If it were October 1942 do you think liberals would want to "Cut & Run"?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II#Deadlock:_1942
Just because a war is not going the way you want is no reason to retreat... unless you happen to be French or a Liberal.

Answer 1

liberals are no different today than they were then. during the second world war the media was not allowed to criticize the government. i am not saying that is right but that is the way it was then. I would bet that there were alot of liberals then who of course could settle the differences of the world if "we" were more tolerant and felt that if they could have hugged adolf hitler and just talked to him for awhile...he would have come around...

Answer 2

The republicans disgust me, but I really admire the way they've controlled the debate on just about everything. They've been in absolute control for years and the dems can't get their heads out of their A$$es to figure it out. "Cut and Run" is a perfect example.

We didn't cut and run in WWII because we knew that if we stopped, the axis powers would take over the world, or at the very least they WOULD have brought the fight to us. (Well, actually they did...)

And don't tell me that terrorists have been here, because when the war started, Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qeada. They are two different subjects that the GOP has brought together in the minds of many.

Iraq was NOT going to attack us, our allies, or try to take over the world.. They weren't doing MUCH OF ANYTHING! When the war started, it was to get the WMDs. Which didn't exist.

Then it was because their was a link between Al Qeada and Iraq. By the time it became obvious that this was also wrong (documents were released a couple months ago showing that Hussein distrusted Al Qeada and didn't fund them or cooperate with them, PROVING their was no link, as was long suspected), the story had become: 'fight them over there instead of fighting them over here.'

But that makes no sense. Where do you think terrorists would rather fight us, in Iraq, or right here???? Its not like they're under the command of some leader telling them to fight in Iraq. If he could talk to them, Bin Laden would tell them to try to hit the USA. And they all know that!

The reason we haven't been attacked here is the increased security. That's a good way to spend money to protect our country.

The war is a huge mistake. How does it protect us?

Tell me, what do we gain if we can someday get out and have something resembling a democracy in place?

Here's the bad stuff:
- Iran is now a dominant country in the region . They've got a lot more bite than Iraq had.
- Thousands of insurgents trained in guerilla warfare, and they don't like us.
- Over half a million dead Iraqis due to the war (not necessarily killed in combat, that number is around 30,000. But dead from disease, lack of healthcare, etc.)
- Several thousand dead Americans, several thousand more that are never the same.

What do we gain????

Answer 3

About this “cut and run.”
Consider this if after 10 years we are still there with no end in sight.
Some of us consider the history of US / Vietnam war.
The rhetoric then was: 1 “better dead that red” as a red headed kid I was psychotically scared when the town bully made me wear “better dead that red” button in school.
2: Stop communism there or all of Asia would surly fall like dominoes.
At one time you would have found nearly all Americans believed the rhetoric.
My brother was drafted for Vietnam when I was in the 5’Th grade and I was at age to be call for an induction examination 1972. I do not expect you even consider trying to comprehend my feelings. But every Friday night the counts released by the pentagon and was announced on the TV news the figures was something like 100 US troops killed, 250 South Vietnam, 500+ North Vietnam troops killed. Otherwise for as long I could remember I had been watching a war on TV that may soon be my end.
The cut and run options was leave the country, teach school, join for 4 years, or advance schooling.

Be careful about running down liberal’s think about this.
A TV station in Asheville NC refused the airing of a reading out the names of the troops killed in the present war, station management said it was a liberal plot. I suspect station management would logically think that any war memorial that list the names of those killed are also a liberal plot.

Your question: If it were October 1942 do you think liberals would want to "Cut & Run"?
If you believe that the United States should not tolerate genocide your decide:

Seven members of the Congress were arrested at Sudan’s Embassy on Tuesday while protesting violence in the nation’s Darfur region.
“We will not tolerate genocide,” said Rep. Melvin Watt (D-N.C.).
The others arrested were Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland), John Lewis (D-Ga.), Al Green (D-Texas), Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas), Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) and District of Columbia Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat.

I point this out to you there is no oil in Darfur.

Answer 4

There were some weak spined congressmen who fully beleived we were whipped and were ready to make peace deals .
In every war in history there have been those who were ready to throw in the towel , soon as the shooting started .
They would rather play ,"LET's MAKE A DEAL !" and give the enemy what he wanted .
Hitler took over a big chunk of Europe because of spineless politicians And the Japanese had most of the Pacific and Asia .

Take a look at history .
After every war , liberals gut the military , we end up unready to fight and somebody takes advantage of it .
You can't go down to the local department store and buy a battle ready military and trained troops , it takes at least 2 years to get up to speed .
The Liberals have tried at least 5 times to disband the Marine Corps .

Answer 5

Back in 1942 there was a real enemy, a real threat. Today there is none. The war on Iraq exists because conservative types get off on the death and destruction of other people, especially those of a different religion and different culture. Besides it allows their leaders to destroy our liberties and freedoms, take away our rights under the excuse of “we’re at war”. Conservatives, and especially the current administration, can’t defend their deceptive and murderous ways so they resort to attacks on liberals and others who have the intelligence to see what is really happening.

Answer 6

Absolutely!

Answer 7

Read your history. They were called isolationists. The eldest Kennedy was trying to convince everyone that Hitler was a good person, even while he was the ambassador to England.

Answer 8

A d... liberal never finds fault with themselves its always someone else.They always cut and run when the water gets hot

Answer 9

The liberals of today would.

Answer 10

If you really believe that our reasons for fighting in WWII and Iraq are the same, then you really are an idiot.
