They get too caught up in the reasons we were mislead into Iraq, to notice there are now actual terrorists there that need to be taken out. They believe that our resources would be better used in the Afghanistan theater of the war. By wanting to pull our troops out of Iraq, they show their ignorance in what horrendous misstep that would be. It would show the world that not only did we enter Iraq in the wrong way, but all we managed to do was oust one secular tyrant and replace him with hundreds of religious ones. Any semblance of Iraqi governmental control would be destroyed after our redeployment.
Like it or not, we have made Iraq a part of the war on terror. Some people, both Democrat and Republican, fail to believe it is as bad as it really is.

They are down to 5000 troops in Iraq. They are talking about taking a less active roll in the one province they are still fighting in. Saying he supports Bush and the war on terror is probably his way of saying he doesn't want to call Blair an idiot. Brown actually believes (from what I have heard) that terrorism is a criminal action that should be taken care of through law enforcement, not war.

We support America and the War on Terrorism - we just do not agree with creating power vaccuum wastelands in which terrorists can develop.
We want to get on with fighting the war on terrorism.

No, Gordon Brown didn't say that.
What he said was that the war to be fought is Afghanistan.
You can bet Brown is NOT going to back Bush. That's what cost Tony Blair his job. Brown is not that stupid as to follow the American idiot into Iraq.

If you equate not having TOTAL agreement with the war in Iraq as not supporting america you obviously do not understand the founding principles of the United States of America.
The war in Iraq was entered into on faulty reports at best and outright lies at worst. I neither feel we should have ever invaded nor feel we should stay.
I do however fully support the United States of America and the Constitution of that great country.

Did you know that Britian has reduced its manpower in Iraq from 30,000 to 5,000 over the past couple of years? Please tell me how Tony Blair and now Gordon Brown are supporting your so called War on Terrorism?

Blackwater, a private American security firm contracted by the government has more private soldiers in Iraq than England has deployed in Iraq. But you knew that, right?

Why does showing support for or dissent against a senseless bloodbath with no direction and no objective instantly show your support for the country as a whole? I'm pro-American, so I believe we should take our tropps out of Iraq so that the military population stops decreasing to enable it to defend us in the face of a real threat.

The Democrats are very invested politically in defeat in Iraq and also they don't even believe in the war on terror...it doesn't even exist to them.

We do support an intelligent war on terrorists, not just shooting everything that looks similar.
