What do we do now?

Question

The latest Military Times poll shows that only 35% of the troops agree that Bush is doing a good job visa vi Iraq and only 13% thinking that we will “win” over there, top brass making it clear that they do not agree with the latest “surge” strategy, Iraq is in a civil war (by definition) and is now a veritable Petri dish for breeding terrorists, over 3000 of our troops dead and thousands of others injured and maimed for life (not to mention the hoards of Iraqi dead and injured), the U.S. Army stretched about as far as it can go (some would say it’s already at the breaking point), a new slogan from this administration coming in a few days, the election results in November, etc, etc, etc,. My question is, how can some people still support what we’re doing over there and, the way we’re doing it, still support Bush, still support the huge amounts of lives and money we’re losing? We’re in a lose-lose situation.

The select committees did NOT have all of the information that the Bush administration had. They had more than the Congress at large, but not all that the administration had. That argument is just a fallacy. What do we do now? Try to stay away from slogans if you can.

Sartoris - do you discount polls just because you don't like what they say? My daughter has school friends who have come back from Army tours in Iraq. They have told me face to face that it's a cluster f**k over there, they didn't join to be cops between to factions in a civil war.

Answer 1

Guess the Bush admin, cannot keep the truth on the down low forever.
The Neo-Cons only use polls when they benefit.
Just one more note to the Neo-Cons that never served on Active Duty.The Military Times Is Highly read By all serving in the military, and its the main source of News for all of the Armed Forces.

Answer 2

We need to let loose the dogs of war, allow our troops to act the conquering hero and alike Attila freely rape, pillage and burn as they please. I still think when all that money was found during the invasion 20% should have been given to the army guys that found it. Bring back real war, take slaves, slaughter the people. Ghenhiz is laughing at us from history.

Answer 3

we cannot leave, so we have to Win. I think move the troops to the borders and stop the insurgency, stop Iran from sending people and supplies, and let the Iraqi's form a country, if this takes civil war, to bad this is what it takes. The Iraqi;s must take control of their country.

Answer 4

Impeach Bush and Chaney and put them on trial for war crimes. Elect new leadership and really talk with the leaders of Iran, Iraq, etc.

Answer 5

Polls can be tweaked to come out with just about any result you want. It all depends on who you ask, how you word the questions, and in which order you ask them. I used to work for a company doing phone surveys. I know their tricks.

Terrorists were breeding in Iraq for decades. We did not cause terrorism.

Answer 6

You are in a lose-lose situation if you believe every poll you see.

Answer 7

Boy the fallout of the Neo-Conservative agenda is wonderful isnt it?

Some will support Bush no matter what.They dont want to think about the consequences.

If they continue to support Bush,they can still sit back in their chair and blame "liberals" for everything.Lazy thinking to the extreme.

Answer 8

We should do now what we will end up doing anyway, get out and save a few hundred of our warriors.

Answer 9

o.k. Osama-whatever you say.
