Would you rather hear Mission Accomplished or Mission Failed?

Question

Be honest now liberals.

Answer 1

I would rather see Mission Accomplished!!
Anyway, that message was all about the Ship that President Bush was on, not about the overall mission of the troops in Iraq or
Afghanistan!!! The LiberalNews Media blew
it all out of proportion!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

All of this Liberal / Conservative stuff is utter nonsense. We only have one political party in this country : the Business party. It has two factions. What we do not have is a party which represents the opinion of the overwhelming majority of the people. The real split is between the people and the government. Divide and conquer. Both sides of an argument do not equal ALL sides of an argument. Keep us distracted from the realities by supplying their two sides of the argument, and all we are arguing is their two sides. We agree or disagree on the issues that they have framed for us to argue about. Their two sides ignore what a truly free press would have on its front pages, namely, that the vast majority of the people in this nation are starkly opposed to the policies of their government on a very wide list of issues, which are never discussed by the (corporate) media. Is that a surprise to anyone? This Administrations is corrupt, certainly. And this corruption goes back even before this administration. This administration is, I believe more corrupt than most, but well within the norm. The beauty of our system of government is that it was designed to be 'run by devils" as Thos. Jefferson said. It was designed to be transparent, so that the people, who are not supposed to be the subjects of a King or an aristocracy any longer, but instead make their own decisions, are the government. That's what "We the People..." is all about. It means that these decisions are to be public, and open for inspection. The question is an oblique attack against the vast majority of Americans who favored the UN inspections, disagreed with the sanctions, want the US to follow the rule of international and domestic law, and favor diplomacy over war. Let's put aside for the moment the question of the disaster in Iraq, and the fact that aggressive war is a crime. Forget that it has turned the world's goodwill into distrust and loathing, forget that it has broken laws it had sworn to uphold, has sent our troops, our citizen soldiers, into harm's way for the benefit of control of that "strategic resource" under whatever false pretense worked at the time, (and we all know it is for the oil...why are we so afraid to say so? Are you waiting for Rush to say it?) Forget all of that. This administration has proven to be a real danger to the security of the people of this country. The Fourth Amendment has been nullified. We are no longer secure in our effects, as the Bill of Rights used to say. The rights listed in our First Amendment have been curtailed, the right of habeas corpus has been usurped away from the Constitution to the Executive, so we are no longer secure that we will have a trial, that we will not be tortured or forced to confess under duress. In a country that had a free press, this would be headline news. These are the issues we would be talking about. Instead, they whip us up arguing THEIR arguments, narrowing the arena of thinkable thought.

Answer 3

Accomplished

Answer 4

I am always honest, and being a liberal has not thing to do with it.
I would rather hear we are bring the troops home and never mind who or what accomplished Bush's war, how I feel as a mother has not thing to do with war, it has to do with loveing a child, no matter how old they are, all you mother's out there tell this person how you feel.

Answer 5

If the people implementing this war actually used a plan or clear cut vision for what needed to happen, I think all of us libs would have been fine with it.

4 years, 3200+ soldiers lost, billions wasted, misplaced, and given to Haliburton, and what do we have to show for it?

Iraq is in a civil war and isn't any better off after all that's been wasted.

Great Saddam is gone. What did that accomplish exactly? People are still being killed for their religious affiliation(s), it's just other citizens and not Hussein. Big deal.

Answer 6

Mission Accomplished, claim victory and pull the troops out now mate!

Answer 7

You only want liberal's opinions? You don't want to hear from the moderates and the conservatives who don't support Bush's War? Or do you think that close to 70% of our country who opposes Bush's war policies are all liberals? If so, that must a scary thought for you. John Warner's a liberal now? How about the rest of them who are speaking out?

"A dozen Republicans arrived in the House chamber on Wednesday to set aside their party allegiances and lend their names to a resolution intended to rebuke President Bush for his Iraq policy."

36% of Republicans think that a timetable should be set for leaving Iraq. Are they liberals too?

http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm

Everyone against this war wants the United States to succeed. Acknowledging the immense failures of Bush's war policy is not seeking failure, it's recognizing that in order to succeed we must change our strategy and our position in Iraq to be successful. Your idea of success must differ greatly from any dictionary's meaning of the word. We have already heard the words "Mission Accomplished." In fact, we heard it and we all cheered. Too bad it was a bunch of b.s., and here we are four years later policing a civil war. Good job!

Answer 8

Any talk of withdrawal, redeployment or a change in course is characterized as "cutting and running." This word-play is so disingenuous that it hardly merits a rebuttal, but the best response to the notion that a war hero like John Kerry or John Murtha wants to "cut and run" is Murtha's response to Cheney: "I like guys who've never been there that criticize us who've been there. I like that. I like guys who got five deferments and never been there and send people to war, and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done."

A phased withdrawal is just that, a phased withdrawal. And a timetable is just that, a timetable. Using politically-charged buzzwords won't change the fact that the present course of action is untenable. It is the height of folly to continue on a tragic and deadly path just to save face.

For those who think continuing with the current policy in Iraq is a mark of courage and changing direction the mark of cowardice, they should bear in mind that courage tempered by wisdom is noble, courage in defiance of wisdom is foolhardy.

Answer 9

I would rather see "I am not a liar Mission is accomplished", ops! it was just a dream.

Answer 10

I want to hear Bush say: We succesfully invaded Iraq and overthrew the Hussein regime, unfortunately, we had no cohesive plan to create stability after the overthrow, and, also, invading Iraq had no strategic importance to the security of the United States. God Bless you and good night moon.
