Doesn't it behoove someone, whether Democrat or Republican, to not tongue-lash a fellow american in public?

Question

Especially when the recipient is doing the best he can best as president?

Ref: Pelosi calls Iraq a 'stark blunder'

Don't you think this also hurts the morale of our troops?

the best he can

Answer 1

Pelosi's inflammatory comments certainly goes against the Dems pre-election promises to work with the current administration in a non-partisan manner.
The Dems continue to criticize without pause.

I dont think they really care about the troops morale at all.
The Liberal Democrats have demonstrated their negative feelings toward our military on more than one occasion.

Answer 2

I don't buy that he is doing the best he can. He initially ran on a uniter not a divider platform. But, he was a divider not a uniter when he got into office. There are people in Texas who thought he was a great Governor and wonder what happened as President. These people are ashamed to have voted for him.

He will not listen to differing ideas.
He refused to admit he was wrong until recently.
The surge is not a new strategy; it is a continuation of the old strategy.

Iraq was a stark blunder. We were supposed to be welcomed as liberators and the whole thing would be over in a year or so. It hasn't happened. As for the moral of our troops, their moral must be hurt be the fact that Bush talks the same talk, but there will be more soldiers in harm's way in the future. Nothing is changing and more lives will be ended for something that could have been avoided.

It is about time that people woke up and considered the cost of throw these soldiers' lives away. Bush certainly doesn't care as he has shown by his policies and actions.

Do you want to raise the moral of the troops? Bring them home or allow them to pacify the whole country - which will mean killing thousands if not millions of people.

Answer 3

Iraq is a stark blunder and it's high time Bush stops hiding behind the troops. His "If you criticize me, you criticize the troops" act is wearing thin. Pelosi is doing her job.

Answer 4

for a president doing the best he can do, is not good enough.
