merrily on with heinous acts against civilians? I don't like being seen as the big bully on the block either, but thanks to the U.N., the media, and half our politicians, that is our image. Sometimes people need to see a bully tactic to gain perspective on reality. Reality is, up till now, we have been the only morally influenced party in this conflict. If we know the location of al Jezeera and the Palestinian Authority's TV broadcasting operation, they should be powder by now. If we hear another dictator dictate morality to us, he should be in the very same condition. If we know Bin Laden or any other terrorist leader is within a 50 mile radius, we should dump a radio active firestorm on his cave, mountain, or city. See how long the attitude of blame America carries on, then. I guarantee that every country's leader will dump the bodies of these gnats called terrorists on our doorstep pleading with us to take our big stick and go home, because they will make sure we have nothing to worry about anymore. If a bully we are called, then a bully we should be, at least for a little while.
