I just have one thing to ask: WWGWBD?

Question

What if Congress never gave Bush a bill funding the war without restrictions on time? What would he do? How much is our Commander-in-Chief willing to sacrifice to ensure the safety and care of our troops overseas?

JS: Really? Then why are they drafting a bill without a timeline?

Scott: That wasn't my question. Why are you afraid to answer what I asked?

Answer 1

I think Bush would keep sending our troops over until our country is completely broke or until the only people left in the US are women and children which ever comes first. It would be a throw back to the middle ages when a womans only purpose was to pop out male babies so they can grow up and be future fighters.

Answer 2

If you would ever listen which apparently is hard for lefties to do, they are a lot more interested in pontificating... you would see his genuine concern for our troops and their sacrfice. I am sure he would have done whatever it took to get them this funding and their money. And you know what? It still wouldn't have been good enough would it?

The democrats want to make this a game. It's not. Give them the money they need to do their jobs. I bet if the shoe was on the other foot and Congress needed their operating budget and it was loaded down with unnecessary pork and it took MONTHS to pass they would be up and arms and screaming bloody murder.

When republicans were in control of congress it took days not months to pass the bill. Because it has to be done. Debate the war and the reasons to be other there or not AFTER you give the soliders there fighting the money they need. Afterall the troops there fighting are protecting the men and women of our government, you, me, and every other American and our rights to debate and speak and live our lives more securely.

I know you won't read or watch these links but they make sense and ring true.

Answer 3

I just wish people could see past the end of their noses...Why in the world would Bush cave in to Congress when they are clearly not trying to end the war or anything else...This democrat congress pushed for war, they thought up the plan, voted it in, and gave their approval of it...they were not JOKING! then they tricked the weakest minds into believing THEY were Bush VICTIMS (even though he was not in power until YEARS after they began pushing for this war! Those Tricked Americans then put those deceitful Dems in power...since then congress has made absolutely no real attempt to change ANYTHING!...instead they make a grand gesture of caving in (just showed their true selves) so they can continue to promote the war without having to do it publicly...they ONLY changed their position on the war in a bid for the white house...it was so obvious that it was comical...the Con's tried to warn the libs and dems but were called sheeple and bushbots (among other things) .
WHO'S The SHEEPLE NOW??

What is Bush willing to sacrifice? Isn't it obvious..he has sacrificed EVERYTHING...he has allowed himself to become a huge target for Dem's and Libs...he doesn't spend his time slinging mud on them...he has given 8 years of his LIFE to this cause to keep his countrymen safe...why would he compromise the safety of our troops and nation by approving a timeline? That would be in direct conflict to the troops and citizens best interests...

Answer 4

It won't happen for several reasons:
1. Democrats in Congress want to be elected. It would never happen if they defunded a war.
2. Vietnam--after Congress defunded Vietnam, 2-3 million Cambodians died. Many of our Congress people are well aware of this fact, even if it never made it into our school rooms.
3. I can tell you that America will not make the sacrifices that last bill demanded. The billions in Pork. The setting of a time line. These are things that ordinary taxpaying Americans won't swallow. And Congress knew it. It was your nod, Liberals. Be happy. It's all you get. It's more than you would have gotten from me.

Answer 5

he has arrogantly committed himself to "no restrictions". If Congress kept sending him bills with timetables he'd keep vetoing them and blame congress for not supporting the troops. He seems to have as much concern for our soldiers as he would for pawns on a chessboard; disposable defenders. He only seems concerned when there aren't enough of them to feed the Iraqi meat grinder.

Answer 6

That's what you lefties have hoped for all along... isn't it? You want to see us lose this and for our Military to be as weak as possible so that you can say "I told you so" !!! Hopefully our President would sacrifice all to ensure the saftey or our troops is never compromised. That's his job to keep them safe and up to date on all the needed equiptment necessary for a war...

Answer 7

Clearly, if the dems don't give the war funding, they will demonstrate that our troops are who is expendible.\
Whose afraid to answer your question, just because you don't like the answer doesn't concern me. It's a moot point, therefore a pointless question. You and I both know congress will grandstand and make a spectable, and then pass a "no strings" war funding act.

Answer 8

I would say that he would sacrifice down to last American standing before it came to his base of haves or have mores. Their children and them would remain safe. I guarantee if his daughters were in the military, this war would have been over long ago.

Answer 9

I think that GWB has clearly demonstrated his utter lack of concern for the troops. He cares more about his dog. Enough said.

Answer 10

No, how much is CONGRESS willing to sacrifice? They were the ones who were acting like a bunch of 5 years olds in passing the bill.
