No, but is it right to leave troops in country without enough help to adequately protect themselves. And is it right to leave the Iraqi's to a worn torn country that the US, we (not sure if you are part of we or not) broke.
it isn't about right anymore we went wrong a long time ago. It is about picking the bad option from all the worst options.

Of course not! All that he's been saying is that we need to send more troops, more troops, more troops and now most of those troops are six feet under! The man must have a really low IQ to go through with that.

In this context, George W. Bush was a great boon to their efforts. Not only did he invade Iraq, which did not have a thing to do with 9/11, but he did almost everything possible to isolate America from its allies. This policy gave bin Laden ample room to target unpopular pro-American regimes from Madrid to Riyadh. Compared to the Southwest Asian battleground of Afghanistan, Iraq is a more congenial base for al-Qaida, since the language, culture, and terrain are more familiar to most Arabs. The jihadis' strategy is to get America to throw all of its resources into fighting a losing battle against Iraq's lethal patchwork of warring factions.
Bush's "surge" only throws more meat to the jackals, who gain strength and popularity with each web-broadcasted beheading or roadside bomb explosion. Like Afghanistan, Iraq gives would-be jihadis watching the conflict from their computer screens the hope of destroying the military might of the West. The jihadis also hope to expand the conflict to create what Atwan calls a "Triangle of Horror" connecting Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria.

You may consider it a game, but President Bush does not. He believes, after talking to many people, that adding the troops in addition to other things will make a bigger success in Iraq than there is.

Honestly, as hard as it may seem. I think our presidents is an idiot and anything he does is idiotic. While he's out there playing war, many people are dieing and living without mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and many friends and other people from the family. In conclusion, no, I do not think it's right for bush to "double down" on his (whatever you want to call it). I hope you figured out why I didn't capitalize his name.

I think that I answered this question before but I feel that Bush is doing what he has to protect this country.
Remember 911, when out country was at seige.

I'm not a military General and have none advising me. Therefore I shall go with the Commander in Chief, who has. That's his job.

I am going to try to take a neutral position here. I feel that if he allows the enemy to see us as backing down they will evermore try to bring it to us here in the states. I think that he has to commit now and show that he is standing his ground, show no weakness and just do business. Now is not the time to be half stepping.
