Do neo-cons truly believe that if people kept silent, the Iraq war would be a smashing success by now?

Question

Did "libs" use forged "yellowcake" documents?
DId "libs" disband the Iraqi army?
Did "libs" ignore the generals who recommended far more troops for the post invasion?

Yet somehow "libs" speaking out are to blame for Bush's failed strategies?

-
So much for holding people accountable for their decisions.

The Voice (below) Makes sense. These past four years have been part of Bush's rope-a-dope tactic to wear down the enemy enough for Petraeus to swoop in for the final blow. Thanks for clearing that up.

Jeremy R (below) Neo-cons don't even want to pay taxes to fund this debacle. Yet they always say "freedom isn't free".

Answer 1

If they do they are deluded, and no to all your other points.
President Bush's strategy has not been a complete failure for him. When Gen. Petraeus makes his report the need to stay in Iraq will become clear.The white House prepared report will ensure that leaving Iraq any time soon is not possible.

That is the reason for building military bases there. Never exit = no exit strategy.

Lets answer some others above;

Did libs literally disband our military
-OK they did cut funding.

BUSH ignored his own people in the CIA about Bin Laden
Cheney ignored his own warnings about Saddam Hussein
Republicans cut and run from Vietnam war

Answer 2

I disagree with your definition of libs speaking out.
Civil discourse and civil disagreement are the founding principals of this country. What many liberals are practicing today is hate speech. I have seen Janeane Garofalo in a speech call Republicans evil, Jessica Lange say that she despises President Bush, Al Sharpton compare President Bush to a gang leader and Ted Kennedy say the war in Iraq was made up in Texas and a fraud. To understand- just switch the word African American with the word Republican or President Bush. What would be the result if someone said that African Americans were evil? Many Liberals name call and make accusations with no factual basis. Some of these individuals would be sued for slander if their statements were made against anyone other than President Bush. Yet- Liberals say their right to speak is being infringed upon by Conservatives. This is spin at its greatest. Hate speech is not civil discourse! Liberals have the right to speak out and express their views(even hate speech)- however- Conservatives have a right to react to that speech.

Answer 3

Failed strats? I find this difficult to believe. Pull your head out of your liberal papers and ear out of the liberal slander. The address of the state of the war in Iraq is to be made next week by General Petraeus. This is the same general elected BYPARTISAN which I doubt you know the meaning of but go ahead and look it up big guy. Done? Ok lets keep going. But as I can already tell by your question that you have been going along with the propaganda put forward by the democratic party in a serious and outright treasonous effort to discredit one of our own before he even says a word.

Liberals - Blame whatever you can on someone else and rationalize the rest as best as you can.

Answer 4

It seems the only ones calling the war a "failure" is Liberals!

This war will go on for a long, long time, and President Bush has even said it will go on long after he has left office, it'll probably go on long after all of us are gone!! This is not a hit and run deal, this is a GLOBAL crisis/tragedy - Kosovo, Ahnbar, Kohbar, Embassies, World Trade Center - Everywhere.

It's not a fly-by-nighter deal. It is the reason we have won our Freedoms before in every other battle, it must be continually fought for international peace, Freedom does'nt come handed to you through the bloodstream, it comes through blood, sweat, and tears, of those who believe in defending it - Ask anyone before the turn of the twentieth century, they'll tell ya.

Yet somehow libs are blaming Bush for their failures

Note to ChiGuy - I see that you don't like competition so thanks for the thumbs down, next time you want to do a battle of wits don't come un-armed.

EDIT: Note to Think 1st. perhaps you should think first, pleas look at this link from the former head of the CIA during Clinton's administration.

Answer 6

This is your conclusion, not mine. I do think there is a ton of media propaganda which demoralizes our troops, however.
