Bush has morality and convictions, Hillary only has a hubbie that should have been convicted. She is following in Kerry's footsteps and changing positions to meet the latest poll directions.

Hillary is also talking about sending more troop to help in Africa's little civil war. War has causlties, its the price that we pay. Its the sacrifice that we give when we raise our right hand. The death toll seems a little extreme but only because the United States isnt as tough as it once was. 3,000 is a pretty big number and yes I do feel for every single one of those families and I do hope that I am luck enough to not get included into that catagory, that number has been added to for 5-6 years now. Look at some of the battles from our past wars, we lost 50 times more than that in a single day.

Bush IS going to send them. Hillary IS all talk, all the dems are. They are currently voting on a "non-binding vote" letting the public know that they are against the idea of sending more troops. But if they REALLY wanted to end the war, they would just vote to stop the funding of the troops. That would force Bush's hand into ending the mission. But they are afraid that would not look good in the publics eyes, which is what they are constantly worried about. What I cant believe is that before the last election, all the dems ran on a platform of "bringing our troops home". And all they have managed to do is conduct a meaningles, non-binding vote. The dems need to grow a spine!!

You want something to cry about? Statistically speaking for the first 3 years of the war in Iraq, there were more people killed in Washington D.C. per capita (if you know what that means) than in the entire country of Iraq. Tells me we should pull out of DC! Bush wants to fight terrorists on their own soil, not ours. Would you feel better if we pulled our troops out so that they could fight in your neighborhood instead? Hillary is going to say and do and flip flop with the winds of public opinion as many times as she feels is necessary to win the election. She wants the power. She could care less about the safety or security of the country.

The generals think of that they'd do the interest without that many human beings. that's a sturdy difficulty, via fact there are no longer that many greater human beings to deliver. that's a foul difficulty, via fact if we would desire to do something in Iran or North Korea, we don't have the folk to do it. we've a call in Iraq: we are in a position to win, or we are in a position to lose. If we lose, are you able to think of what the Taliban and al Qaeda will do in Iraq? al Qaeda has been announcing all alongside that the yank human beings have not got the tummy for a protracted war, and that they'd win via outlasting us. interestingly that they are amazing.

Politics in an exercise in confrontational rhetoric. You attack whatever the other person says. If He is in favor of something then You must take a view that is both diametrically antagonistic to His premise, but also middle of the road (yet main stream enough) to garner the most supporters to Your campaign. At the same time Your wording must be sufficiently ambiguous so as not to commit Yourself to any future action.
Easy, really, isn't it?

Hillary is only saying what the public wants to hear. The Democrats won the elections in November because they were saying what the public wanted to hear. But in reality they forgot to mention that only the president has the power to withdraw troops. And a withdrawal is a process in itself. One that I don't think Hillary has the backbone to do.

How many were killed in the united states ,when drug dills went bad or some other stupid **** today.. a lot more than 14 .. These soldiers know what they are there for its a solders dream to be in combat and save his country.. I know because I was one of those young soldiers that fought in Viet Nam....I retired a 1ST Sgt. and am very proud of our men in combat.. Did you know that only about 13% of our country thinks enough about it to fight for it ... these men were more than willing to step forward when duty called to protect our country.. This distinctive honer is only for our greatest hero's..

Conservatives don't want to hear the truth about Bush's failures and therefore berate Hillary in every silly, insignificant and foolish way they can. They realize she is a threat to their war profiteering. I don't know how many deaths will finally be enough. You unfortunately will only get childish and nonsensical rants from the Bushites.

I agree 100% Our troops don't deserve this B.S. and it's all because of President Bush's hidden Agenda.

Our soldiers in Iraq have a higher rate of survival than the average shmoe in Pittsburgh or DC. If they were all from North Dakota, than maybe they'd be worse off in Iraq... But if you're going to cry for the soldiers in Iraq, then please also shed a tear for our civilians in our nation's own capital.
