Why Are The Democrats Bashing The War Now When They Were For It In The Beginning?

Question

Hillary Clinton and her counterparts. How two faced can you get. It all clear now that the Deomocrats dont care about our troops, Its all about politics for them. You cant run a war using politics. Get real Democrats and let our Generals do their job!

Dont you just love how the Democrats added all that crap to the bill? Again I say, get real Democrats! This is for our troops, not for your political gains!

By the way, where is their fearless, soldier bashing leader John Kerry?

Oh and since the media never reports how many enemy combatants have been killed, this is from a soldier who was over there------

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I would guess its around 10,000-20,000 or so. When I was in Iraq, my BTN recorded 250 enemy kills and we lost 6 soldiers

And Osama, oops, I mean Obama. Wolf in sheeps clothing!

Answer 1

You are correct, Sir!

The country is getting sick of the Democratic party and their constant whining.

But where is THIER solution ?

THEY HAVE NONE!!!!!

Answer 2

It's not like the current administration ever let the Generals do their job in the first place. General Shinseki got sacked for stating the obvious truth that it would take half a million troops to secure Iraq. We're leaning heavily on private military contractors precisely because we never had enough boots on the ground.

You can't run a war from the Green Zone using retarded political appointees either. Having the likes of Paul Bremer in charge was absolutely mindless. I can't even begin to think of all the crap our last SecDef put the military through without seething.

Maybe if the Republicans let the military run the War on Terror instead of having idiots like Feith, Bolton, Wolfowitz, Tenet, and such call the shots, we wouldn't be in this mess. Maybe then the Democrats wouldn't have the Congressional majority they have today as a counter-reaction to mismanagement of the war. Who do you think made that happen? The American public. Who's blaming them?

Oh and while we're on the subject, a DRASTIC increase in the end strength of the Marines Corps and Army would be nice since we ARE fighting a war after all, with NO conscription. We've been at it for 6 years and the White House has tried to fight war on the cheap ("Iraq will pay for itself"). As badly run as this war has been so far, I don't blame the American public for wanting a change - no matter how badly conceived.

Answer 3

Society in the US gravitates toward drama and can't get enough controversy. Radicalism is the means democrats are employing to gain fans. Just like on TV, which character are you going to pay more attention to, the loud opinionated one or the soft spoken old man? By using radical language and rhetoric like "Illegal War", "Global Warming", and "Stand up against..." they become exciting and believable and Americans are buying into every word of it. People fail to see through the lies and believe that liberalism, because of its pursuit of perfection and promises of equality and peace, is the answer. People do not take into account the freedoms that their false hopes will cost them and that liberal ideals will NEVER be actualized because they go agaist the grain of human nature.

The truth... As liberalism has advanced in our society, crimes have become more voilent and frequent, our enemies have grown in number, our personal freedoms are becomming more restricted, the constitution which has sustained us for over 200 years is more often being questioned and infringed upon, our children are learning less about the government and personal responsibilities and morals and values and more about sex education and violence... the list goes on.

Answer 4

I dont imagine there's a gentle way out. i imagine the perfect way might want to be to inform the Iraqis that we are leavivng on a particular date - say 6 months from in the present day. Then they be conscious of, they want to get it at the same time through then or they are going to be on their very own. this may inspire them to face up on their very own. imagine of united statesa. in the course of the progressive conflict... We were hugely outnumbered, and we had few guns. one way or the different, through motivation and backbone, we were waiting to wrestle off the British. Why? because we needed it undesirable sufficient. the problem that the Iraqi's are in now is very unlucky - yet civilizations upward push and fall - it extremely is human nature. it extremely is how that's been because the first light of time. giving them a time reduce will provide them time to verify. Do they want to be a civilation that rose, or fell?

Answer 5

I agree. I was never really much of a Hillary Clinton fan because I she always portrayed herself as a power-hungry deceiving woman. I understand what you say when you say the democrats don't care about our troops because they don't show it. Nothing they do concerning our troops shows that they care. Me, being asound-minded republican [lol] believe that the troops deserve to get everything they are entitled to including health-care and othe rthings like that. Hillary probably doesn't know the first thing about war because she's never had to do anythign like that. She's had a rahter a cushy life from the start.

Answer 6

It's called adapting to the situation.
The war was going well. So you support it. If it turns into a total flop, admit your mistakes and try to fix them instead of not even admitting that you were wrong. Plus, Bush had everyone believing that Saddam had WMDs, was with bin Laden and that he was a danger to national security.
For those of you who say the head of the CIA was wrong, read his new book. He says that he never said that Iraq was going to be a "Slam dunk," and that there were no serious discussions in White House about going to war that he knew of.

Answer 7

The weather vane has swung in the other direction. So those once for the war when there were votes to be had are now anti-War. Wait till it swings again and see what happens!

Answer 8

since you choose not to believe that the president lied to congress about Iraq, I'll take it to a different angle...

just for the record i was against the war in Iraq from the beginning, we should have kept our focus on Osama and not switched it to Hussein...Osama's organization attacked us, not Hussein's.

suppose they were for it from the beginning and Bush didn't lie, at least they are smart enough to be able to understand that this is a war we can't win...

being man enough to admit you were wrong is NOT A BAD THING!

instead of dragging this thing on like the Soviet Union did in the middle east (look what happened to them), we need to be smart and get out while we still can....

Answer 9

Bush and his cronies lied about the need to go to war in Iraq.If you looked at the polls lately the majority of Americans are against the war even some Generals are speaking up against dictator Bush.

Answer 10

Because the President has endorsed ineffective policy and mismanaged the military from day one. And by the way, its the Generals that are saying Iraq requires a political solution, not the liberals so grow up.

Answer 11

IIRC, the congress authorized the use of force to oust Saddam, get rid of WMD and bring democracy to Iraq. Not to begin an interminable occupation.

We are done. Mission accomplished.
