Republicans say the oil revenue will pay for it, makes me wonder if they can count! With all the billons spent on Iraq,when is the oil revenue going to kick in!

This is horrible, I agree. I think Bush could have organized our efforts better.
But, you know, if we were attacked again, this time in Chicago, or Dallas or Houston or Atlanta or Boston, or Miami or Los Angeles or anywhere in America, these low life liberals would would be the first to complain that Bush was not doing enough. The bad part of this whole equation though is we never know if we're doing enough or too much. Its not an easy question.

Republican? Yup! In favor of this "war"? Not on your life!
However, I will support our brothers and sisters and family fighting for this cause. Right or wrong - they are our folk and we (as a people) are fighting to do what is right for the World!
It is not a case about money! We (North Americans - US citizens) pay more to support corruption in our own country than we do elsewhere!
It is a case about freedom and what is right and proper!
I would give my entire salary to allow the entire planet peace! Would you not?

I was against the war before I was for it. I didn't think we should strike pre-emptively especially after the weapon inspectors were allowed back in Iraq. However, since the mistake has been made, I think we have no choice now but to see it through at least to some point where we can leave with dignity. If not our world credibility is kaput.

Money means nothing, the cost of freeing one soul from the clutches of the rape rooms and torture chambers is worth the cost. People are more important than money.
THAT'S why I am a Republican.

Oh, come on.
The question is does the U.S. want to look like sisys?
If we didn't do anything then we would look bad.
We started the war wroung tho, but instead of Wineing about "Why don't we write the ppl in charge, or why don't we run to be in charge?"
The answer is we are too lazy.
The truth is hard, but isn't life?

3/4ths of the Democrates voted for the war.

Remember Dems also voted to pay for it! As soon as someone has a truly viable plan, I am voting for it. It is so easy to criticize and so difficult to solve. I am tired of the entire one-party/two-name system of good ol boys.

Absolutely...
We've spent that much in Iraq and the national deficit will turn into a national surplus in five years. Looks like GWB must be doing something right :)

It must be nice for liberals to live in a world with wars that cost nothing and result in no casualties.
