Tell me what you think? Why do liberals want us to lose Iraq?

Question

I'll get this off my chest. The only thing liberals are acclomphishing is bringing down America, and they are helping us LOSE the war in iraq. Why do the find NO solutions, all they can do it call bush stupid, the war in iraq stupid. Why do i hear so many whinners who never seem to have any solutions from the left?

Answer 1

Its how we do it!

Answer 2

Tell me why we should be there in the first place? Is it because BushCo duped you into believing that Iraq was somehow responsible for 9/1?

Iraq was a major mistake. We NEVER finished the job in Afghanistan. And according to YOUR president, OBL is no longer a major concern. Excuse me? The guy who plotted 9/11 is NOT a major concern?

Have you NOT been paying attention to the news? YOUR president's Cowboy Diplomacy has blown up in his face. I know a lot of people who will claim that this was about oil. It wasn't. It was to deter North Korea and Iran from pursuing their nuclear programs. Guess what...It failed. Both countries ACCELERATED their programs. His reasoning behind the invasion can now be used by North Korea as an excuse to justify invading South Korea.

We needed to finish what we started in Afghanistan, THEN we could invade Iraq.

All YOUR President did was play right into OBL's hands.

Because you wasted your vote on someone who has shown that he doesn't grasp the implications behind his actions, we are NOT as safe as they would have you believe.

We have no course but to try to contain the civil war in Iraq. Iran has more pull in Iraq than we do. Everything that the current administration didn't think would happen has happened. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what we had to do, just some common sense and a basic understanding of the region. Both of which this administration has shown it is sorely lacking.

How many times do we have to retake Baghdad? How many times do we have to resecure a "safe" area? How many times do we have to keep hearing Cheney assert that Atta met with an Iraqi Intel officer in Prague, an assertion that has been proven wrong? How many times do we have to hear that the "insurgency" is in it's last throes? Why does the administration take officers that have shown their competence and reassign them?

We're not the ones who are losing this war. It's the Administration. We're trying to get them to run this competently. Something they vehemently oppose. We're trying to get the Administration to accept responsibility for their lack of planning and vision. Take a look at the FACTS before you start pointing fingers.

Answer 3

Okay, just so you all know up front here, I'm not a conservative, I'm not a liberal, I'm a libertarian.

First of all, the question would be better phrased "why does it SEEM that the liberals want us to lose Iraq?" and for you liberals, that refers to the fighting, not the country.

The problem is that the liberals don't grasp the fact that it no longer matters HOW we got where we are, and they don't grasp that HOW a war ends matters. They only see the day to day costs, and have no concept that there might be something to be gained that justifies the cost.

That puts them in the position of wanting to eliminate the cost in lives and tax dollars, without taking responsibility to consider what would happen next, not only in Iraq and the Middle East, but around the world, and also here in the US.

The bottom line is that they don't actually want us to lose. The fact is that they don't even understand that there's a real conflict going on, they don't understand that there's a difference between winning and losing. They are just completely unable to foresee the result of forfeiting the war.

What they also don't comprehend is the effect of their opposition on the forces we face in Iraq. Without liberal opposition to our presence, it's more likely than not that it would have been finished long ago, and power would have been turned back over to the Iraqis a year or more ago.

I doubt that a true liberal could possibly comprehend the apparent paradox of their demands we pull out immediately being the cause that our troops have to stay longer, but that's the fact.

They don't actually want us to lose. They want us to go back in time and have never gone in.

They just aren't in touch with reality.

Answer 4

You seem to have the wars blended up. Obama's troop surge into Afghanistan comes with a clean, easily advantageous operation that Bush in no way positioned any attempt into. Bush became an fool because of the fact he invaded Iraq and tried to rigidity democracy on non secular extremists, mutually as persevering with to quote the actuality that they have been "assisting." Obama isn't an fool because of the fact he and the leaders 40 different countries have become a member of mutually to wipe out Taliban web pages the place they are truthfully placed. enormous, enormous difference.

