Why have the democrats stopped trying to shut down the Iraq war?

Question

Is it because now that they are in power they are getting their fair share of the pork for their constituents? Now their happy?

their = they're

It is all about the pork isn't it?

Answer 1

Absolutely, the Dems have lied to the people who put them in office, and the American people. (I'm not saying that their plan would've been the best choice for America, because it's not.)

Just remember this line: Where there's a lot of greenbacks to be made, there's the liberals. (Same can be applied to some Repubs too.)

And this is also another example of how our Congress is more concerned with the welfare of themselves, than of the American people.

I know, it stinks.

But good question though. I'll star it.

Answer 2

Could be about the pork but, perhaps it's about the realization that it just cannot be done over night. We went into that country without provocation, now we are morally bound to, at least, help them clean up some of the mess we helped bring about. What a person says while running & what they actually do when elected are, at times, vastly different. Also, the Democrats only have a small majority so they need some of the Republicans to see the light & vote with them in order to get anything done about Iraq & Afghanistan. As you follow the Presidential electons, look out for the ones who tell you they are going to bring our troops home, now! Bunk!

Answer 3

Diane Fienstein is collecting for the DNC. thats why her fellow dems won't indict her.


Between 2001 and 2006[23], Diane Feinstein served as the ranking member of the United States Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies, also known as the "MILCON" subcommittee. Feinstein also served as chair of the MILCON subcommittee when the Democrats controlled the Senate in 2001 and 2002.

While on the MILCON subcommitte, Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions of dollars to firms owned by her husband, Richard C. Blum.[5] This included millions of dollars in contracts awarded to Blum's Perini Corporation to provide goods and services in Iraq and Afghanistan.[24]

Answer 4

the main obvious anti-cohesion is being promoted between the republicans and democrats. i do no longer study terrorist websites or watch their movies. Being suicidal, terrorists in all risk like the conflict. i think of their plan is to maintain us in Iraq till we are broke. i understand that's what Iran and Syria choose by way of fact they determine they are next. The enemies cover in human beings's properties, in mosques, and graveyards. places we can't pass. If the militia become unleashed to truly combat this conflict in a typical wrestle trend, shall we win it right this moment. although, the enemy wears no uniform, has no national alliance, makes use of our policies against us. To win it, we would ruin the country we try to construct and kill way too many civilians. Create greater hatred. we don't understand what proportion have been killed or what proportion stay. for every person killed, 2 greater seem. lots of them are Iraqis of their own skill conflict. we choose a clean thank you to combat this conflict. i do no longer call that surrendering, I call it utilising your head. Staying the course for years on end will bring about greater of the comparable. The Iraq government has to get it mutually asap so they are able to handle it which will, with any luck, reason greater national cohesion for them as a rustic. How do you clarify the shown fact that all human beings become in the back of the attempt in Afghanistan, democrat and republican? Do ya..do ya think of its by way of fact there have been terrorists there?

Answer 5

Because the good members of the Republican party are finally starting to help end this idiocy.

We went into Iraq on faulty intelligence, even Mr. Bush admits it. We attacked a country under false pretenses. As thick witted as they are, the members of Congress (both sides) finally figured out that we should focus on Al Queda and bin Laden instead of strongarming an unarmed country.

Answer 6

I think it is because people are starting to evaluate exactly
what the parties are all about, and what they represent and have for years. Things are going to take a turn for the better we hope. please check out my 360 blog, search through it there is a lot of information and web sites you can check out for yourself what has been going on. Search all pages, it is open to the public.

Answer 7

Because the Democrats were lying when they said they were going to stop the war. It is why I voted third party and not for either of the two Lobbyist parties (Republicans and Democrats).

Answer 8

You got it. It's all about the pork. They are now getting their share so they are happy.

Answer 9

Because it was election talk. Who thinks after the election that a politician will actually do what they say? Vote independent next time we need change.

Answer 10

When did this happen? Does that mean Murtha, Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi and the rest of that bag of nuts are FINALLY going to shut-up?!

I must be dreaming....
