NOT BUSH'S REDICULOUS ATTEMPT TO EXPORT - NO IMPOSE DEMOCRACY on other nations and put young men to death for an unjust war. and if youve reda the strategy plan in time magazine...is it not frightfully similar to communism? the war is unjust. bush doesnt give a damn about those ppl or his own american boys (lots of 18 year old children) being slaughtered by his own hand. damn so much for not saying opinion lol

IMPEACH BUSH TODAY!

"loving thy neighbor doesnt mean go kill them for money, oil, and power...."

Answer 1

I agree with Republican Senator (and Vietnam veteran) Chuck Hagel's assessment:

"This speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it's carried out," Hagel said during a Senate hearing. "I will resist it."
...
I will do everything I can to stop the president's policy as he outlined it (last) Wednesday night," said Sen. Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, decorated Vietnam War veteran and potential 2008 presidential candidate, who joined Democrats at a press conference on the resolution.

"I think it is dangerously irresponsible," said Hagel.

Hagel called Iraq "one of the most challenging issues that has ever faced our country," and said a national debate was needed to find agreement on a new strategy.

"No one wants to see this country humiliated, defeated or lose its purpose," said Hagel, a Vietnam veteran and possible Republican presidential contender in 2008 who has been a longtime critic of the war.

...

The Iraq Study Group (Baker-Hamilton commission) has it right. Bush should follow their recommendations - aggressive diplomacy with Syria, Iran, and Israel/Palestine, move U.S. troops towards supporting versus combat role, and gradually redeploy.

Answer 2

I don't think this is the best strategy. We have tried the whole 'send more troops and force some democracy' before and it doesn't work! I know that Bush has the best of intentions (I don't like him anyway) but he's completely ignoring the American people! He doesn't care that the majority of Americans, Congress, and the world don't agree with sending even more innocent people into the line of fire! So, no, I don't think his strategy is the best possibility, for Iraq or our country.

Answer 3

i think we are stuck between no ware b/c the sectarian violence is growing and more soldiers are dying every month and if you have noticed president bush he always uses 911 as his defense and to be honest i disagree with the strategy and we are also losing billion of dollars every month and plus top of that the war. i don't think that they can ever establish a democracy in Iraq. if you paid attention there are two religious groups in Iraq the shites and the sunnies. we train Iraqi soldiers and the Later on they kill each other and they also kill Americans because of the differences. THE war in Iraq is like we are teaching monkeys how to drive. it is Islamic country soon or later the are going to reinstall Islamic based govt. we are just wasting time in Iraq and we are paying for the war in Iraq with the tax payers money. anyway that was my opinion.

Answer 4

my feelings are mixed because his new policy is what anyone would do if they were in his situation. the war in Iraq almost to the T resembles the war in vietnam several years ago. we were unable to admit defeat so more troops were sent causoing mass numbers of soldiers to perish at the sword of our enemies. but the fact of the matter is who will ever admit that they have lost and give up like that. also Iraq has recently turned into a terrorist warehouse funding almost all terrorism out of the country that has run itself into the ground. with that being said you can not leave this mayhemic country without resolving problems with terrorism and civil war. the united states' departure could also be detrimental to not only our country but our allie countries in and around Iraq including Israel which is a large target to almost all muslim countries.

Answer 5

When there were over 150,000 troops in Iraq everyone said that there was not enough. Now that there are ONLY 131,000 there is not enough.
Up until Nov. of 2006 they wanted more troops in Iraq and when President Bush agrees to send more troops into the war those who wanted them there no longer want that.
Right or wrong they can not have it both ways.........or maybe they can.

Answer 6

It sucks, just like he does! Commit over 20,000 troops to be killed in an Iraqi civil war!

Senate Democrats, backed by Republicans Olympia Snowe (news, bio, voting record) of Maine and Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record) of Nebraska, unveiled legislation this week that would criticize Bush's decision.

"It is not in the national interest of the United States to deepen its military involvement in Iraq, particularly by escalating the United States military force presence in Iraq," the nonbinding Senate measure states.

"When we hold the up-or-down vote — and in the many votes that follow — our troops will get everything they need," Reid said Friday. "It is the president who will find he no longer has a blank check."

Even the Republicans are not for it!

Answer 7

And Rummie's replacement Gates is going to ask for more troops for Afghanistan, which always end up in Iraq. And no one seems able to stop them. It's so wrong on so many levels.

Answer 8

I think it is another one of his mistakes that all he has had is mistakes and lies. He talks about his legacy , he has no legacy but one those as being worst , dumbness, waving, and liars that ever set foot in the White House along with his boss Cheney. I want BUSH, CHENEY and Rice Impeached yesterday for all their War crimes. and then put on trail.

Answer 9

For the sake of the troops, I hope it works. But the joker in all this strategy stuff is the Iraqi government. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could toss them.

Answer 10

It is a disaster that will leave us in the same position we are in today, which is that of no return. It is fanning the flames and adding more insult to injury.
