If 95% of the nation demanded Bush to bring the troops home, wouldn't he just say no?

Question

Princess Zelda (below) nuked by foreign terrorists??? The Iraq war somehow prevents this worse fears scenario? How?

Speedfreak (below) Actually, only "fools and cowards" are led by fear.

Answer 1

The Iraqi PM says we can leave and he still says no. Of course he would say no even if 99% of the US said bring the troops home.

Answer 2

nicely actual, it is not a rely of what we would like. i'm particular maximum folk choose the yank and British forces to come again lower back abode however the nice and cozy button is is that Bush went into Iraq to 'unfastened the Iraqis' or so he says and so now that he's 'freed' them from Saddam, somebody's have been given to stay at the back of to guard the Iraqis from the scuffling with that is occurring there. think of the way it may seem for Bush if he created this mess then in basic terms left devoid of cleansing it up. He has no determination yet to stay in Iraq till the job is finished.

Answer 3

I think he's said that he'll keep the troops in Iraq even if the only people who still supported him were his wife and his dog. The US is a Republic, not a Democracy. If you didn't want him to do what he thinks is right, you shouldn't have voted for him. And if you didn't vote for him, then deal with the fact that your side lost the election, so you don't get to make the decisions this term.

Answer 4

Yep, and for my money it's the right answer.

Nixon said he'd end the war during his campaign. People voted heavily for that, but he didn't get around to it until his second term. That PO'd a lot of his voters the first time around, but didn't stop him from getting re-elected.

We probably need to be in Iraq for another 6-10 years. It's a scary thought given that I have a 14 year old son, but there it is.

Answer 5

Of course he would try, but if it was 95%, even the Republicans would be forcing him to back down, and if not, make him "go to his room" until his term was up, for they could not endure the worsening fiasco of his approval ratings.

Right now he is just securing long term oil rights for Exxon, no bid contracts for Halliburton, the oil pipeline across Afghanistan, and more military bases in the Middle East. He doesn't care about public opinion as he doesn't really work for us. He represents big business, arms dealers, and big oil.

Answer 6

Yes, because he should say no.

Anyone with any wisdom knows that most people don't really have a clue about too much and are relatively uninformed. Only fools and cowards would be led by mob rule.

Answer 7

No, because 95% of the nation doesn't want to bring the troops home. I mean, I'll be more than happy when the war is over and they all come home, but most people would rather be protected and have troops overseas instead of being nuked by foreign terrorists.

Yes, it does. If you don't like the war, why don't you go over there and fight for America instead of bashing our country like it's a piece of crap. And you call yourself an American? You're pathetic.

Answer 8

I'd say write your wimpy Congressman and Senators... ask them why they need to take August off when we're in the midst of this greatest crisis of all times. They could cut all funding in 24 hours. Ohh.. they need to have their fundraisers.. I forgot.

Answer 9

I love how Speedfreak refers to democracy as "mob rule".
Probably the same way Bush views it, and would be the reason he would say NO.

Answer 10

He would say no, as the Presidents power is not contingent upon public opinion...
