Why do LIBERALS continue to believe Britain pulling 1500 troops is proof of failure?

Question

This is so basic. Thre are 7100 total incountry. 1500 are going home because there job is done, the Iraqis can do what there doing. Does that make sense.

When are soldiers start to leave will that too be a failure as you say?

FIRST YOU WANT THE TROOPS HOME, AND THEN WHEN THEY START COMING HOME YOU BASH THEM FOR BEING FAILURES!!! Do you see how ridiculous that view is? What am I saying, of course you don't.

Answer 1

SOMEBODY WAS TAKING NOTES DURING LIMBAUGHS SHOW TODAY......

Answer 2

If you are going to ask and answer your own questions, you don't need us....

If it helps, not all liberals have cast their opinions into the suggestion pool. Failure is not the position of the United States, not now or ever.

I won't make the mistake of speaking for total strangers, so I will submit my OWN opinion, as a liberal. I never wanted to send troops there in the first place. After they were there and destroyed Baghdad, it was bad enough. But that wasn't enough, we stayed and killed more and let terrorists kill us. If you count the casualties, they lost more than we did. If we pulled out now, we would be champions for three reasons.
1. we exposed Saddham Hussein, he was tried, then hung
2. we gave the people of Iraq their country back, so we can come home.
3. the money budgeted for a war that ended months ago could go back into the social programs in OUR OWN country. You know, like medical care for the poor, Food and Housing for the homeless, and that little program called EDUCATION. I mean, if we are going to accept every person that walks into our country and have to feed, house, and educate them, we need the money to do all this.

Answer 3

For the liberal mindset, every time a helicopter is shot down or a bomb goes off in Iraq - it is a sign of failure.
When we increase troop strength, it is a sign of failure.
When the UK decreases their troop strength, it is a sign of failure.

Face it, if Iraq stabilized next month and became our 51st state - somehow, it would be a sign of failure.

Do not waste your time looking for the logic - just think - if you consider that the liberals don't give a damn about anything else but undermining the present administration and regaining the White House in 2008, it all makes perfect sense.

Answer 4

Bush had 4 years to "win" Iraq and has failed the troops and the allies, so no, I don't think Britain pulling out some troops is proof of failure, we had that proof long ago. I won't bash the troops when they are home I will celebrate their safe return. You must stop making ASSumptions of how Liberals think.

Answer 5

there grew to become no attack on Pakistan so do now no longer prepare the executed loss of understanding. President Obama is doing what he promised ... he's doing what Bush could have achieved on the instant after 9/11 if he grew to become rather severe approximately going after Bin Ladin and removing Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. The Afghanistan/Pakistani border is the situation Bin Ladin maintains to be holed out with the Taliban education a clean lot of youthful extremist muslims with hate against the west interior the madrassi faculties throughout this area. If Bush and his incompetent cronies had concentrated on doing this interest ideal as a replace of turning out to be lots extra advantageous hate from the mess they made in Iraq the full worldwide must be a safer place!

Answer 6

Chester..

You are right on this one man..

I'm more a liberal than a conservative and I totaly agree with you..

There is only way to WIN in Iraq and that is to slowly pull troops out while maintaining relative order with the help of the Iraqi troops..

The Iraqi's need to take resposiblity from here on out..

Answer 7

If you count real numbers, one would see that the UK entered Iraq with 40,000 troops and are now down to about 8000. They pulled out years ago. The only one to stay the course of the Titanic is Bush and Vice Prince Cheney.

Answer 8

Now for the facts. Tony Blair is having big problems with his level of support at home. His party faces a big election next month. I would say he sees the handwriting on the wall and is doing something to alleviate his problems at home, nothing more. If you believe the spin that their job is done, you probably also believe we are winning in Iraq.

Answer 9

I don't think we failed in the sense of removing saddam

but we were destinied to fail when we tried to give them democracy and to as we try to keep all of the fighting parties united. I'm not surprised that it hasn't worked.
some may want to have a democracy later, but many don't and many will only elect totaliterian groups. I think iraq needs to split up into seperate countires. the Kurds want a Kurdistan

Answer 10

It really doesn't matter what happens in Iraq, the libs are still gonna say its a failure. They hate Bush so much, and want to see Dems in power no matter what.... it's sad that a percentage of Americans want to see us lose.

Answer 11

It's not failure, son. It's success. Sadaam's gone. Mission accomplished. Bring the troops home.

(or IS it the OIL???)
