They don't think we're winning in Iraq. Fine. I agree. But why are they so anxious to lose and surrender? Can't they propose a winning strategy or solution for a change?

There is no way to win? Sorry, I don't believe in the no-win scenario. Let me just throw out two alternatives to our current policy, that may win, or may not.
1. Split the country into 3, Iraqistan for the Kurds, Iraqunni for the Sunni and Iraqia for the Shia. Let them each form their own governments.
2. Throw out what we've done and just install a US made Constitution for Iraq, and a puppet gov't, like we did in Japan.
3. Pick 1 influential person in Iraq who is friendly to the USA and install him in gov't.
I'm just throwing out ideas here. I don't claim to be anywhere as smart as many others. Where's the creative thinking?

For Liberals, politics always trumps national security. Liberals will do anything if it means they can be restored to power.
"We Lost, Get out!"has been their catchphrase for years now. What happens if we win? They look like total fools.
You can't trust a Liberal with your security!

Does this sound familiar? It is from one of your idealistic heroes.
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

We were promised this would take a few months. It's been 4 1/2 years and we haven't won yet. How are liberals supposed to "propose a winning strategy or solution for a change?" when the president vetos the bills to bring the war to a close?
We're anxious to bring out troops home and we're anxious to quit losing soldiers and civilians EVERY DAY.

The ulterior motive in all of this was voiced by reid, they will win more seats in congress if we lose the war.
I hope all of the family and friends of those young patriots who have given their lives for this country remember reids words when they go to the election booth in 08

Unfortunately, thanks to the amazing blunders and lack of planning by the current administration, there is no longer a feasible means of victory in Iraq. We cannot defeat an insurgent army that doesn't need massive amounts of troops or supplies, that can get new recruits merely by virtue of our presence, that can build its weapons from scrap, and can blend in with the population. As long as we're there, they will be there fighting us. As long as they're fighting us, we cannot win. Perhaps had we not dismantled the Iraqi security forces upon the defeat of the Iraqi army perhaps had we taken the centuries of animosity among three groups into account before we invaded, and planned accordingly, we could have been in a position to secure victory. But that chance is long gone.
Unless you can show me where this analysis is flawed, please admit the sorry truth.

Pretending to support the troops is a lie by Liberals. You see that, right? Yelling at them, you can't win, you're maimed for a lie, etc. isn't supporting the troops. They claim they're trying to save their lives, right? It's Vietnam all over to them, and their jumping for joy!
A Liberals goal is to win the White House, continue to control the Congress. It doesn't matter at what cost, even to American citizens freedom. They will make up any lie, example: Conspiracy theories, and in all of those BS stories, Bush did it. They hate right, they hate love, and honor, but especially they hate the truth. Didn't you see them gloat when they got control of the Congress in the last election? They were all over the place laughing in the face of Republicans, and freedom. They hate freedom, and want Socialism to replace it. Our forefathers didn't fight, suffer, and die for Socialism. We cannot allow them to change the face of America.
I have noticed, however, that a lot of Liberals are rather disappointed by their new Democratically controlled government, since who they elected are not listening to them, as they thought when they cast their vote.
Liberals? Your elected Democrats want the illegal aliens here to take your jobs from you. You pleaded with them before the amnesty bill was killed, not to say yea, but nay instead, but most of them said yea to the bill against your wishes? Happy now? You got what you voted for.
By the way, most Republicans voted NAY. I guess that means the majority of the Republicans listened to the voters? Hmmm, you decide.

Why are conservatives so eager to see our soldiers come home in bodybags? Republicans keep saying the war is not working, but then vote to continue it. The blood of our soldiers is on their hands.

There isn't one. Get that through your head. There never was one. Georgie was told, time and time again that going into Iraq would destabilize the region...But did he listen...NOOOOOOO..
Best thing we can do is get out. Enough of our men and women and innocent Iraq's have died as it is.
