I have supported the President throughout this conflict because I believe, in the long run, any action we take now to stem the tide of Islamo-Fascism will mean less that we will have to do in the future. As far as the latest proposal, authored by General Petraeus, I wish that they had just called it what it is, a reinforcement, rather than a surge. I'd be willing to bet you that out of all the libs who are protesting everything the President does, less than 5% of them have ever heard a shot fired in anger

For a PhD, you are a slow learner, aren't you? After so many failures suddenly Dubya is going to be successful? You are deluding yourself. That's like expecting a high school senior who has made F's his entire academic career to suddenly begin making straight A's. It's not impossible, but extremely, extremely unlikely. Oh, and by the way, Congress can do something about his misadventures in Iraq and any future attempt to start a war with Iran and Syria. They have the power of the purse, and they can flat out say they will not fund them, because Bush, by the will of the people, no longer has rubberstampers sitting at the helm of that body. Also, Congress is the body which, by the Constitution, has the power to declare war, not the executive branch. No declaration, no funding, no war! It's that simple.
As for protests doing no good, again you apparently haven't learned from the past. The protests against the Vietnam War during the 1960's and 70's did plenty to galvanize public opposition to Johnson and McNamara's miscreant adventures in that area of the world. And ultimately, we withdrew, with few if any of the dire consequences predicted by the warhawks materializing. It took a while, but ultimately that conflict was deemed a lost cause, just as this one will be.
In the end George W. Bush will retire to his home in Crawford a broken man, where he will be despised by many and shunned by many more, just like LBJ at the end of his political career. Even ministers of his own religious sect, the United Methodists, are beginning to distance themselves from Bush through their protests against SMU's bid to become the home to his library. That says much about the man when even people you would expect to be like-minded deplore his behavior and seek to dissociate themselves from his memory.
Lest you think I am prejudiced against both LBJ and Bush, think again. I am related to both these men. To LBJ I am related by blood on the maternal side of my family because his great-grandfather was one of my g-g-g-grandfather's younger brothers and to Dubya through marriage on the paternal side of my family. But I don't let these relationships get in the way when sizing up the characters of these men. They were/are both scoundrels, and both well deserving of public pillorying.

I'm a conservative Republican and proudly voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 and I can honestly say.... I'm sick and tired of the Iraq War and the rhetoric coming from this administration. Why, at the expense of our national defense are we continuing to fight in somebody else's civil war? It makes no sense to me. We've done our job, we've captured the bad guys, now let the crazy Iraqis work this out themselves. Screw the troop surge and let's bring our troops home NOW dammit!
MathBioMajor - Yawn. More liberal rhetoric. And quite the good liar too. I guess they go hand-in-hand.

you may purchase one... yet they're intense priced and under no circumstances typically as sturdy as any you'll make. that is person-friendly to make a wand... and in case you pick a effective one attempt this... walk in a wooded area (park) together with your swiss military knife (that is the variety I have, yet any pocket knife is sturdy... I anoint recommendations with oil on days even as it does holy artwork as hostile to on a daily basis mundane makes use of) on your pocket. once you detect a tree that talks to you, sit down less than it and meditate for your time. (20 minutes is typically sturdy) communicate over with it somewhat. even as the time is ideal, shrink off a small, skinny branch, about the dimensions of your elbow to finger education. Thank the tree, and later, flow to visit this tree many times in case you may... to mediate less than it. The means of that categorical, man or woman tree will empower your wand... next.. optionally accessible.. Get some copper twine, and wrap it around the wand, even perhaps glue or tie a quartz crystal into the wand someplace. (or and amethist or in spite of strikes you extremely... no longer a hemetite or onyx although... you pick extra means, no longer grounding together with your wand) voala... wand.

Yes,WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
Wait- that sounds a little like something from George Orwell's 1984. Each of these is of course either contradictory or the opposite of what is normally believed, and in 1984, the world is in a state of constant war, no one is free, and everyone is ignorant.

Get on the same page as the rest of us? Sir, you are the minority, get on the same page as the rest of US. You are misunderestimating the President's ability to drag down his own party in his quest to secure a positive light for his legacy. The facts have been in for well over a year, some people just refuse to see them.

Bush hasn't got a plan. It's just more b.s. . If he could come up with a plan he would have done it already. All the facts are in. The facts : George Bush is an idiot.

actually it seems the right wingers hate and liberals not so much
also, liberals DO wait for the facts most of the time but the right wingers like Bush don't.
it seems most of the accusations you make on liberals apply to the people liberals are trying to educate and correct.
right wingers need to cool it and stop trying to start wars in Iran and Syria and end the war in Iraq - which we already lost thanks to Bush not listening to anyone

Lots of words written in capitals with unnecessary exclamation points and question marks from this "PhD".
Yep...you're a conservative.
