About the soldiers out in Iraq...?

Question

Guess what the Democrats want to do. They want to put LAWYERS on the ground to ensure that our forces on the ground follow strict guidelines. This means that whatever a Gen. does he'll want to check with a lawyer to see if he would break some law before telling his men to move or not. What does this mean for our troops? Do we really want them to sit on their A%@ and do nothing? What say you people of the Yahoo Answers world?

not all democrats mind you. only the most extreme suggest this idea. there are good democrats just like there are some bad republicans. i did not mean to generalize. sorry.

nope. heard this from 790 AM.
sad to say i forgot who said it (trying to be honest here)
it was a proposal; wasn't actually passed.

Answer 1

I think the democrats r gay! They need to stfu!

Answer 2

I believe you're full of crap ! Show me a lawyer with a set of stones who's going to Iraq to make sure the generals are crossing their T's and dotting their I's ! The only one's who really care are the slimy democrats on capiltol hill who are so afraid they are losing ground with the American people, they will do almost any stupid thing to maintain some popularity, which they cannot. They cannot because the whiney pukes have already turned their backs on our beloved troops. For this, the capiltol hill scum will never find forgiveness. The one thing you don't do in this country is turn your back on our troops. And. the goddamn democrats did just that ! Their day of judgement will come, and it won't be pretty !

Answer 3

First off, I have to assume since you did not specify a particular person, that you are actually referring to every democrat? And still I wonder do you mean all democrat politicians or all democrat people? Because I keep up with the news daily. (I haven't this weekend because of a death in the family) So maybe this just came up but I have never heard of this? Don't you think you should have sourced this information before posting this? And I am also wondering what branch of the military you are in? Because if you aren't then aren't you "sitting on" your "A%@"?

Answer 4

Before I answer you I must check with my lawyer...

Hold on a minute while he checks the law on this question... (Has to be male as the female lawyers could not go into the combat zone per the new law... but we are trying to get this portion overturned... not fair and all.

Don't worry about those Al Qaida peoples in Iraq right now.


I mean what do you have against terrorists? They should have rights too... (sad face)

Bush Offers U.S. Attorneys New Positions in Iraq
Attempt to Calm Furor over Mass Sacking

In a bold attempt to end the controversy over the sacking of eight United States attorneys, President George W. Bush today offered the fired prosecutors what he called “exciting new positions” in Iraq.

With the President facing pressure from Congress over the firing of the attorneys and funding for the continuing war effort, Mr. Bush told reporters at the White House that sending the “surge” of eight U.S. attorneys to Baghdad was a “win-win” solution to both problems.

“Congress has been trying their darnedest to limit my ability to prosecute this war,” Mr. Bush said. “Well, I can think of no one more qualified to prosecute this war than those eight prosecutors.”

Mr. Bush said that dispatching a surge of lawyers to Baghdad will be send a strong message to insurgents and terrorists that they can no longer take the law into their own hands.

“I have strongly felt for some time that we need more suits on the ground,” Mr. Bush said.

If all goes as planned, the eight prosecutors will be parachuted into Baghdad as early as this Wednesday, Mr. Bush told reporters, and could be prosecuting insurgents by Thursday.

While some in the White House press corps questioned if sending eight prosecutors to Iraq would really be enough to turn the tide of the war effort there, Mr. Bush said he already had plans to send additional lawyers if necessary.

“If those eight aren’t enough, I’ll send Gonzales,” he said.

Answer 6

Democrats, and everybody else, needs to let the military run the war. Democrats, and everybody else, needs to go back to what they do best, gather food, and hunt for food!!! What they have been doing for millions of years. Anything else is beyond their limited intelligence as they have witnessed time and time again!!!

Answer 7

@ng3L --you use this question that half the population in the US is gay. With attitudes like yours - power to the gays.

I would like to see where you got this information with a URL so I can read it.

Actually yeah about the election -- it seems to quite the screw like in some third world country supported by the CIA. Because Florida has never been figured out I really think Bush lost.

Answer 8

Wait do the enemy combatants get to shoot at the lawyers. How about fragging. Lets get them lawyers on the grounds

Answer 9
