Do you think Democrats should spend time discussing pull out rather than winning?

Question

Democrats wasted so much time setting up timetable for the military to come home rather than spending their time wisely by helping the President win the war.

Answer 1

The demon craps want to sabotage not only the president but the troops also!! they are a loathsome bunch of hypocrites

Answer 2

The war can't be won. It's time for cooler heads to prevail. We need some power house diplomats that know how to talk to people. Our troops have answered the call to duty and served honorably now it's time to bring them home. The only way to win the war is to kill everybody in the middle east. Why? Because we don't know what the terrorist look like or where they live. Why? We have no secret intelligence in the middle east. Where are they? They're in Washington leaking info, investigating other agencies and Congressmen and trying to fire all of the State's Attorney lawyers. I hope they put the purchase of some shopping carts for Bush and Gonzales to carry their gonads around in the new bill. That's probably the pork he keeps talking about!

Answer 3

Since they generally oppose war it makes sense for them to talk about getting out. This worked in Vietnam. So their emphasis seems to make total sense for their party. But once the terrorists chase us back to the US and attack here, it might not seem like the best strategy. A different situation from Vietnam. I think they simply don't understand how much traditional Muslims hate American culture and see it as a threat to their family oriented way of life. The Democrats are the party of the media the terrorists hate. Muslims are furious with the US for promoting a self-indulgent lifestyle about the world and want to punish the US for this--as in kill us. Iraq is their holy ground so that is priority #1. So that will be the big downside for the Democrats if they persuade Americans to retreat. We won't be only seen as the cowards who ran away in Somalia and Vietnam, this time there will be blood on our streets.

Answer 4

the democrats are what's causing most of the problems. whether it's war , taxes , jobs or the economy. all i have to do is look at where i live and what problems these idiots are causing others to have to deal w/. Yes they should be helping but, democrat don't do that ! if you're 5 foot 5 inches and you're stuck in a 10 foot deep hole, these morons wouldn't bring you a ladder. no !! that would make too much sense, instead they'd just show up w/ a shovel !! they should call them DUMMYcrats !!!!

Answer 5

My concern is that the demz are not cohesive enough yet. They still are pulling in different directions. They aren't acting as one body and they all have their own ideas.
Bush refuses suggestions on the war in Iraq, so let him have his way for now. He will be gone soon and will go down in history as one of the worst presidents.
We are not fighting Iraq, but the so called terrorists in Iraq. They are coming from Syria, Iran, etc. However, and this shows the intelligence of terrorists, if they just left Iraq, the fighting would be over. Why do they come into a country when they know that we have over 150,000 troops there? Go somewhere else!
But, back to your question, no, they should not. If they don't step on Bush, the war will continue, billions of dollars will be wasted, hundreds more Americans will die, and Iraq will still depend on us the fight their battles for them.
Its time to get out, and even the republicans are seeing this.

Answer 6

Silly people. We still have troops in Korea 55 years later. Still have troops in Germany, troops in Japan, etc. etc. We will have troops in Iraq for decades. Thats the facts of war. Get used to it.

Answer 7

I think a pull out date is ignorant. All the terrorists will do is wait for the day after that to set up shop. I'm not a politician and it seems like a no brainer to me.
The only discussion of whether to pull out or not should be between a woman and her man.

Answer 8

You're absolutely correct. I was sitting at a football game watching my grandson play. The girl sitting in front of me was telling her friend that she didn't really like football, she thought that it was crude, rough and not very nice but her brother was playing and she felt it was her duty to support him and his team. About halfway through, the game wasn't going very well for "our" side yet the worse things got the harder this girl cheered for her brother. Her cheering got other people roused, myself included, and before long the whole crowd was on its feet cheering our team on. They won a hard fought victory but I wonder what would have the outcome been if that girl would have been a democrat?

Answer 9

How do you define "winning" the war? What goals or milestones are set? What measurable objectives are defined? What is the finish line? How do we know when we've won?

Congress is doing its job. Per the Constitution, Congress has some control over federal funding, and they can attach any strings they want to the funds. The vast majority of Americans want the troops to come home.

So, Congress is doing what they are supposed to be doing, as a co-equal branch of govt. Bush just doesn't like to have to share his power, so he's throwing a temper tantrum.

Answer 10

I think four years is enough help for Bush to win the war. He had the chance. He had the country won quickly, but squandered it.

In fact, the longer we stay, the worse it's going to get. You can count on that.

Answer 11

dems need to vote to cut off funding. put their cards on the table and stop playing games. they will loose and become irrelevant as they should be.
