Dont even try saying many have died already. Now you are putting their hands behind their backs and handcuffing.

Why are liberals so gutless and spineless, no conviction.
Oh they are tolerant until the second you disagree, then they
curse you, demean you, instead of giving the intelligent debate.

This resolution if passed is bs. Our troops already operate with
less freedom than our own police.

I say give them the freedom to do their job. WE ARE AT WAR.

Answer 1

Liberals, gutless and spineless?

What branch of the military are you currently serving in?

Answer 2

I do agree with you but would like to offer some clarification. No where in the U.S constitution is their a provision for the President to declare war that power is vested in congress and congress alone under Article 1 Section 8 Clause 11, 12, 13 "Congress shall have power to... declare war... to raise and support armies... to provide and maintain a Navy..." The president merely has the power to 'distribute' forces. Secondly of the triple digit conflicts the United States has been involved in only single digits of those were wars as is defined in the Constitution. No disrespect to any veterans out their no war/ conflict is any less important than any others, and i thank you for serving. In closing, if you are interested in finding out the mechanics of maintaining a war/ conflict, in regards to congress and the president, read up on the War Powers Resolution of 1973.

I do agree our troops should be allowed to maintain the broad involvement in Iraq. The liberal congress majority, or any other politician, does not have first hand accounts of what is happening over there. Let the ones who fight decide.

Answer 3

President Dwight David Eisenhower, a Republican, at the same time as he left workplace, warned us about this. He observed as it the "military commercial complicated." He became speaking of the wide military production organizations who make all the stealth bombers, etc. They administration Bush and Cheney and their cohorts. there is not any "Iraq challenge" except to make money off of Halliburton, the oil organizations, and those military organizations who're over there milking it for all they could. look up the Carlyle crew. locate out in simple terms what their investments are in. The trees and the Cheneys are deeply entrenched in this funding crew.

Answer 4

The liberal democrates want it both ways,they support the troops on one hand and want to cut funding on the other.They are more concerned with their own political careers and try to lead us in all directions at once with no concern for the nation at all.With such leadership both America and Iraq will pay a hell'va cost in damages and lives.God save America!

Answer 5

I will say it again. If the troops believe in their mission in Iraq.. all of them I have talked ot do... then if you do not support their mission you do not support them.

Remember when the Bush administration was admonished because troops didnt have needed things like bullet proof vests....
well not the the same people who were critical and pointing fingers about that are now wanting to cut funding so they those same troops dont have the equipment they need.

thats hypocrisy. If you dont believe in it fine. but that is not the way to go about doing something about it.

Answer 6

They are indeed the worst sort of Weak Sisters. The war is already being micromanaged by the brass, the administration, and the congress to the point that that's WHY it's so screwed up!

They don't have enough Senators to get it through so I think it's just more grandstanding. The upside is that they're not working on more stupid laws that we don't need.

Answer 7

I hate to break it to you, but no war has officially been declared. The Congress just authorized the President to allow the use of force. There was no vote to go to war.

The Congress may, now, revoke that authorization. It's as simple as that.

Answer 8

I wouldn't say that liberals are gutless and spineless. I would say that, as a whole, Democrats are self-serving and myopic. They want to control the government and they will tax us to bankruptcy and allow the Mid-east to erupt into chaos to do so.

Answer 9

You hit the nail on the head buddy! The liberals will do anything to undermine our troops and strengthen the resolve of our enemies. In fact, I wouldn't doubt that is their entire strategy. To make the enemies fight more fiercely and make our troops morale lower, so more of our troops die making the American public more desparate to elect the liberals to get our troops home.

I hope their plan backfires and the American people will see through all their BS and see them as the hypocritical lying pr*cks they are!

Answer 10

Do you even know why there is over site of the President in the House and Senate. It's in case you get a nut job President with a God complex who decides he is the decider and takes the country into a war he thinks will absolve him for being such a disappointment to his father as a young man.
