What do you mean Americans unite and win, it's an unwinnable war. Iraq while one year ago completed their election they have still not gotten their government together, they can't make an agreement on anything and now they are killing each other and our troops. Our allies are talking about pulling out and we are loosing any support we had which wasn't much to begin with. They don't want us there and it appears that our Government is relentless and just keeps saying the terrorists are all in Iraq. Not true they are everywhere and if our troops were in Pakistan or Syria or even Egypt then the terrorists would be there fighting us and killing the people there. We need to bring our troops home and regroup and see what happens from there. Saddam is still on trial and making a joke of it and gets away with it, so I don't see an end to that at all either. It's just been drag out and while this is going on more of our troops die. WE NEED TO GET OUT AND IT'S NOT CALLED RUNNING IT'S CALLED TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRY because while our troops are there nobody is here if we need them!

That is a false choice. Those are not the only options. It is like saying "Should America legalize murder... or outlaw churches?"
Changing course when you're on the road to disaster is not "cutting and running." President Bush called the Democrats the "Cut and Run" party. But now many high-level Republicans are saying exactly what Jack Murtha, a war hero by the way (unlike Bush), said several months ago. We need to re-evaluate our strategy and re-deploy our troops out of the middle of a civil war.
Perhaps we should be tough, and stay the course, like Bush did in the National Guard while his fellow Americans died in Viet Nam?
Let us not forget that there are a hundreds of thousands of Americans, those loved ones of over 50,000 Americans who died for nothing when Richard Nixon "stayed the course" in Viet Nam, who wish that he had had the courage to admit mistakes and reconsider the road to tragedy.

If we were united we probably wouldnt be at war. If the U.N. would ever unite and do whats right there would probably never be a war. Nobody wants the war but if we cut and run things will become more dangerous for America. The terrorists are not going to stop if we pull out. They will have won and will become stronger. Nothing short of winning is going to stop them.

I dunno.... if it's 100% sure that we'll WIN and the good outweighs the bad then go get 'em America!! YEAH!
But if "winning" involves thousands of thousands of our soldiers dieing for a single sandy rock, I don't think it's worth it. Besides... who says what "winning" is.
I'm guessing you mean Iraq? Well are we at war with Iraq or with Terrorists? 'Cause we got Iraq, that war WAS a success. The problem is now the war on the Iraqi economy that we're trying to jumpstart. The war on terrorism is a much much much much harder one to win and unity is far from how you win it. To beat terrorism we have to know what drives it. I'm no terrorism expert, but I'm pretty sure it's extremist idealism. Now if we can just find a way to beat that.
I dunno. If I heard that if we all united behind Bush that everying would be 100% ok and we'd get the terrorists, I'd be the first one behind him. He just lost me as a voter and as a supporter. That's ok, I'm supposed to use my opinions like that.

Face it the Republicans and special corporate interests are milking this for all its worth. Yes, can you say ka-ching? $$$$
Ever hear that saying "know when to get off a dead horse," well Iraq is that "dead horse" - it's destabilized now. I guess the Republicans aren't done milking this out - if the Iraqi's weren't ticked at us before, they sure are now. This has NOT made us any safer.
There is no way our country can manage a huge region of the middle east, it's simply not feasible.
Wake up and smell the coffee - stop the arrogance and bring our troops home on our own soil. They deserve all of our respect too, they don't choose where to go, they are sent.

Anyone who says united and win is an idiot.
We are "united" and we can't win.
Pulling out isnt cutting and running, its counting our losses. You would think we would have learned from the Vietnam war when we lost all those men FOR NOTHING. And we're doing it again. Every dead soldier is a waste.
(I can't beleive such an ignorant question using blatantly loaded language and appealing to the most loathsome and insipid of rhetorical flaws is generating such a positivw response.)
God I hate this country nowadays.

If we don't finish it, we will be back in another ten years just like last time. Bush Sr., the anti-Republican, screwed the pooch in '91 so we lose 3,000 more guys now. If we don't finish now, then 3,000 children of the guys who have already sacrificed their lives will be sacrificed ten years from now....
Exit strategy by definition is an admission of failure and a statement of no-confidence in the mission.