Answer 5

No matter which side you are on, the fact remains that we are in an unwinnable war, one that is costing us dearly in men and women and money and prestige. After all, what is winning in this war? Is it free and democratic elections? They had two of them, lets get out. Is it waiting till they have the ability to keep the peace in their country? They either are or are on the the verge of a civil/religious war. Which is understandable when you realize they are a made-up country, a combination of three groups who were/are totally incompatible. There ARE no solutions to give, which is what makes it incomprehensible to most Americans, we are so sure that there is an answer to everything that faced with this idea we just blank it out.
There are no Republican solutions and there are no Democratic solutions. Those people are going to be killing each other till you and I are dust. Just like they have done for the last 2000 years. So the question really becomes how long do we pour our money and lives into their problem?
My prediction is that we will declare ourselves and the Iraqi people the winners because Saddam is no longer in power and then we will get the heck out of Dodge. Pretty much as we did in Viet Nam. Finding new oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico should allow us that freedom. And life will go on.

Answer 6

Your question is full of bias! Lets get down to real answers , first off , is not only liberals who are calling off the war in Iraq, truth be told ,the war is based on lies , Iraq was not is not a threat to the United States and to be more blunt ,neither is any other middle east country! Israel has nuclear weapons, so why should Iran or another country there not be allowed to have the same eh? If we are to be fair then NO country in the world should be allowed nuclear weapons! ,But North Korea who has really threaned the United States and they are a formidable eneymy, we dont hear much about it eh? Why do you suppose is this? The war in Vietnam after much youn g American lifes was LOST too! Who is there now? The United States must look for those that really have the nuclear weapons and by word and deeds have declared themselves the enemy, not try to impose a western way of life on the people of the middle east who have lived their own way for thousands of years! The Jewish man also worship separate from the women , is this a reason to impose on them? No! Then why do it to the Arabs who do the same and truth be told are first cousins of the Jews. In this century diplomacy is the word , or else we are all going to be flying out in the atmosphere!

Answer 7

It would seem that you are the whining here. And you talk of bringing down America? We've already lost the war in Iraq. How are you going to win a war when you don't know who your enemy is? And Mr. GOP, I don't hear you coming up with any solutions either.

Answer 8

I agree with you, but I don’t stop with Iraq. It appears that the political parties spend so much time investigation each other, calling names back and fourth, and trying to slam each other, that the country itself is not getting much attention. Both parties have a responsibility to nation and the people. It appears that the words “liberals” or “conservatives” have become the issue, not the safety of the nation or the rights of the legal citizens in it.

Answer 9

I hate to say it, but I truly believe that some of them really DO want to loose in Iraq, simply for the purpose of making Bush look bad and setting up an opportunity for the dems to win politically. It's very sad when people will put politics above the good of their own country. I would like to say they aren't doing this, but their actions prove otherwise.

It's just so stupid--they are cutting their own throats, not only politically in the long-term, but security-wise. It is the future of their own children they are putting at risk--all for the sake of politics. If they had an ounce of decency or common-sense, they would put a stop to the nonsense of trading the future of our country for a few fleeting, temporary political points. It's pretty disgusting.

Answer 10

It is just another symptom of the decay of our country.Look at what children are fed on TV and in the music.Look at the public school agendas.Should public schools even have an agenda other than education.
I am all for adult liberties but how do we keep those same liberties from being directed at our children.Why should children even be taught that their are homosexuals let alone that they should be accepted.
Freedom of expression should end when it starts to do harm.

Answer 11

Their hatred for anything they can't control is the reason. They don't love America, they love what they can control. We are not losing the war in Iraq. You are listening to the liberal media. They only report the bad things that happen. Watch Fox News, listen to Rush, Laura, Sean etc. and you will hear positive as well as negative. They will give you a balanced picture of what is happening. These people do interviews with the ordinary military people who are serving. There is good news but you won't hear it from the liberals.
