Answer 1

Why is it the natural assumption that a person is a liberal just because they are against the war? Her question is valid. Why do republicans get so defensive? Yes, it just so happens that we took out a nut job because of a war we shouldn't be fighting. Not a bad thing. Let's not forget about our guys in Afghanistan where all of our efforts should have been placed all along. I support the troops, I have been sending care packages once a week for the past two years, but I sure don't support the war in Iraq. No I'm not a liberal.

Answer 2

My family has proudly served. I served as a contractor employee in Baghdad and Basra for the troops. My Father In Law served as a contractor employee moving buses for the troops from Kuwait to Basra and Baghdad. My Wife served as a soldier for 6 months in Baghdad.

I can tell you from boots on the ground experience we did the right thing. When you see, hear, smell and touch the devastation done by Saddam and the hundreds of thousands of people including seniors, women and children that were exterminated, whatever pretense took us in there was more than justified in the elimination of the Kurdish and Shi'ite genocide.

Bear in mind prior to the invasion Amnesty International rated Iraq as one of the three top violators of human rights. Now, since they are funded by liberals, this all seems to have been forgotten.

I don't tolerate nor listen to the extremists who say we need to leave Iraq. This is crap. Now more than ever we need to be there.

Answer 3

I served in the US Army Reserve for 6 years from 91-97.

The last two years I have organized care package drives through my daughters elementary school. We ended up sending about 45 big packages to random soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

You can find these soldiers at the website www.anysoldier.com. I urge all Americans who support our troops to go to this website and find a soldier who you can help.

Thanks!

Answer 4

I assume you are a liberal so answer me this, being that you are probably an environmentalist you probably walk or ride a bike everywhere right? You also have a windmill and solar panels provide all your energy, right? You grow your own food and you throw away nothing, right?

See the, you have to participate in something to support it argument looks pretty silly. Stop demanding people join the army, just because they support the war effort.

Answer 5

I support our soldiers, but I do not support the war. I'm still waiting for an HONEST reason for us being there.

According to PNAC's website, they want the United States, by way of economic and military force, to bring the rest of the world under the umbrella of a new socio-economic Pax Americana. The New World Order. Almost exactly a year before 9-11, PNAC published a white paper entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century." In it, they clearly state, "the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor.” A year later the towers fell, and the members of PNAC saw their chance to turn their White Papers into substantive policy.

When Bush assumed the Presidency, the men who created and nurtured the world domination schemes of PNAC became the men who run the Pentagon, the Defense Department and the White House. Vice President Dick Cheney is a founding member of PNAC, along with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Defense Policy Board chairman Richard Perle. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz is the ideological father of the group. Bruce Jackson, a PNAC director, served as a Pentagon official for Ronald Reagan before leaving government service to take a leading position with the weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin. William Kristol, famed conservative writer for the Weekly Standard, is also a co-founder of the group. The Weekly Standard is owned by Ruppert Murdoch, who also owns international media giant Fox News.

The PNAC White paper ominously describes four "Core Missions" for the American military. The two central requirements are for American forces to "fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars," and to "perform the 'constabulary' duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions." In order to bring this plan to fruition, the military must fight these wars one way or the other to establish American dominance for all to see. According to the Washington Post and The Nation, the final slide of this presentation described "Iraq as the tactical pivot, Saudi Arabia as the strategic pivot, and Egypt as the prize" in a war that would purportedly be about ridding the world of terrorism. Bush has deployed massive forces into the Mideast region, while simultaneously engaging American forces in the Philippines and playing nuclear chicken with North Korea. The American people, anxiously awaiting some sort of exit plan after America defeats Iraq, will eventually see that no exit is planned.

This is all public record. PNAC has presnted it's version of reality so well, and so convinced of it is half of America, that even the Dem's fear the political reprecussions of standing up against it. It's become somehow "unpatriotic" to do the RIGHT thing.

Our soldiers are fighting for PNAC, not for America. They are told they are bringing Iraqis freedom and democracy, while Bush dismantles OUR democracy, nullifies our Bill of Rights, and bypasses constitutionality with unconstitutional use of 'signing statements' that override congressional (democratically voted on) decisions. He has empowered himself in PRECISELY the way our forefathers forbid, and constitutionally attempted to prevent.

We can't just leave Iraq. We'd destroy the country in doing so. However, we can certainly hold our President accountable, and demand our country back.
