I notice they are burning effigies of Bush and the soldiers. Do you think congress ought to summon our fighting men and women to congressional hearings and cut off all funding except for earmarked funding for transportation costs home for all the troops to answer a summons to congressional hearings, could that work in getting our boys and gals home and out of Bushes insanity?

Under our Constitution, congress can not run a war. It is left to the president, according to the Constitution at least.
When libs say they support the troops but not the war, they are lying.
If they support the troops, why were they burning troops in effigy in Portland OR last weekend?
Believe it or not, Pelosi is not in charge of the troops or the country

Bush, despite all his pathetic attempts to deny it, has created a new Viet Nam, he sent our people in without the slightest clue how to get them out again. He left them there after the only defined objective, the overthrow of Saddam, was achieved, and is now just escalating because he knows that he will be out of office long before any meaningful troop pull out can be implemented, and his successors will be blamed by the Republicans for the consequences of his incompetence. Just as in Nam the protests will increase, support for the war will decline, and our troops will come home when it becomes political suicide to do anything else.

nicely, a in demand military makes use of a /lot/ of petroleum products, particularly in an invasion, so i'm specific it grew to become right into a substantial venture. Any revenue reaped via oil businesses from contracts in Iraq would be miniscule whilst in comparison with the expenditures of the conflict. the genuine place oil performs is as a strategic source. usa of america has no selection yet to maintain a stable military presence in the midsection east, to gaurantee this is grant of oil. because of the fact, devoid of that grant, this is military would desire to could be often undercut. purely before the 2nd Iraq conflict, that presence lined Saudi Arabia. this is been moved to Iraq.

Comming from a soldier...
YOU ARE SOOOOOO IGNORANT YOU TARD.
OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE TOO SELFISH TO WALK THE LINE WHY DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COUNTRY???
Until you are willing to serve, keep your mouth shut and sip on your starbucks and let the professionals handle it!
The truth is, we need to be there and cutting of funding will just cause problems that your children will have to face.
You selfish ignorant hippie people ought to just frickin go on a hunger strike and starve yourselves to death so you cannot breed and infect the rest of the world.

I think it will probably increase. I think it is a shame that american people only believe what the news media tells them, and protests the war and our own sons and daughters in Iraq fighting to keep us free and safe. If we cease to subdue the terrorist in the middle east, they WILL come here to cause another incedent like 9-11-2001.

They must increase, if the war drags on longer. It's shame that the protesters feel they have to burn effigies of the soldiers, I am sure they would like to come home just as much as their families would like them home.
the poor American people, they have been duped by this administration and now there is NOWHERE to go. Bring 'em home, bring 'em home now

Sedition is never a good reason to do something.
Protests, dissent, disagreement, legislation, yes, that can even be patriotic.
But burning our own President in effigy? That's sedition, and gains no one's respect. They undermine our country, and so do you.
They did the same thing to other Presidents, on both sides of the political aisle. It was wrong then, it's wrong now.

War was necessary...Hussein was fomenting violence with $20,000 payments to "Palestinians" giving up slow, unwanted children as suicide/homicide bombers besides attrocities to Kurds and his own people. Maybe Sean Penn liked to hear people slowly shredded in a plastic cutter?

Hhhmm, I can see the demonstrations against Bush, but I can't visualize "normal" Americans protesting against our troops.
