Answer 1

No nothing so complicated. It's just that they are invested in Americas defeat. Winning will not help with their Bush bashing agenda.

Answer 2

As a retired soldier, i am going to assert that I through no skill were given the feeling that the Democrats supported our troops. I bear in concepts lower back interior the 70's and eighty's even as Ted Kennedy and his ilk were attempting again up with recommendations of restricting probability-free practices rigidity pay will advance mutually as attempting to be particular the thanks to advance welfare and different social software entitlements. this cutting-area prepare of shock is so sparkling that it makes me ill so see the variety of bent reveal.

Answer 3

You pretty much have it right. There are traitors out there, and some of them are in Congress.

I'm glad you asked this question, because lots of people are misunderstanding what's going on with these resolutions, and they think the Republicans are against debate. The New York Times is slanting it that way.

The Republicans want debate, the Democrats want to hide.

Answer 4

Whats really unpatriotic is to use them in a War for profit.
To have them die for a pack of lies is unpatriotic.

Bush, who criticized "nation building" as a candidate in 2000, became a globe-changing Jacobin: "Here we are with a failure in Iraq, a massive failure. Not only an intelligence failure, but it looks like it's gonna be a real failure on the ground. How do you suddenly transform that? Well, you suddenly become a Jacobin yourself, you're suddenly for this messianic spread of freedom and democracy around the world. You're suddenly an advocate of all things that John F. Kennedy was an advocate of: 'We will bear any burden, pay any price.' You've discarded John Quincy Adams, who said we're the friends of liberty everywhere, the custodians only of our own. And you've suddenly said, 'I'm the custodian of the whole world's liberty, and by God if you don't realize it I'm going to bring it to you -- and if I have to bring it to you at the point of a gun, that's the way I'm going to bring it to you!' "

First of all because when you wage war, you inevitably create innocent victims. When you wage war on terrorists who don't announce their whereabouts, the danger of hitting the innocent people is even greater. We abhor terrorists, because they kill innocent people for political goals. But by waging war on terror we are doing the same thing. And the people who are on the receiving end see us in the same light with the same negative attitude as we have towards terrorists. It's also a threat to our democracy. Because when you wage war, the president can appropriate for himself excessive powers. He can call anyone who criticizes his policies unpatriotic. That undermines the critical process of an open society and that is how we made this tremendous blunder of invading Iraq.

Answer 5

Why won't the Republicans allow a conversation on Iraq..

Answer 6

Because they hate the military and anyone associated with it (including the troops). And if they really had principles and guts, they would just cut the funding. But they are all cowards.

Answer 7

What you are really saying is why won't they support the republicans who support the President.

Answer 8

Democrats want us to lose in Iraq.
Many Democrats want us to lose to the terrorists.
But it's kind of tricky.....
They try to defeat us, but while they ruin our country, they have to act like they "care".

Answer 9

Mindless drivel.

Answer 10

We will end this ridiculous war.

and you're a moron
