Do Conservatives want troops in Iraq to make them feel safe at home?

Question

How is that support for the troops?

The Conservative Motto:
It's better to have our troops over there dying and fighting than to have terrorists here attacking in America

That is coward through and through

Also Bush has playied right into Osama's plans.
He has thinned our military, used up our financial and physical resources and created a debt that will take decades to fix.

He wastes time in Iraq who had nothing to do with 9/11 and lets the real attackers roam free. That in itself is a slap in the face to all those who died on 9/11. It is a slap in the face every time Bush uses the term "War on Terror" because they have not fought those responsible for 9/11 since entering into Iraq.

This war is joke! The fear of terror is a joke. Conservatives are a joke and an embarrassment to this entire country.

Answer 1

The Middle East will never be peaceful without ending the Israeli occupation. This is the conclusion of the UN, EU, Backer-Hamilton report, and President Carter new book. No one could NOT change his mind unless he has no mind.
Occupying other people by force is losing policy in the past and now and has no future.

Answer 2

That's what the military is for dumbass. They are the reason we don't have to fight here. It is to keep it from happening. Fear of terror is a joke? Where were you for the first month after 9/11? My guess was you were preoccupied trying to pick this big wad of buggers out of your nose and once you were successful, the whole side of your head collapsed. A slap in the face to those who died on 9/11? You need to be slapped in the face, maybe that will wake you up a little bit. For your information, we are still in Afghanistan, but have the help of NATO forces. Our government isn't the only government that had information suggesting iraq was in possesion of weapons of mass destruction. There are several others. Democrats as well as Republicans voted for this war. We will win. The reason it's taking so long is because people like you that have the same attitude are slowing it down. Why don't you try blaming the Iraqi government also. If they were living up to their commitments, we wouldn't be in this situation right now. You my friend, need to chill out and go back to drinking your latte.

Answer 3

OK first of all, he is not letting the "real attackers" roam free. We are still looking for them, if it was up to Bush we would have killed Osama a long time ago.

Is it a joke when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he wants to wipe Israel of the face of the Earth? Or when he says the Holocaust never happened? Or when Iran supplies insurgents and sends them into Iraq to fight the US? This war is serious, and the outcome will have a huge effect for years to come.

Try pulling for our side some time.

Answer 4

Wow, obviously you have no idea how the military works or how government works. Your question is more proof that common sense is not genetically a given. More people die in the city of Los Angeles and Chicago in any given day than soldiers do in Iraq. I would much rather have soldiers fighting abroad then citizens fighting in their own neighborhoods...maybe you don't?

Our military is not thinned out. As a member of our military, I can say from personal knowledge that we are not thinned out. We are a dominating force on the battlefield...but because of some liberals, we have to play a diplomatic war where we have to be carefull not to step on others toes and be mindfull of others religious beliefs. If we were able to storm Mosques and other such buildings in Iraq where terrorists hide and shoot at us, we wouldn't be fighting with one hand tied behind our backs.

Saddam did not have anything to do with Al Quaida in Afghanistan, but he did sponsor terrorists. He paid Palestinian families of suicide bombers over $20,000 to do suicide bombings. Why do you think that the only people who were not happy to see us overthrow the Iraqi regime under Saddam were the Palestinians and Iranians? Because Saddam was funding the suicide bombers...

And finally, if you think the fear of terror is a joke...read a history book about the world trade center attacks...both of them, then read about the Kobar Towers attack; and then maybe you will learn that the threat of terrorist attacks is not a joke...and understand why were fighting the war we are fighting.

Answer 5

You are so right. Bush did nothing but sit back and make horrible decisions on where these so called terrorists are, and yet what do we have to show for it? A dead Iraqi president, a an oil rich Arab country that is beating the sh*t out of itself with the aid of it's neighbors. How patriotic are you people, if you agree that more people must be sent to Iraqi where in the past 2 days alone there have been almost 200 non natural deaths. I bet half the people that answered so far haven't watched 60 Minutes this past Sunday where the president himself admitted that terrorists and WMDs had absolutely nothing to do with his decision to send troops into Iraq. If you think I'm so full of liberal cr*p right now, why don't you watch this past Sunday's(1/14/07) edition of 60 Minutes, about 10 minutes into the interview and become a little bit more well-rounded in other people's views.

Answer 6

shall we take those questions one by technique of one shall we, a million. because they have already declared the conflict in Iraq lost and they want the troops living house as a thanks to make certain that lose and draw close it round Bush's neck as a thanks to win in 2008 2. they are going to call for a resign date, declare the surge is lost earlier it starts or maybe as putting ahead the conflict lost they are going to nonetheless fund sending the troops. real compassion there. 3. protecting Congressional hearings does no longer equivalent fixing the concern. Walter Reed has been in a downward spiral for years, it became heading down even even as Clinton became President. What you've the following is the understand-how that Walter Reed is on the BRAC record so the bean counters didn't wish to spend something on something that became going to close in many years anyhow. 4. The conflict on pay will develop isn't over yet. they are quite in many cases batteling over a lot less then a % of a pay develop. in basic terms because this band of Democrats "seem" to be for the protection stress does no longer detract from the years earlier even as they were squarely adverse to the protection stress. 5. i'm a troop and thanks to Hlliary Care, sorry, I advise Tricare, we've a lot less accessible treatment and our retirees that were promised existence time healthcare are literally finding out it became a lie. 6. BONUS answer! evaluate this in case you'll. searching at your fact about Walter Reed health center. seem at how poorly the authorities ran that position, an section for our wounded Veterans, those who served our usa. What you spot at Walter Reed is an get jointly of authorities run health care, now note that usa huge. Like what you spot?

Answer 7

Actually Clinton played right into Osamas' hands, while Osama attacked us in 93, Clinton lobbed a couple of cruise missiles at a tent in Afghanistan and then proceeded to gut the military.

Answer 8

So our brave soldiers are cowards for fighting over seas?
What makes you think we aren't currently looking for Osama.
What makes you so important that you need to know where we have looked/currently looking? Don't you think it would be in the governments best interest to not let Osama know where we are looking next? Ask Tillman why we aren't looking for him. Oh, that's right we can't because he DIED trying to find him. That alone is disgracing soldiers memories.
And for the millionth time, Bush said himself that 9/11 has nothing to do with the war in Iraq.

Answer 9

James it is good to see that during the election you were with the minority. I don't agree with all of Bush's views but I would much rather have a president that acts rather than reacts. I don't want Americans to have to die to get the prez to take action against our enemies. I know people like to say Saddam posed no threat but the Intelligence from both Clinton's and Bush's staff said different as did Intel from many other countries and I don't think they were all wrong.

Answer 10

War in Iraq and 9/11 has nothing to do with each other.

Glad to know that you have inside details on Osama Intel. Care to tell us where he is?

The gun toting people who aim their gun at American military; they are not your friends, no matter what ACLU tells you

We would like to get some information out of these people that were captured in Iraq, but your ACLU buddies don't let pentagon do their job.

Soldiers who went to Iraq did so willingly (it is called volunteer enlistment). They fight the gun toting terrorists, who come to Iraq to destabilize the region, after they been trained by the department of defense. People who dies on 9/11 did not volunteered to be killed.

but of course you know all that, but you refuse to believe there are evil out there. Closing your eyes does not make it dark for everybody.
