Do conservatives believe we can win the war in Iraq with The Power of Positive Thinking?

Question

Is it a case of "I'm Okay, You're Okay. This War's Okay"???

dez, Iraq HAD a civilized society, before our sanctions and our war.

Answer 1

They are not really conservatives-they borrow billions from China to fight the War-and most have not served their country in a military sense (Oh yea Romneys kids.....)

Answer 2

First off as someone that has been there, it helps out the morale when you know that your own country is behind. It also helps when your own media reports all the positive things your doing out there. Beleive me it hurts when guys like Harry Reid say we already lost the war, he should be tried for treason, it sends the wrong message to the troops, and makes our enemy stronger. If the enemy knows that the morale and our elected officals are caving in there gonna get bolder and stronger and up the amount attacks, with more road side bombings, suicide bombs, etc. because they feel the more violence they spead the weaker we will and break our will.

Military tactics, since your well schooled HIPPIE in military tactics. We made mistakes in the begining no doubt, it's a differant kind of war and we underestimated the Terror cells in Iraq. We would drive them out, annd keep pushing and not leave a proper security force behind while we were pushing forward, as we were pushing forward and on the offensive the terrorists just pulled a 180 and moved back in while we were gone. The troop surge is putting a stop to that since we can maintain a proper security force and establish 360 degrees of security.

Also it's tough out there, in the begining since we weren't sure who was friend or foe, the enemy doesn't dress in Military uniform they dress in plain street clothes and our own ROE'S hurt us in the begining.

Since you been there hippie I know you know all in Military tactics and the Iraq people, but news flash at the end of the day the good people of Iraq who have been ruled savagely by Saddam, want us to finish the job or at the very least make it place where they finally have some sort of civilized society.

CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE????? WHERE YOU AT????
Those sanctions were placed by the U..N. on Iraq when Saddam decide to invade his neighbor we call that the Gulf War, Saddam also broke 17 U.N Laws for 17 years, and not using profits from oil to feed his people. Get your fac ts straight, and Clinton bombed him in 98 during operation desert fox with the same intell Bush had WHEN WE WENT TO WAR
I am taking about a civilzed society were you don't have to worry about that the leader of your Country is gonna MUSTARD gass you like Saddam did, Also a civilzed leader who doesn't kill you if you speak out against the GOV, think about it pot head, your on here everyday spitting Anti-Bush, Anti-U.S. crap on this site all day long, now I ask you, if you were an Iraq under Saddam rule would you be able to do that, NO you would be dead. Also Saddam straved his people, bruttally murdered them. I got more examples if you need them.

Now if the trerrorists drive us out and win and gain a whole country like they had in Afgan do you think there gonna treat the people of Iraq kindly, or rule with fear, and kill those who oppose them, just like the taliban did in Afagan,

Hippie you posts make no sense, there is a simple answer to all your questions and follow up's that you fail to see

Answer 3

One things is for certain. The solution for middle east will never be solved with the Democrats solutions. They never think if positives. Oh I'm sorry there is one thing they are positive of. They are positive Republicans are always wrong.

Positive thinking may not be the answer. But the negative thinking the Democrats keep spouting definitly won't work.

There's a quote I like. 'Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way, you are right'.

Answer 4

I've been saying that for a long time, that they think that if they click their heels together and chant, "There's no place like Iraq... There's no place like Iraq..." then suddenly Iraq will be a beautiful place, with chocolate milk rivers and bunnies running through fields.

The fact is, they think that by not acknowledging the negative aspects of the war, they'll just go away.

Truth be told, if any of them would spend any time over there watching what's going on firsthand, they'd jump off the USS Bush too.

Answer 5

Wow...another attempt to bash the conservatives. What a unique, fresh, and totally new idea! Ho-hum! I don't see anything coming out of the liberal camp that even remotely resembles a "plan" to fight terrorism.

You just keep on hittin that pipe there, junior.

Answer 6

No
They believe you win it by killing the bad guys to the point the bad guys figure it isn't worth it.

Power of Positive thinking is liberal idea.

They want the war to go bad so they keep saying it in hopes our troops fail so they can say we told you so.

Answer 7

No, that's a liberal "emotional thought process". Sorry to disappoint you.


***Iraq did not have a "civilized" society. Have you ever been there? Before and/or after Saddam?! The word delusional comes to mind.

Answer 8

It is called magical thinking.

If you believe it enough anything can come true.

Now click your heals three times and say.
I will win the lottery.
I will win the lottery.
I will win the lottery.

Damn, it didn't work!

Answer 9

"Iraq HAD a civilized society"
What the FRACK are you talking about.
Did you forget Saddam already.
Why would anyone listen to you now.
You are a MORON, yeah report me.

Answer 10

no, and do the liberals think we can win this war and keep our freedoms by ending the war in Iraq!?
