Do u really think Democrats support american army in iraq??

Question

i m not american,but i thought americans love their troops but now i doubt after kerry s remark! whats your opinion?

Answer 1

Democrates see a defeat in Iraq as a political victory and a path back to power .
Let's remember who cut the military budget and manpower by 30% While our embassies , troops and ships were being bombed overseas by terrorists .

Answer 2

There are plenty of Democrats IN the military. Do you actually think that Bush is going to let his daughters go to Iraq? Cheney was a draft dodger. The Republicans don't even support the military by signing up or supporting their own children to volunteer. BTW Kerry's comment was not even about the military, it was about Bush and the Republicans took it out of context and attacked him with it. Kerry has apologized and explained what he actually meant but you don't hear much about that. Despite all the lies, the truth is that Kerry, himself, honorably served in the military and was awarded several medals by his commanding officers.

Answer 3

Democrats, as a rule, are against war AND the military. The U.S. Armed Forces is Public Enemy Number One for the liberals because our institution as a whole is based on beliefs and ideals that fly in the face of liberalism -- service before self, integrity, honor, discipline, being held accountable for your actions, and living by a set of rules. Liberals focus entirely on self and believe every American has the right to pursue his/her own pleasures regardless of how their actions may affect others. And, of course, if they do something illegal or unethical, they always have some excuse to attempt to rationalize their behavior. What these people fail to realize is they NEED the military, for without it there would be no freedom (and that would put a serious crimp in their self-serving hedonistic lifestyles). You need look no further than the mainstream liberal media in this country to see my point -- they take great joy in plastering the names and faces of the very small number of American soldiers who get in trouble on the front page or the national news, and whatever the circumstance they always find a way to twist the facts or suppress certain facts in order to further their liberal agenda.

Answer 4

I've been a military spouse during part or all of every Presidential term beginning with Carter. The military has been built up during all of the Republican presidential administrations. It's been decimated during both Democratic presidential administrations.

Comparatively speaking, Democrats don't support the American Army anywhere!!!

Answer 5

The Liberals in the democratic party hate that they have to act like they support the military. Some far left liberals tryed to kick recruiters of public property. How is that for "support the troops"?

Answer 6

Democrats support the troops for serving our country! We just want them to come home safely.

Answer 7

Kerry's remark was targeted at Bush and his advisors. Watch the actual video - it's quite clear.

Yes, everyone supports the troops, they just think Bush "botched" the invasion and aftermath.

And, for, the record, it has been the Mother of All Botched Occupations.

Answer 8

I think there is an undercurrent of suspicion of American power, and a resentment towards the military.

Many liberals are idealistic and feel that being proud of the military smacks of militarism and excessive nationalism. They consider themselves "citizens of the world" and more "enlightened" than those who genuinely love their country and express their pride and gratitude towards our fighting forces.

Peace is better than war. Bus sometimes we need to defend ourselves.

Answer 9

Democrats only love our soldiers if they have family who are in the military. They dont support what the soldiers are ordered to do, but my view is if I was hired to do something (I went to apply at that job because I wanted it), I would do my job to the best of my ability. They shoved his "botched joke" up his butt.

Answer 10

YOU DECIDE::::::::::::::::::::::::What part of the War on Terrorism do they support?
By Ann Coulter
This year's Democratic plan for the future is another inane sound bite designed to trick
American voters into trusting them with national security.

To wit, they're claiming there is no connection between the war on terror and the war in
Iraq, and while they're all for the war against terror -- absolutely in favor of that war --
they are adamantly opposed to the Iraq war. You know, the war where the U.S. military is
killing thousands upon thousands of terrorists (described in the media as "Iraqi civilians
," even if they are from Jordan, like the now-dead leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi).
That war.

As Howard Dean put it this week, "The occupation in Iraq is costing American lives and hampering
our ability to fight the real global war on terror."

This would be like complaining that Roosevelt's war in Germany was hampering our ability to fight
the real global war on fascism. Or anti-discrimination laws were hampering our ability to fight the
real war on racism. Or dusting is hampering our ability to fight the real war on dust.

Maybe Dean is referring to a different globe, like Mars or Saturn, or one of those new planets
they haven't named yet.

Assuming against all logic and reason that the Democrats have some serious objection to the war in
Iraq, perhaps they could tell us which part of the war on terrorism they do support. That would be
easier than rattling off the long list of counterterrorism measures they vehemently oppose.

They oppose the National Security Agency listening to people who are calling specific phone numbers
found on al-Qaida cell phones and computers. Spying on al-Qaida terrorists is hampering our ability
to fight the global war on terror!

Enraged that the Bush administration deferred to the safety of the American people rather than the
obstructionist Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court, one Clinton-appointed judge, James Robertson,
resigned from the FISA court in protest over the NSA spying program.

Democratic Sen. Russell Feingold called for a formal Senate censure of President Bush when he found out
the president was rude enough to be listening in on al-Qaida phone calls. (Wait until Feingold finds out the
White House has been visiting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's "MySpace" page!)

Last week a federal judge appointed by Jimmy Carter ruled the NSA program to surveil phone calls to
al-Qaida members in other counties unconstitutional.

Democrats oppose the detainment of Taliban and al-Qaida soldiers at our military base in Guantanamo,
Cuba. Democrats such as Rep. Jane Harman, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee,
have called for Guantanamo to be shut down.

The Guantanamo detainees are not innocent insurance salesmen imprisoned in some horrible mix-up like
something out of a Perry Mason movie. The detainees were captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
You remember -- the war liberals pretended to support right up until approximately one nanosecond after
John Kerry conceded the 2004 election to President Bush.

But apparently, imprisoning al-Qaida warriors we catch on the battlefield is hampering our ability to fight the
global war on terror.

Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin has compared Guantanamo to Nazi concentration camps and Soviet gulags,
based on a report that some detainees were held in temperatures so cold that they shivered and others
were forced to listen to loud rap music -- more or less approximating the conditions in the green room at
"The Tyra Banks Show." Also, one of the detainees was given a badminton racket that was warped.

New York Times columnist Bob Herbert complained this week that detainees in Guantanamo have
"no hope of being allowed to prove their innocence." (I guess that's excluding the hundreds who have been
given administrative hearings or released already.)

Of course all the usual "human rights" groups are carping about how brutally our servicemen in Guantanamo
are treating the little darlings who are throwing feces at them.

Democrats oppose the Patriot Act, the most important piece of legislation passed since 9/11, designed to make
the United States less of a theme park for would-be terrorists.

The vast majority of Senate Democrats (43-2) voted against renewing the Patriot Act last December,
whereupon their minority leader, Sen. Harry Reid, boasted: "We killed the Patriot Act" --
a rather unusual sentiment for a party so testy about killing terrorists.

In 2004, Sen. John Kerry -- the man they wanted to be president -- called the Patriot Act
"an assault on our basic rights." At least all "basic rights" other than the one about not dying a horrible death
at the hand of Islamic fascists. Yes, it was as if Congress had deliberately flown two commercial airliners into
the twin towers of our Constitution.

They oppose profiling Muslims at airports.

They oppose every bust of a terrorist cell, sneering that the cells in Lackawanna, New York City, Miami,
Chicago and London weren't a real threat like, say, a nondenominational prayer before a high school football game.
Now that's a threat.
