~Yes, they shouldn't be at Bush's disposal for his personal agenda's.
I feel sorry for all the ones that died, the families that suffer because of it and the ones hurt by it. They're all victims.
Merry Christmas~
Some soldiers agree they should be there, others don't. It's unfortunate for the ones that know they aren't there for a good reason, they know they're being used. How sad. :(

specific they signed as much as combat for the protection of our united states. Our national protection. They arent protecting america from Iraq, Bush in basic terms ordered an invasion of that tiny united states, so sure, the troops are betrayed.

Bush hasn't betrayed anyone. I feel sorry for them being subjected to insults & ridicule from Democrats.

Yes. Bush has manipulated America and especially the troops. He is a poor commander in chief. Here's an example of Bush's con artist-like behavior:
In October, Bush said the U.S. was "absolutely" winning in Iraq, and Cheney described the "general overall situation" there as going "remarkably well." Some of Bush's former political allies on the issue are harsly questioning Bush's happy talk. Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR), once a strong supporter of Bush's Iraq policy, has called the continuation of Bush's policy "criminal," a "dereliction," and "deeply immoral." Yet the administration is still not taking the tough criticism seriously. Yesterday, Tony Snow dismissed Smith's comments, saying that "politics are emotional." When asked if Smith is in "favor of democracy," Snow said, "I don't know." "The situation in Iraq is grave and deteriorating," the Iraq Study Group report found. One reporter asked Bush about the group's appraisal, wondering if he was "still in denial about how bad things are in Iraq." "It's bad in Iraq," Bush said curtly. "That help?"

HE hsn't betrayed them, the war might be a mistake, but until you go over there and experience it, you wouldn't know about soldiers and what they think. Leaving now would accomplish nothing, and throw away the lives of those already injured or dead.

Despite one's opinions about the war, I can't say that I feel sorry for them because I think that would make American soldiers feel as if they were ineffective. No matter what, I think the troops should be supported and praised for their efforts and heroism. So, no, I don't feel sorry for them.

No and most of the troops don't feel that way either.

If you would listen to things the troops themselves have to say, they are happy to be there, they are doing a lot of good over there, the media that you adore so much is just giving the dark side of what is happening over there.!!!! like they always have and always will. SUPPORT YOUR TROOPS!!!

One tour of duty then 2 tours of duty........these men and women have families, mortgages to pay, bills, all the same things we have with 1/3 the pay. My cousin lost his house while on his 2nd tour of duty. The wife and 3 kids had to move in with mom and dad. They're still struggling to make ends meet, having to live in substandard rental housing. The government takes such good care of its troops....yeah right. He didn't regret being there, it just hurt to get home to a total disaster.

I think we should all join together for a moment of silence and prayer for our troops!
