Are there any republicans out there who feel just horrible about what Bush has brought to the iraqi people?

Question

and not out of necessity but rather out of choice? He just chose to turn their world into a living hell, and by all indications wants to keep making their lives a living nightmare?

Answer 1

Yes. As a republican, I am totally disgusted by the fact that Bush invaded Iraq, and is occupying the country with no end in sight.
To me it seems the only objective is to keep our troops fighting with no end in sight, and waste hundreds of billions of dollars of tax payer money.

I am a fiscal consevative, and old time republican, and this is not the republican party that I grew up loving. Its really sad to be honnest.

Answer 2

As a former combat vet, I am totally opposed to the iraq war. Bush created this mess, and now he says we can't leave or else the mess will get worst. Well, were I come from, we call that crazy talk and bull crap. Only a moron would buy into that kind of deficient logic. If we accept Bush's argument, it means people can do virtually anything wrong they want, and then later on tell the rest of us...oh well, we are there already, and if we leave it will be worst. Your kids can lie to you about going to the amusement park saying they have free tickets and when you get there, they will tell you they lied, but if you go back home now you will have wasted a trip for no reason, etc.,..

Answer 3

The U.S. is not making their lives a living hell. The imported terrorists are. In the years between the two gulf wars, Saddam killed more than twice as many Iraqis than have been killed by the terrorists since we invaded. Lets see, three times as many people have reliable electricity, than under Saddam. Municipal water/sewage availability is is now up by more than 1000%, The U.S. aranges refuse removal in more areas than under Saddam.....wow you you are right we are making their lives a living hell.........and pigs can fly. While there were mistakes made, point out a war in which there were not, and I'll ride that flying pig. Since by all measures, the change in tactics is working as advertised........meaning it is working, life will only get better. Please don't forget, for the first time in Iraq's history, there are free elections.
Wait maybe you are right. I now think we should stick our tails between our legs and come home in shame. Yes leaving before we can claim victory is a much more honorable solution. Yes turning Iraq over to the terrorists will make us much safer. Lets just get the yellow paint out and put a stripe down our backs....just to make sure the whole world knows that we are cowards, and will never trust us again........yes your way makes much more sense..........not.

Answer 4

WHAT?!! We are trying to help them and make them a democratic nation. Bush is making their life hell? Why don't you ask the Iraqi citizens who was worse, Bush or Saddam? Saddam's sons raped women of their choice and had a "rape" room. They raped pregnant women just to kill the babies and beat them to death!! Saddam killed anyone that didn't agree with him and slaughtered them in the street. So, tell me now, who's more horrible? I'm a Republican and I'm glad we got rid of Saddam. Personally, I know Iraqi people that are glad we went there.

Answer 5

Let's call Chalibi, in Tehran, and ask him.

We didn't have any business going into Panama when we did. But the Panamanians sure had a different attitude about being liberated than the Iraqis do.

All I'm saying is, let's not totally excuse the Iraqis for all the killing. After all they are the ones who are doing most of the killing.

Answer 6

As a vietnam vet and Republican, I think it is a shame what Bush is doing to our boys. Its really a national travesty. As for the Iraqi people, sure, I agree, if it was not for Bush, there would be over 100,000 iraqis alive now who are currently dead.

Answer 7

It's what the Iraqi people have brought to bush

Answer 8

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 most liberals who never sereved think they are 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.

I know most Liberals who have never served seem to think they 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.

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.

I've heard the cries, when the gun fire has ended and no bombs are going off ,you look into the eyes of the people and there happy were there.

Some still talk about how they lived in fear lived in a world that you and I couldn't possibly image, Like you leader mustard gassing you, Saddam did that, and the people lived in fear of it, They also lived in fear that if they opposed him they would be killed, There others but getting tired,


, that's no way to live and if we leave and don't finish it, they will once afgain be ruled by fear, Osama, Iran or whoever warlord.

Hippie it tough out there, You son't even know a quarter of it


Now if the terrorists 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,

Trust me, it would be a nightmare, it take from someone who has been there, if we just cut and ran right now, it would empower our enemies, bring instability to an already volatile region and Iran and Osama, would have another to use as Training centers, for terrorists, and a safe haven. Then when they go back on the offensive and bring the fight back on U.S. Soil, the left wing nuts will blame Bush for leaving early. Bush is in a no-win-situation

Answer 9

Yeah, I bet they long for the Golden Days under Saddam. Longs walks on the beach with expensive champagne, freedom to express themselves however they want, and all the peach cobbler you can eat. What a paradise.....


I truly wish everyone on this website would read dez604's answer and take it to heart. God bless you, and thanks for your service that allows us this freedom.
