WWII lasted longer than 4 years. Why weren't people crying for it to be won immediately.

I wasn't comparing the two wars. Someone else below did and I had to add my comment.

Because they feel defeat will give them more power. They feel guilty for being such a strong country for so many years and they would like to see China take that role from us.

The supporters of the Bush war talk a lot about "victory" and "defeat" but they don't take the time to state in detail exactly what it would mean to have arrived at "victory" or "defeat". This deliberate vagueness is designed to stir up emotions, not critical thought.

Instead of talking about "victory, "defeat", "staying the course", etc., I think we shouild consider the gambler who has played the table at Las Vegas for a while. He has lost a lot, so he puts more bets on the table, assuring himself that surely he will start winning if he keeps going long enough.

In order to stay the course he has to keep raiding the ATM machine and his credit cards. By the end of the evening he has mortgaged his home and sold his car.

The next day he goes home on the Greyhound with nothing left. He has lost everything through his allowing himself to be governed by the blind faith that all you have to do to "win" is to keep going and stay the course.

Reality means that sometimes you should cut your losses and quit the game. That is not "defeat", it is rational behavior.

How bout a horrible foreign policy and a wretched domestic policy that is solely to blame on 25 years of anti-Middle Class Governance and the most damaging attack on our home soil?

Does that ring a bell???

Or maybe it's the continuance thereof, despite the recent election and poll results. Cohesiveness is what we ALL wanted from Congress. Cohesiveness is not when the President stands against us and compels his breatheren to comply by voting the party line on any new proposals which benefit ALL of us and none of the Big Corporate entities.

WWII utilized and mobilized a much higher percentage of American's. Only 1 in every 200 households has a relative involved with this occupation.

Don't compare WWII to this war. That's just nonsense, honestly. And while you are trying so hard to be honest, why don't you ask yourself what you mean by "defeat"? If you can call yourself an American, you should realize that you are already defeated if you bought into the lie that we are over there fighting for democracy. No one likes seeing our brave soldiers come home in body bags.

i'm lacking that appeasement stuff. Like even as and the position? And who's the enemy? reason I easily might want to inform you I listen extra propaganda about the U. S. on Fox than I do everywhere else. merely there do they present day the 'data' that help a weak and tottering u . s ., with out wish, and no potential outdoors of one celebration, the single which placed us there, to 'rescue' us from legally elected officeholders. Its like they opt for to carry a significant signal off the Statue of Liberty, that announces we are falling and we are able to not get up. Is that extremely what they call patriotism?

Roosevelt was a Democrat and the Republicans didn't want to harm are troops by anti war antics for power. George Bush is a Republican and the Dems cannot stand it and can't let a Republican win. If Bush were a Democrat instead of Republican and he did everything the same as he has there would be no fuss.

If peace in the middle east occurred thanks to Bush, they know they would not gain the presidency or congress for many years. They have more of an interest in gaining political power than whats good for America or peace in the middle east. Also many of their constituency wants American power in the world to be diminished and as a republic they abide by their constituency.

Honestly, your question is not an honest one, because your premise is incorrect. Liberals aren't eager for us to be defeated, but we are eager for an end to this immoral, illegal, mass murder that has been nothing but a financial bonanza (missing at least 8 billion in hundred dollar bills) for bush and his friends.

Latest news - did you catch it? - we are now funneling money to al queda groups who are opposing hezbollah. HELLLLLOOOOOOO. How can you still be tricked by this 'libs want defeat" nonsense? It's really sad, citizen.

It's really quite simple - the well financed liberal agenda cannot succeed with a republican in the White House - and if President Bush's policies in Iraq prove successful - the chance of getting a liberal moon bat in the White House are greatly diminished.
