why do republicans support him?
The Pentagon wants the White House to seek an additional $99.7 billion to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to information provided to The Associated Press.
The military's request, if embraced by President Bush and approved by Congress, would boost this year's budget for those wars to about $170
The Vietnam War cost an inflation-adjusted $121 billion at its height in 1968, according to the Congressional Research Service. The overall tally for Vietnam is $663 billion, adjusted for inflation, and Iraq costs are rapidly catching up.
Halliburton Co. is a Texas-based oil services conglomerate once led by Vice President Dick Cheney. Bush administration officials have come under fire since the beginning of the war in Iraq for awarding more than $10 billion to the company and its subsidiaries in 2003 and 2004, some of it in a no-bid contract.

Absolutely! And they're selling this war just like they did Vietnam. If we don't win dire consequences will result. Nonsense!
Now, it's "If we don't win there will be terrorists in Des Moines!"
It's time for the insanity to stop but it won't. More Americans will die for this useless, illegal war!

And yet the donkey's couldn't find a guy the people would elect. First Gore lost to Bush, then Kerry. Uh, if they could find a decent candidate, America would have voted for them. That is the way I see it. I wouldn't want to be the guys that lost to him. It seems instead of saying "who is the better candidate" it's "well at least he's not the other guy." Yeah, I know I got the elephant, but I really have common sense. The Dems got the congress, now can they secure a seat in the oval office?

was that even a question...
i don't love bush either, but there is a big difference than him and Bin Laden. you forget all of the lives Bush and our government have saved, what we are fighting for. Yes we weren't perfect during Katrina, but who is. That is why so many people stepped up to the plate and gave money to help those people, why many republicans were voted out of office. As for the money, this is soo we can continue to keep terrorists at bay and try to keep the world safer. right now with the money and troops that we are using in Iraq and Afganistan right now, that isn't happening, which is why the pentagon is asking for this additional support. As for bush killing Americans. As far as i know the only politician who has actually hit a person using a gun has been Cheney. It has been the terrorists who have killed all of those in Irag, not Bush. Start getting a larger variety of news sources, not just your super-liberal source. check out CNN, NBC, Yahoo news and maybe even the conservative Fox news to get a bit more variety.

Everything is relative. The average house during the vietnam war was under $20,000. There were close to 50K americans killed in that war too. We also did not rebuild the infrustructure like we are doing in Iraq. Soldiers were paid $99 a month if that. You hate this Administration, we get that. You can get numbers to say anything you like if you manipulate them enough. I still support this president and wonder just what your point is.

It's funny how "morally concious" Americans always look at the cost of the war in $$$. Look, we went in because we wanted to lay down some law and kick some ragheads asses! We are there and likely will be for a years to come....get used to it. We can't pull out now and all this whining by liberal Democrats is getting played. What would Clinton or Gore have done? Launch and air raid and blow up some munitions dumps? Big freakin deal. We are talking about a worldwide order of terrorists bankrolled by GOVERNMENTS who tell us we are pals to our face and then fund guerilla training camps in the rural areas of their third-world backward *** countries for the purpose of flying and/or blowing passneger jets with you and your mom and your three-year old kid onboard for the glory of Allah! If you want to go to the UN and shake a piece of paper at them, you are welcomed to make them laugh at you...I am FOR our action in Iraq, and brace yourself because we may need to go into Iran and Syria too. These people don't speak diplomacy when they sleep on dirt floors and eat rats for dinner. You have nothing to offer them in dialogue...they speak jealousy and rage and violence. We need to answer that violence with violence. Shameful, yes, but necessary.

That is a question?
Sounds more like you are using yahoo answers to spout your left-wing agenda. When you make something like "Bush has killed more..." your opening statement, you really need to provide factual sources to prove you are correct, instead of a liberal parrot.
So do you mean, or troops should not be fully funded?

1) there haven't been any more terrorist attacks on American soil since 9/11.
2) economy is almost as good as it was in the Reagan era
3) tax cuts
4) values (against gay marriage and EMBRYONIC stem cell research)
5) has not choked us with high taxes
6) unemployment rate at an all time low
7) took out Saddam, improving the lives of millions of Iraqis

Bush has spent more money in Iraq than the USA has spent in all the years put together on welfare since the beginning of welfare.
