Bush invades, Dems whine there are not enough troops. Bush wakes up, wants to send more troops, Dems whine about that.Then Dems/liberals/leftists posit that we beat Germany faster. Yet do not look at the carpet bombing and fire bombing of civilain centers in WW2 as a main reason for the quick defeat of the Nazi. Are Dems saying they would have been okay with giving Iraqi cities the Dresden treatment when the invasion started? Are they just disgruntled whiners who haven't grown up yet?

Your assesment is correct....Liberals are the scourge of America, and are only out for their own power trip....They whine about everything...No one can do it right...except, of course, a Liberal

I really should leave trollers like you alone, but let me try to set you straight on a few things.
Bush invades, Dems whine there are not enough troops.
Dems weren't the only ones saying that Bush and Rumsfeld were not allocating enough troops to do the job. The planners in the military were telling Bush and Rumsfeld that more troops would be needed to carry out the mission. Remember, Gen Shaliskavili was fired for daring to question Rumsfeld and claim that more troops would be needed.
Bush wakes up, wants to send more troops, Dems whine about that.
Again, at the time Bush wanted to send more troops, the military commanders on the ground were saying that more troops were not needed. What happened, Bush fired the commanders and put in people who agreed with his point of view. Starting to see a pattern emerge.
The rest of your diatribe, comparing Iraq to WWII doesn't even make sense, even you must see that.

Well this is my recap, from firsthand experience:
(1) We arrive in theater. We slug our way over Iraq in dust, smoke, fire, and heat. We quickly realize (those of us connected to reality, at any rate) "Damn, we really don't have anywhere near enough of us to secure this place".
(2) We think wer're going home soon around May, when the C-in-C says "Mission Accomplished". Rumors and recrimination fly as the go-home date is pushed back month after month until we realize we're not going back home in 2003 at all ... and we're going to get shot at and blown up the whole time.
(3) Units rotate in and out as Iraq becomes another layer of Hell. Our second rotation arrives and we go back to find that most friendly Iraqis are either dead, in hiding, or have fled, and the place is chaos. We find that we are even more overstretched than ever before, our equipment is getting trashed, and we're working with an Iraqi security apparatus that is just not functioning to keep the peace (not that it wants to).
(4) We hear the bitching between Republicans and Democrats. By now, those of us in the military who have been around since OIF-1 generally don't care. Most of us care even less about what people who post bullshit questions on Yahoo! Answers to bash one or the other party think. Never mind people who still keep this bullshit fight between "Liberals" and "Neocons" going.
You people who spend all your time bashing other Americans for some political credo flapping in the wind while there are men and women dying (and you are a great distance away, doing nothing) are hopelessly pathetic. If you had any dignity, you would have suicided long ago.
That's about the sum of it. Next?

Firebombing did absolutely nothing to hasten Germany's defeat. It was against everything the allies were fighting for and there is not a historian of WWII out there today who believe's that it was successful in anything more than murdering civilians. If the resources that the RAF and USAF has spent on bombing civilians had been turned to purely military targets then I can assure you the war would have ended much sooner.
I don't actually care about the incessant arguments between you Americans about the Republicans and Democrats but please at least get your facts right.
Nothing in politics is black and white and no one party has all (or dare I say any) of the answers.

They are whiners. I think your wrong about the WW2 bombings. They were NEVER used to bomb civilian centers to get the war over. Only the Nazis did that. The allies attacked Military Targets like factories, troops etc. The bombs were not very accurate so the hit everything around them.

this is for the baby libs
You are the microcosm of today's liberal Democrat. A, you don't recognize defeat when you want it. You can't deny they want defeat. They want surrender. They own it. That's exactly what this is about. It's so bad that the Democrats cannot afford victory to take place. But beyond that, you know what's really shameful to me and what is truly, truly disappointing is that you, an American, do not think victory is possible in this for the United States of America. If you don't think victory is possible, there's one opposite to victory, and that's defeat.
You think we can only lose. You want us to lose. You're telling yourself, you got your brain all tied in knots telling yourself, "No, no, no. This is not about defeat, not about surrender. We can't win. This is about securing Bush's legacy," and so forth. You think anything other than victory is going to secure any kind of a decent legacy for George W. Bush, given who writes legacies these days and who writes the history? You and people like you are truly frightening and sad and disappointing, and I feel sorry for you. When I actually stop to think that there are Americans like you, I get depressed, because you do not represent the traditions and the ideals and the institutions that have defined this country's greatness.
If you keep propagating (and you won't because of abortion) and you keep making more and more of you people who think the way you do, our country and the way it's always been and its future is threatened. If you people get your hands in total control of this country -- and you have yourselves convinced that we don't face an enemy, that we're at war with the enemy, that the enemy is only the enemy because we've made them mad -- we are truly in deep doo-doo. I go through this mixture of emotions of feeling sorry for people like you because you sound otherwise intelligent. You can speak and you can do so grammatically correctly, so it seems to me you ought to be able to figure things out, but you're so warped out there that it's frightening and saddens me. It's just very sad, at the same time.

I started to formulate an answer but soon realized that to address every inaccuracy and distortion in your diatribe would take me 3 or 4 weeks.

the iraq war was started for reasons that are unclear to this day - what is clear is that america was lied to in order to foster an environment of fear and that the nation was deceived into this war.
