For the anti war crowd?

Question

You hate the war in Iraq, and I get that. If President Obama decides to invade Pakistan, would you be against that war and the lives that would be lost? Or do you only complain when Republicans are in charge? Does the fact that one of your front runners wants to attack a nuclear power worry you? Would you sign up to fight in "Obama's War"? A lot of questions, but I am curious about the answers. Do you really "want the troops home", or do you just not want Bush to succeed, and sending them off to Pakistan is fine as long as a Democrat does it?

I'm sorry, I suppose I should have said "You are AGAINST the war in Iraq". Oh, and before people call me an armchair warrior, this question is coming from a former Marine who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Answer 1

With regards the stupid comment made towards the Queen, by one poster, here, she has no power in Britain to influence anything the British Government does, goes to show how ignorant that poster is, if you have a beef blame the British people who voted the Labour Party onto power for years, then watched as they cut the British Military Forces to pieces to save Government spending!!

Answer 2

I've always been on the fence about whether or not we should have people in Iraq in the first place. But my problem with it is that it just hasn't been handled well at all. My husband had to leave for Iraq a couple of years ago without all of the equipment he was supposed to have, which in my opinion is inexcusable. The tactics they are using over there are NOT working (which I haven't seen first hand, but have heard from MANY returning Marines). So it's time for someone to admit they made a mistake and come up with a definite plan - something more than, "send more people!" If they are not willing to do that, I think we should just end it now because if they don't change anything, it's not going to work anyway.
Now, on to the second part of your question. If Obama won the election and went to war with Pakistan, I would have to look at the facts and decide (1) whether it was justified, and (2) whether they were making every effort to prepare the military for such a war, so that it could be over as soon as possible, and successful.
I'm not George Bush's biggest fan. But even I admit that he has done some good things. The handling of this war, however, is not one of them.

Answer 3

Obama War...uh, no. That really worries me if he was serious about invading Pakistan. If they gave us a 20K buffer zone along the border to operate in that might solve the problem but not fighting in downtown Islamabad. Yes, the troops need to come home...just as long as all our efforts are not wasted that will be the time. If we just left everything in place in BOTH countries and got out now it would cause more termoil...plus 3 years of my life would be wasted...I think that would be crap and I would be more upset than going in the first place.

Answer 4

you're comparing apples and oranges! So what if he pronounced that? we could constantly have by no ability been there as Iraq had no longer something to do with 9/11 or terrorist. yet bin encumbered did and Bush in basic terms can no longer look to locate him! Your premise of a militia victory flies interior the face of contemporary awareness! there will be no militia victory in Iraq (as reported via the U. S. militia commander in Iraq final week) so bin encumbered replaced into top. George HW Bush replaced into top, and Gerald Ford replaced into top! It replaced into Bush who replaced into stupid! the government upped the advantages for bin encumbered to twenty-5 million! shall we see, it incredibly is below a million/4 of money Lotto final week

Answer 5

Personally I disagree with most of our nation's foreign policy decisions and the current fare of mainstream candidates. I support Ron Paul and his idea for a return to a Jeffersonian foreign policy.

Answer 6

I am in the minority on thsi issue I DO support President Bush for the war in Iraq. It was necessary and saddam had to be removed. He was a bully and wanted to keep that tough guy image that is why there wasn't the motherload of WMD's found he did get rid of them (Syria possibly). Iraq IS a training ground for terrorists and while the initial plan was botched pulling out now would make the terrorists bolder and other countries (Iran and N Korea) tougher because they know we cannot back up what we say. The commies especially their QUEEN wants to serve Milk and Cookies while her hubby kisses their *** begging for forgivness. Pulling out now will be a huge mistake. Look what happened in Britian and Scotland days AFTER PM Brown took office. This is a different war different tacticts MUST BE USED!

Answer 7

I just hate to see a whole generation lost in a war that is based on a lie. As for Senator Obama saying that if he is elected he would invade Pakistan what gives him the right to invade another country anyway. Granted it is a haven for terriorists but you try to work with the government there to end the problem not invade and take over and force your beliefs on them.

Answer 8

While I would agree with you that most of the anti war crowd is really an anti Bush crowd, Obama is right, and going to war with a country who's harboring terrorists makes more sense that going to war with a country harboring oil.

Answer 9

Don't forget he said nukes weren't off the table...

Answer 10

The problem with long questions is most liberals only have the attention span to read the first dozen words.
