I am not real informed on the whole thing. Since my husband joined the Army, I banned my self from watching any type of news or anything like that. So it has been years since I have been informed. Any answers please?

God, I hope you are the real thing because this is such a weak forum to get real solid input of the type you are asking for.
The answer is unknown. It would have also been unknown if the Reps had won the House, so there. The general answer is "not much" since the president has the biggest role in foreign policy and especially in military action. If the administration would do a better job of promoting conceptual clarity on their actions in Iraq it might be easier to reach more agreement in the general population.
The action in Iraq was necessary and I believe overdue. The exit strategy of leaving a stable and secure democratic society will be in the region's and our best interests. Don't be fooled by the immediate and limited view that many liberal thinkers use to trash our role there. The outcome of an early exit would leave a world much more exposed to dictator thugs and adversarial others that have no interest other than their own immediate gratification by bringing death and destruction everywhere where freedom should reign.

This is what kills me about the entire hype about this election and the war. This election won't effect much of anything to do with the war regardless of who ends up with the majorities and all.
Why? Well b/c the only person who has power of pulling troupes out of Iraq is Bush. All that the elections yesterday will effect by having Democratic control is funding. The thing is the Democrats won't vote against funding b/c even though they are against the war they do support the troupes.
I am a Dem, voted Dem, but my votes had nothing to do with the war b/c I know if I want change in that area my vote will count more in 2 years then now. Yesterday I voted on the smaller issues per the press, Stem Cell Research, Jobs, Economy, Taxes and Gay rights. These were issues that were effected more by the election then the war.

..well 2 things, first- Iraq will not change much at all for some time. how long, anybodies guess or estimate. hopefully not long.
second- i dont understand, though i respect, you not watching news or current events. That place is way scewed up in some parts, and in other parts- fully functioning. So it depends upon if the Iraqi gov. can get it together like they claimed they would.
Until then, we prolly wont be going anyway regardless of the power-shift here at home.

I just hope Democrats do a better job of funding the military now than they did the last time they had control. But that's wishful thinking. What do I think will really happen? I can't say it any better than daughter of eve did.

They will stop funding for the war, then hundreds more of our service people will die because they don't have the equipment or ammo they need to defend themselves. Then, they will blame President Bush.

They will ban firearms. That way nobody gets hurt.
