Is it possible that Bush sent more troops to Iraq overiding Congress as part of an advance plan?

Question

Did Bush want to get more of the military out of the states before attempting to give our country to the illegals?
Congress did not want to send more troops and Bush refused to listen to them or public opinion.
Does this give possible proof that he has sold out the citizens of our country to our enemies; while ensuring that Congress would have no legal military force large enough to be effective if hostilities do break out between illegals and citizens?

No it is not Congress's decision to send them. They threatend to withhold funding, as Commander in Chief he was able to send them and then use Congressional withholding of funds as a weapon in an election year.
I was taking American Government in college durring this and had to write an analysis of his actions and State of The Union Address. I finished the course with an A+ and I had a "LEGAL" immigrant instructor who disagreed with many of my opinions, but not my work.

I guess I gave Bush to much credit. Another thing we did in class was discuss the role of vice-presidents in history. Cheney was put on the baby Bush team by daddy as a babysitter. Bush really probably isn't smart enough to come up with long range complex plans by himself.

What I meant about lack of forces was if a war breaks out between citizens and illegals, the forces left in the country may be enough to contain and control but not stop. Therefore, Bush stays in power until foreign problems are under control, as domestic problems will create a state of emergency and he can lawfully suspend legal rights and elections.

Answer 1

I don't he's smart enough to think in such a circular fashion. I think you are far more intelligent to envision such a possibility. I think he is more like a spoiled brat who JUST HAS TO HAVE his way.
As for no force capable if hostilities break out...I don't know the exact numbers, but the citizens of this country are armed, peacefully for the most part. We use guns for hunting, protection. If the police couldn't handle it or the national guard, the people would. Such a scenario would be worst-case.

Answer 2

Once again, the blame Bush thing and the issue of more troops. It was VOTED on, that is why they were sent, so blame ALL that voted for it. As for as the illegals, at least they did get MORE public input. Now, guess you will blame Bush for all of this also, when it was actually a KENNEDY Amnesty Bill, and Bush and McCain jumped on the Kennedy Bandwagon, start with blaming Kennedy. There are MORE Dems who voted to pass this bill than Repubs, so why do we not put All the Blame on All the Ones who Voted for things that we do not like, instead of One Person. They are as*holes on both sides of the place. As for as needing the US military, being used in a Illegal Criminals and US Citizens situation, there are other Law Enforcements Agencies , by the thousands that can handle it. Or just let the US citizens handle it, and it will over faster than you can say 911. Because this situation could be handled as fast as a Ant Eater in a ant bed, if given opportunity.

Answer 3

Interesting question. We still have more than sufficient troops here for a military reaction in an emergency.

Possible, yes. Likely? No.

This is NOT a seditious question. Very interesting area to explore. You aren't spreading rumors, just asking questions.

I would disagree with you on "Bush refused to listen to them or public opinion." He listened, then chose otherwise. It may even been his duty to do so. We can't run the country by democracy until our educational system is fixed, and the proper laws are passed. It isn't Congresses decision whether to send troops. It IS their decision to fund or not to fund them. They chose to fund them, so Congress has done the same as he. They might know something you don't.

Answer 4

I think Bush assumed Republicans would remain in power. I don't think he foresaw a shift.

I think the surge was partly to spite voters, and also to show that he had a plan. he wasn't going to listen to the democrats, but the election did wake him up.
