Who here is foolish to believe the dribble from Bush that the Democratic Congress is "embolding" the enemy

Question

by passing a Resolution against his Farce of a War in Iraq - supposably against Terror?

Answer 1

Nothing can embolden the enemy more than Bush's bungling. And that is the sad sad truth.

America cannot fight a War on "Terror" without allies. And Bush has essentially made this war a "go it alone" venture.

America cannot win a war that the American public no longer supports.

Bush has lost the War on "Terror" before it could really begin with his horrible decision to invade a secularized country that had nothing to do with International terrorism.

That fact in itself emboldens the enemy more than anything the Democrats could ever do.

Answer 2

'Freddie' has a point. He doesn't say what his stance is even though he spent 20yrs in the military. I do agree that at 62 yrs old(same as me, although a Canadian), he has a point that those of us who are older are much wiser! However, the States went in there (Iraq) based on what became 'drivel'. Geo. W. found a reason to get at Saddam who was the one 'who tried to kill my dad'(said by Bush). Now that you're in there, the Congress has to find(eventually and sooner than later) a way out. This could be tantamount to leaving Vietnam(over 50,000 personnel lost). This was done under a Republican president, apparently 'with honor'.

The resolution referred to is just that - the President(Commander-in-Chief) has the ultimate right to wage a war that has been approved by Congress any way he pleases within the guidlines of the Geneva Convention. One wonders though if it's really that way. Nevertheless, all the bs that's been discovered and proven to be false at least lends credence to the resolution. The Executive Branch(W. included) have lied through their collective teeth. The Congress had no choice but to pass it, (the resolution) including some pretty powerful Republicans. What else would you expect them to do - 'backdoor' condone all the bs and give W. the impression that the figments of his imagination were actually a good basis for unilaterally starting to attack Iraq? 9-11 brought on the damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't syndrome in Congress. Along with being controlled in both chambers by Republicans which virtually guaranteed that W. was gonna do it anyway, the Dems would have been deemed to be unpatriotic seeing as how they, nor anyone else could actually prove at the time the Administration was lying!!!

Answer 3

What exactly is the Democratic congress doing then? ANYTHING AT ALL??

They're programmed to oppose everything the republicans do, but the Bush admin doesn't know what they wanna do right now either. The Dems want us to lose so they can say they were right the whole time..... its OK though Hillary will get hers once the Islamic theocracy spreads its glorious quest to the US. Sharia law would probably require her tongue to be cut out and fed to a goat which would then be fed to a jew who would then be fed to a larger goat.

US needs to sh!t or get off the toilet, meaning take the Iranian Nazlims down RIGHT THIS SECOND or fall back to the nearest Israeli fallout shelter, because there IS a time limit to all this. For all we know Iran could already have the bomb and Kim Jong could already have all that oil. It would take us a very long time to process how THAT could have happened.

Answer 4

Why not believe what master terrorist Al-Zarkawi had to say?

In a letter to his followers, he implored them to keep fighting. He admitted that we were kicking the living sh*t out of them, that things looked dire. He begged them to just keep holding out a little longer because, inevitably, stupid, naive American "anti-war"
demonstrators would save their Taliban-inspired @sses.

So, you don't have to believe what Bush says, but Al-Zarkawi very plainly is saying that his people cannot prevail on the battlefield. They have been reduced to low level stunts like blowing up buses a couple blocks from their own houses. They have no funding, and cannot even use mobile phones for fear of detection.

So yes, every time we do not show a united front, a stern resolve, we embolden the enemy. In Vietnam, the Communists from the North used the same tactic. They kept telling their followers that idiots like Jane Fonda would make the U.S. government stop the war, and they would win.

Why don't you think about his a little and post a response? Give us all a heart attack and tell us you have reconsidered your position.

Answer 5

And how could it not?

Any reasonable person, objectively looking at the facts, would agree that this is precisely what the Dem's have done.

They have placed politics, specifically positioning for '08, ahead of policy.

They have placed party, ahead of country.

No amount of denial or spin can escape this reality.

If that weren't so, then why would you and others feel the need to ask the question in an effort to justify what you know to be wrong?

Answer 6

You're the fool! First because the war IS against terrorism(Saddam was a terrorist sponsor too), second because there's nothing our enemies would love to see more than for us to be UNWILLING to win in Iraq or anywhere else Islamo-fascism is wreaking havoc, third, because it did just that in Indochina in the 1970's, fourth because it did just that in Lebanon in the 1980's, and fifth because it did just that in Somalia in the 1990's!

Answer 7

Anyone not agreeing with stay the course, is a accused of many things, most being not true or accurate. It's the way those supporting this conflict deal with every problem, by attacking the voice of the people and of reason. This administration is the only entity emboldening those in the middle-east, not the people opposing this action.

Answer 8

The only people dense enough to believe that nonsense, are people who were credulous enough to vote for him in the first place, and even many of them have learned a thing or two since then. The resolution will in no way embolden the enemy, and will probably result in more saved lives of U.S. soldiers than any policy Bush has ever thought of.

In fact, ironically, on top of the resolution being morally superior to anything the “Christian” Republicans have come up with, it is also the most CONSERVATIVE expression of foreign policy in recent memory. True conservatism, as it is traditionally defined, is isolationist with respect to the world. In other words we stay out of other nations business in so far as they don’t directly attack us. How odd it is that the Democrats are instituting a policy that the Republicans, who claim to be conservatives, should have espoused long ago.

The resolution will not incite our enemies to greater violence against our men, they will merely turn on each other, once our men are gone. Though that is unfortunate, our first and foremost responsibility is to our troops and keeping them alive. Iraqis need to solve their own problems. Nothing could say “We Support our Troops” more than bringing them home from this senseless war as quickly as possible.

Answer 9

You admit there is an enemy don't you? What other possible result could it have? Do you think the ENEMY is frightened by the lack of support for the war? If so, you are the fool.

Answer 10

I am.

Because the alternative is to believe that the sight of a country divided, political leaders attacking the President and demeaning the sacrifice of lives is somehow a threat to the enemy? THat the vision of Congress calling for immediate withdrawal does NOT say to the enemy that victory is at hand, our foes are retreating?

Sorry - I think that is exactly the message that is being sent, and I cannot believe that it does anything BUT encourage and hearten the people who are killing our soldiers.

It's difficult and it's dangerous - and the alternative is to retreat behind our borders and try to appease terrorists with words.

It didn't work with Hitler, it didn't work with the Soviet Union, and it will not work with these guys.

Answer 11

I honestly stopped paying attention to the redneck hillbilly two years ago.
WHO CARES!

He is a weasel and will say anything( and I mean ANYTHING) to try to brain-wash the minds of millions of Americans.

Like him there are people out there who totally believe that liberals are aiding the "terrist"(as he puts it). Silly ignorant fools. One day history will show that war was never the way and that the liberals in congress are now what Dr. King, and Abe Lincoln were in their times. People who went against the grain and didn't care if they were popular or not. Just right.
