Do you expect victory in Iraq?

Question

POLL: Dissatisfaction with President George W. Bush’s handling of Iraq has climbed to an alltime high of 71 percent.

Answer 1

We can't afford to loose, there's more at steak than meets the eye...

Answer 2

Bush lost 10 times over already.

Right now the Iraq Study Group is trying to come up with a scheme to get the oil.

Cheney has 100,000 private contracting companies crawling all over the country. They're not about to give up the objective of getting the oil.

The voters in the US want the troops out NOW.

The Bush Administration and the media are in another camp.

Answer 3

Things were pretty bad in the middle of WW2!!! We didn't quit and we won!

People always talk about how bad the Iraq War is...well, it is BAD but what do you expect from war people???

If we would have quit in the middle of WW2, we would all be speaking German right now. You don't decide whether we should be in Iraq or not, you decide that BEFORE you go to the damn WAR. We are in this war and now we stay to get the job done, it's too late to back off and act like nothing happened. What the American People need is FAITH!! We can do this, but when u have all that negative energy around, things ain't gonna get better.

I don't like the Democrats, they are too soft and all they say is "we are gonna bring our troops back in 6 months"...AND THEN WHAT???? You mean there is gonna be peace after we leave?? mmmm...i smell b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.

Answer 4

Hey Mike, why don't you enlighten us then? You gonna tell us it's all ice cream and cake over there? You had a great ol time? You gonna tell us our soldiers aren't dying by the dozens, and Iraqis aren't dying by the thousands (and that's the government figures)? You gonna tell us that the oil is flowing just fine, that Anbar province has been pacified? You gonna tell us that Operation: Together Forward I and II were resounding sucesses? You gonna tell us that Iran doesn't control the largest militia in iraq? You gonna tell us that the second largest militia doesn't control most of southern Iraq? You gonna tell us that the Iraqi Army doesn't have a 505 AWOL rate? Is that what your gonna tell me Mike?

Look, thanks for your service, but don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining. I don't care how liberal the media is or isn't, things there are bad, getting worse, and there is no victory in sight, and there is only one man to blame.

Answer 5

The question you should be asking is:

Are people dissatisfied with President Bush's handling of the war - or

Are people dissatisfied with the perception of the war as given to them by the news media?

But to answer your question - with the Democrats holding Congress any victory in Iraq will be a political disaster for them. They need a defeat or they lose the next elections.
How can we win under these conditions?

Answer 6

I want to point something out about the polls. They are supposed to be just randomly called people. But I know that I used to get calls quite often (and I always did the poll) as did my aunt, uncle, brother and cousin.We are all Republicans and are registered as such. Amazingly we only stopped getting these calls right around the time that poll numbers started dropping. I honestly don't think that it is done randomly. Although I don't think he'd have a high rating I think it's another way for public opinion to be swayed and that anyone who reads too much into the polls is really just a mindless drone.

Answer 7

Victory over what??? Oil... We got Saddam... What next? United State of Iraq??? Come on victory for what cause. One word OIL>>>

Answer 8

There was a victory. The war is over, but the police action, and fledgeling government placed in the vacuum of Hussein, stand to be lost. They are two seperate things, really. And, anyone who makes the two into the same thing has been watching entirely too much brainslush from the media, who told us that the Dixie Chicks were bad, but are good, now... I mean, WTF??? I don't dig too much of their music, don't approve of when and what they said, but so what? The media is SO flavor of the month that I half expect to see Kangol on anything that comes from the news.

Answer 9

Bush and his cohort Cheney have a civil war going now, it very easily could spread to more Arab Countries is's a terrible blunder on the part of the government of America. I signed a petition to impeach Bush and Cheney, they should be tried along with Blair as war criminals.

Answer 10

The same type of victory that the U.S. govt. try to pawn off on the American people as the so called victory in Vietnam.

Answer 11

Yup, I believe his dis-satisfaction is at 71% because I saw it on TV. I also believe that Batman and Spiderman are really out there fighting crime, because I saw them on TV too.

Liberal communist extremist media here in the US does the same thing it does in China and North Korea. It spouts liberal communist propaganda so mindless sheep will be brainwashed to believe it.

The same geniuses think that B.Hussein Obama (you dont see the leftist extremists telling us that) spout off that someone with no military experience or training and with less than 2 years in Washington is the answer. Hey lets entrust national security to an extremist like him.......NOT.
