the iraq war?

Question

Bush said: "Five years after 9/11, the worst attack on the American homeland in our history, Democrats offer nothing but criticism and obstruction and endless second-guessing."
He's right. Dead on. Democrats have offered no real strategy for fighting Islamic fascism. Well, unless you call withdrawal a strategy. Cut and run. Pull our troops out of Iraq. Give the Islamists a stunning victory over the world's greatest military power. That's the strategy. Just how do you think that one would work out for us?
The Democrat's response? Well .. Bush hasn't caught Osama bin Laden yet. Well, guess what? The Allies never captured Adolf Hitler or Tojo during World War II. Does that mean we didn't prevail? After the Germans were routed did the "loyal" opposition in this country start screaming that we hadn't captured Hitler yet? Fact is, we never got him. He managed to take himself out before we could get to him. I guess that means we failed.

first of all im lokoing for opinions on this. so it can be considered a "question". second, to anyone that says the "question" didnt make sense, explain yourself.

spn300: youre asking me if i ever watch the news? as in your CNN? i wont even bother reading the rest of your "answer".

Answer 1

While there isn't a question in here I will say my piece. I agree that the Dems have not offered any kind of solution to the problem, but neither have the Republicans. I served in Iraq for a year and I can say with a high degree of certainty that what we are doing over there is not working. We need to try and understand that the military has done their job by getting rid of Saddam. There is no feasible strategy that is going to be developed at the Pentagon because this is no longer anything but an economic drain on the US that is creating more terrorists with out presence in the Middle East. This is an Iraqi problem that needs to be handled by Iraqi's. We have bought them the opportunity to pull their county out of the crapper and they need to step up and take it.

Answer 2

The person who has given the islamist terrorists a "stunning victory" is Bush.

Do you ever watch the news? Other than AM Radio douchebags and Bill O Reilly?

Have you ever heard of the National Intelligence Estimate? Here's a non-=artisan definition:

The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), prepared by or at the direction of the National Intelligence Council[1] (http://www.cia.gov/nic/NIC_about.html), is defined by the Department of Defense as a "strategic estimate of the capabilities, vulnerabilities, and probable courses of action of foreign nations produced at the national level as a composite of the views of the intelligence community. Also called NIE."

This is a non-partisan report put together by the Dept of Defense (The vast majority of whom are NOT DEMOCRATS)
TRY INFORMING YOURSELF and then forging an opinion, excerpts from the NIE:

• Although we cannot measure the extent of the spread with precision, a large body of all-source reporting indicates that activists identifying themselves as jihadists, although a small percentage of Muslims, are increasing in both number and geographic dispersion.

• If this trend continues, threats to US interests at home and abroad will become more diverse, leading to increasing attacks worldwide.

New jihadist networks and cells, with anti- American agendas, are increasingly likely to emerge. The confluence of shared purpose and dispersed actors will make it harder to find and undermine jihadist groups.

The Iraq conflict has become the "cause celebre" for jihadists, breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement.

Answer 3

Very good analogy
and I do agree with you.
When this is all over and the write it down in the history book that will say the it was a war worth fighting and that the world has been made a better place.
I think that people just want instant results and with war that does not happen. Let alone trying to rebuild a country so that it can be better for them selves too.

Answer 4

The current situation in Iraq is "dire" according to former British foreign secretary Jack Straw.

Try reading this and get some idea of what a great job the Bush yes men/women have done.
