Which is more important to you liberals, achieving victory in Iraq, or pulling our troops out?
If we don't achieve victory, how will that make us safer?

They just want their way.....right or wrong, doesn't matter...They are just sniveling whiny crybabies...make a fuss over everything and change nothing for the better.
To them Surrender is Victory, in their teeny narrow minds.....as long as the beat the Republicans,,,its a victory.
Self centered vicious, weasels that they are

For me it's not easy either way. First I would ask you, what do you mean by victory? If you mean toppling Saddam's regime, then we are victorious. I also argue how you measure safety? Are you safe? Are we all going to live to see tomorrow or the next year? Is a terrorist a bigger threat than a drunk driver or cancer? Maybe so. But conversely, would pulling out of Iraq make us less safe? The 9/11 hijackers were mostly Saudi born, and plotted in Europe. Not to mention the long list of foiled plots against our nation since 9/11, with no connection to Iraq (most recently a sailor was indicted on giving info on warships to Iran). It has actually been argued that the invasion reinvigorated al-queda by giving them an influx of Iraqi suicide bombers. I could go on, but I do not think there are any simple answers. I'm not sure fi we should have went in in the first place, but I do know that Iraqis won't be any safer if we pull out.

Saving lives... on both sides is important to me.
Pulling out? Well, I don't see that staying will ever do any good. We will not win that war. it is now a civil war and we are doing nothing but dying there.
We all know we had no business going there in the first place. Pull those troops, send them to Afghanistan where they should have been in the first place.. end that skirmish and come home... that is that.
Iraq will be fighting itself for another hundred years. If Iran wants to get into that quagmire , let them. We need to safe and secure in our own homeland.. not trying to free the world.
These are supposedly intelligent human beings.. they are going to have to find their way themselves... we cannot be the babysitter of the world. Especially now with a president who does not seem to know what he is doing.
I would say it is long past time for some table talk, even if it does not go well.. it has to be tried and tried again.
Killing and more killing and destruction is simply not the answer.

Pulling out the troops.
Bush already flown a plane in the US Navy warship and said we have won all the major battles and won the war. Also Saddam is dead and Iraq has a democratic government now.
So what else victory are you talking about. I don't think there is any left to win.
Idk if you got it through your little head, but because Iraq, now terrorists even hate us more. We are not safe anymore, we are now 10X more in danger of an attack.

How is being there making us safer? Seriously, how are we that much safer now. All we are doing with our presence there is angering them further. Don't be fooled into a false sense of security. Regardless if we stay or not, we still may not be safe, but there is no poing in continuing with the current bloodshed. Besides, Iraq was never a threat to us in the first place. I guess war supporters forget that Saudi Arabia was involved in the 9/11 attacks and that Bush has close ties with their royal family. If that doesn't sound iffy, I don't know what does.

victory or otherwise won't make us safer. Iraq has nothing to do with our national security.
The war is draining our economy, and worsening life in the US. The longer this war drags on, the worse the consequences are for the average US citizen.
Our country has to come first.

Finding the solution to Iraq. Which according to General Patreaus is not a military one. I am guessing a new administration would be a good start for achieving victory in Iraq.

60+% of Americans are opposed to the war. If they are all liberals, than you guys are in for a landslide defeat in '08. quit making everything liberal and conservative, as there are politicians and people on both sides that are opposed to the war. To answer your question, I want victory, but am not willing to be there for another five years to achieve it. At some point, the Iraqis have to stand on their own.

Pulling the troops out, there is nothing to win in Iraq, explain what we are trying to win? The US could stay there for the next 1000 years and there will still be violence there.

For the guy someplace above me (neocons can no longer think of): Police and hearth amenities are paid via the state, which gets a huge bite of its' investment from the federal government. maximum states have become 20-30% much less investment, and an expected added 20-30% cut back come next monetary year (July). So, confident, police and hearth amenities are being cut back as a results of federal investment. I artwork in regulation enforcement, and we are already shedding human beings, so are the community hearth departments.

How will being victorious in Iraq make us safer? We are hated all over the world now.
