I would like to ad a disclaimer before I post this question that has been troubling me for the past four years.
Do you think the Union would have won The Civil War if it had refused to supply the Army and Navy with enough soldiers and Sailors and equipment to carry the fight deceively to the South by controling the borders and transportation of commerce to and from the Southern States?
So, do you think Bush studied anything like history, at all, before he planned to dramatically change the face of the Middle East?

Why is it that all the Armchair Presidents and Generals know so much? Seems like every Yahoo on Yahoo thinks they are smarter and more informed than the President
Guess what??? You don't know Jack...at least he was a "Partial" Member..more than you were I would guess

What is your disclaimer?
It is not bush who is against the military. It's the liberal Demos who you are most likely a member of.
I wish people who know nothing about what their mouths are flapping, would stop and use history books to learn about the things they are supposedly against. Would make life more comfortable, don't you think?
You have two eyes, two ears and only one mouth. Use them in accordance.
President Bush gets blamed for everything from the fall of Adam to the coming Armageddon.
Another thing. the Union would not have won the Civil War if the South had had two more corn cobs. Smile.

Two answers for you--you get to pick which one is the "serious" one:
--Probably...it would seem the military *did* displease him by discovering that his briefs only held a partial member. ^_^
--Dubya most likely didn't study *jack squat*, because a) he went into Iraq *entirely* to pursue both a family vendetta and his own greed, and b) because the last time he studied anything, it was "My Pet Goat" on 9-11.
Now Cheney on the other hand...yeah, he studied his history. He knew, if we *won* this thing clearly and decisively that his ex-company Halliburton, and therefore Cheney himself, wouldn't be *free* to rape and pillage both the American Military and the Iraqi oil fields *indefinitely*, so he just got the ball rolling...and then had Rumsfeld take the heat for not *letting* the troops get the job done.
Same Modus Operandi as in Afghanistan, we *cornered* Bin Laden, but who gave the orders from *on high* to let the local warlords *allow* him to escape? Oh yeah, that White House you "conservatives" elected.
This is what happens when you let meth-head zombies *vote*. Really. Pity the soldiers....they only follow orders and do what they are told, they can't entirely help it if politicians keep getting them maimed and killed, can they?
It's just an atrocity anymore. It's gone beyond appalling and contemptible both. It's just *atrocious*.

And you are basing your assessment on the logistical and personnel requirements of the US Military on your vast study of history, military logistical needs, and your immense experience within the military community?
Do you have ANY idea what our Order of Battle is? (Or even what that phrase MEANS?) Do you have ANY idea what those forces need? Do you have ANY idea what numbers from each branch are present? Do you know our existing commitments...*sighs* Why bother? You evidently don't know the first thing about anything to do with any military, anywhere.
Or are you simply trolling and looking to vent and see what sorts of replies you can get?
Hmmm....Let's see...Ignorant, uneducated question - Check. Question designed to irritate people much more knowledgeable than yourself - Check. Silly extremist political position - Check. Foolish mis-statement of fact designed to dishonor a vet - Check.
Hello, Troll!

Do you think we would have won WWI or WWII if the news media reported the "murder" of our enemy? Do you think we should make an apology for taking on the role of world police? Maybe we'd be better off if the Germans or the Russians were in charge of policing rogue regimes. How about the world let terrorists flourish for the last 30 years and blame this guy for the whole thing?

Want to talk history do you .... okay.
10 years in USMC here...I've fought for my country, and I'll bet you haven't.
It was not President Bush that "ruined" the millitary, that my friend was coutresy of Slick Willey.
During the Clinton administration bases were shut down like mom and pop shops when a walmart opens. Slick Willey was so anti-millitary he even desloved the special ops training devision in the USMC reserve.
The fact is our millitary is the greatest fighting force in the world. If the liberal nut jobs would get off their bra-burning agendas we would have the funding to wage war.

As a matter of fact, its CONGRESS thats not letting the efficient number of troops/supplies into the Middle East. Bush is trying to send more, Congress is trying to take some back...You cant argue w/ that.

Why are you blaming President Bush for this? He is not the person who has decided that defeat in Iraq will benefit his political party.
