Why do Bush supporters want us to lose in Iraq?

Question

I try telling them that our mission was accomplished (removing Saddam) and a democratically elected government put in his place. Why cant they just admit our plan was a complete success and now it is time to go? What are they waiting for? Baghdad is now safer than any american city (McCain)...

I love the criticism from the right for framing my questions the way they taught me to...

Answer 1

It's not that they want to lose. It's that they don't want to admit that their idol is a colossal failure.

Answer 2

If you truly believe Iraq has been a complete success, you have lost your mind. Every day there are news reports on every channel and in every newspaper stating quite the opposite. And Baghdad is absolutely NOT safer than any American city...I live in Tampa, and I've never walked down the street fearing an IED or car bomb. I also don't feel it necessary to search for body armor and carry an assault rifle like the Americans and Iraqis do in Baghdad.

Removing Saddam was a good thing, but it definitely didn't win the war. And the democratically elected government isn't yet able to function on it's own without US support.

I am in no way a Bush supporter, but I do not want us to lose in Iraq. It's not the servicemen's fault they have a terrible Commander-In-Chief.

Answer 3

The greater salient question is why Bush's combatants can not face the actuality. Iraq had WMD and became into springing up greater. a number of those have been got here across, even nevertheless maximum of them (numerous thousand lots of munitions and supplies) have been shipped off to Syria in June 2002 whilst Bush started employing some extreme warmth. The conflict by no skill had something to do with oil; if we'd have enjoyed to start a conflict over oil, it could have bee lots easier to invade Venezuela.

Answer 4

I have no idea where the hell you got that from. The worst cities in the US are better than Baghdad, Bombs going off every day, people getting killed. Our removal of Saddam was a success, but we cannot leave until the Iraqi Gov't can take over completely. If we stay in until they are able to take over, kids in Iraqi schools 100 years from now would be thanking us for what we did, and wanting to strangle people who wanted us to pull out like we were France or something.

Answer 5

I am a Bush supporter and I do not feel that way. We need to finish jobs we start and not have another Vietnam.If we leave now the new Government will fall.It is too new and need help. I pray things will work out for the best of both but I don't have the answer.I wish i did.

Answer 6

I agree...Mission Accomplished four years ago tomorrow, and it is worse now than it was four years ago. Wars of aggression never work. You have to go in and use limited forces, as you are the aggressor and don't want to be perceived as the bad guy, but it results in a long, drawn out war.

Answer 7

If our mission was accomplished by removing Saddam why are we still a fighting an active mission many years later??

If Bush truly supported the troop, he'd bring them home.

Answer 8

Actually the Iraq government isn't strong enough on their own. The Iraq government doesn't want us to leave. They have even asked us not to set a time line.

Also, Al-Qaeda is running rampant in Iraq. Aren't they still our enemy?

Answer 9

Do we really need infantile political garbage like this while American men and women are fighting and dying over there? You are lower than the slime I scrapped off my boots after fishing in the swamps.
