Why are the democrats insisting the US do everything it can to prevail in Iraq?

Answer 1

Because no one wants to cause a disaster just because it's a popular among the masses to say withdraw. The only way out is to prevail. Unfortunately we are stuck there for a while.

Answer 2

Th..they, they aren't- wait, What!?

In general Democrats are leaning toward a withdrawal from Iraq. Slowly but surely so are the Republicans. The closer we get to the elections the more both sides will pander to the will of the people (novel idea), which is to get outta there. Both parties would be for the war if the people wanted it that way. The fact is votes are more important than doing what's right.

What is right?

That's another question.

Answer 3

To "prevail" in Iraq? One of the major Democratic complaints about the Iraq War is that there is no clear definition of "winning," so you'll have to cite your source for that question to make sense.

Answer 4

Is that what they're doing this week? Last I recall, Harry Reid said we'd already lost. What could we possibly do to prevail in a war we've already lost?

Answer 5

What is the opposite of prevail? Fail...I think both parties are correct in not advocating failure.

Answer 6

Actually, it's the Republicans that are insisting the US remain in Iraq at all costs until there is no more violence.

The Democrats want to make the decisions based on what is best for the US, and what is best for the troops.

The Democrats don't have a "stay the course despite all costs" mindset.

Answer 7

last time i checked the Dem's wanted us out of Iraq and feel that we have lost.

Answer 8

If Western civilization doesn't get tough on "Islamism" and either send them home or worse, all of us will suffer the consequences of what can only be called a racial and religious war against us that will drag us into the darkest of ages, blacker than the robes that they swaddle their women in. I ,for one, would rather die than be converted by a sword at my neck to any belief system. I will fight, my family will fight--join us now--call for the return of Muslims to their own countries. Withdraw their citizenship and send them, as well as those who have converted to their murderous system, back to their own lands.

Here is what they believe:

Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani

14 Feb, 2007

Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?

Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.

Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.

Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal-miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and the lives of our children at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism

Answer 9

I can't recall any democrat making any statement or taking any action to remotely imply this. I'm not a democrat and this is just one of the problems I see with the democrat party, it would seem as though they actually want to see us fail.

Answer 10

Not sure, but likely cause they want US to prevail in Iraq.
