Do any neo-cons out there still feel Iraq is going well?

Answer 1

I'm not a neo-con but given the very low casualities we are experiencing, I'd say the American Press is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Iraq was a bad idea, and there are many alternatives to war. But now that we are in Iraq, best do it right lest we be seen as cowards.

I can hardly wait for the muslim riots in Minneapolis and Keith Ellison defense of it.

Answer 2

It is going exactly according to the Neo-Con plan for the region.
So it's working for them, to find out what happens next vist the link below.

An extract from a Letter to Congress on Increasing U.S. Ground Forces
January 28, 2005


Dear Senator Frist, Senator Reid, Speaker Hastert, and Representative Pelosi:

The United States military is too small for the responsibilities we are asking it to assume. Those responsibilities are real and important. They are not going away. The United States will not and should not become less engaged in the world in the years to come. But our national security, global peace and stability, and the defense and promotion of freedom in the post-9/11 world require a larger military force than we have today. The administration has unfortunately resisted increasing our ground forces to the size needed to meet today's (and tomorrow's) missions and challenges.

So we write to ask you and your colleagues in the legislative branch to take the steps necessary to increase substantially the size of the active duty Army and Marine Corps. While estimates vary about just how large an increase is required, and Congress will make its own determination as to size and structure, it is our judgment that we should aim for an increase in the active duty Army and Marine Corps, together, of at least 25,000 troops each year over the next several years.

Answer 3

Probably the same sort of people who were commenting on how lovely the band sounded on the Titanic as it was sinking. There remains a small minority of people who believe that massive deficit spending, death and destruction in Iraq, and a large increase in terrorists angry with America is a positive result. These folks believe we are actually accomplishing something positive in Iraq, and disregard any information or news that contradicts their belief system.

Answer 4

There are a lot of good things happening in Iraq, but you never hear of it becuase Al-Qaeda and the Democrats control the media nowadays and they feed the people of the world with the negative incidents, which they themselves are the creators of these negative incidents.

So, now do you see how politics works!!!?????!!!??

Answer 5

As long the masses continue to suckle the tit of the liberal left wing media, the progress our troops are making will never go reported.

Answer 6

Are you going to deny that 80% of the fighting is happening in 20% of the country, while the rest of the country is developing nicely?

Noone is going to say it is not horrible for our soldiers to be attacked, but for people to ignore the good things happening, while dwelling only on the bad, show an obvious bias.

Answer 7

Judge for youself, if they can not perform an execution are they going well, come on look at the economics behind your question.

Answer 8

Only the ones in denial that blindly support the president no matter what he does. My whole family is conservative except me, and they are having a tough time defending Bush. They have admitted to me that they are fed up too and have no idea what is going on.

Fozzie's on crack if he really thinks that.

Answer 9

Yes. If you'd listen to the positive stories about what's going on there, you'd see it, too.

Talk to 10 people from the military who were there. You'll hear a thousand positive stories about how grateful most of the people are that we saved them from a ruthless dictator.

Answer 10

I doubt if anyone is that naive, but hopefully things will turn around in the next few months and we can bring the troops home.
