The Democrats have a vested interest in loosing the war. Can you imagine how bad it would be for their party if we were to actually win? This is why they want to stop the war at all costs. It's sad that for their party to excel, our country has to lose.

What is really disheartening, is the fact that this war is being so politicized. There are no right or wrong parties involved. If the politicians are so smart, why can't they see this. The soldiers are the actual fighters of this war. They know best and should have the most say. I mean would a butcher tell a candle maker how to make candles? Or vice versa. My point is eventually, to end the war, we are going to need collaboration and cooperation, not more dissension.

Whatever you call yourself (democrat, republican, liberal, neo-con), it's all it is---a name.
There is no difference in what is going on in politics between parties. They all are out to serve one agenda. And that is to get people to point fingers at each other so we take our eyes off the real issues.
Those issues are holding our leaders accountable to us, the people of America.
The people are the government. Isn't that what the Constitution says? Our government is of the people, by the people and for the people.
So here is my question to you. Why do you give into the game called politics? Why not go for the greater cause? And that cause would be to bring about bringing the people together?
Your question alone brings about division. Why bother posting this type question?
I posted a question about would you (if you had the opportunity) go to New Orleans to help rebuild. I only received two responses so far.
We are so busy fighting with each other over what our political affiliation is that we have divided America. And a house divided can never stand. It will surely fail.

Yes, yes and yes. But, be careful a few leftest working at Yahoo will bump your question...it's all about selective freedom..i.e. whatever is good for a leftest is good to print and anything that has the Conservative view is not. The socialist have already taken over the morons in our country, it's just a matter of getting ride of the patriots that seems to be their problem

The fact is, ending the threat of jihadist terrorist attacks against the US and its allies would be easy enough. You just need to do what Ron Paul has done, and pay attention to the actual motivations of the jihadist terrorists. Every serious analysis has concluded that their hatred of the US is motivated by actions that the US government has undertaken in their part of the world -- harmful interventions against Muslim populations. These include backing Israeli attacks on Palestinians, the destruction of the civilian infrastructure of Iraq and sanctions that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, support for various dictators in countries like Saudi Arabia, etc.
In order to eventually halt the jihadist terrorists from making these attacks, the US should stop committing these harmful interventions and thus remove the motivation for the jihadist terrorists (whose attacks on civilians they by no means justify) in the first place. Ending these harmful interventions would in any case be the right thing to do from a moral standpoint.
This should of course be combined with a strong law-enforcement effort to go after the jihadist terrorists who undertake such attacks.
Instead, though, the Bush administration has chosen to deny reality, misrepresent the terrorists' motivations, and to engage in even more of these harmful interventions (the invasion/occupation of Iraq, Ethiopia's proxy invasion/occupation of Somalia, etc.). This simply makes the problem worse, motivating more and more Muslims to join the jihadists, and landing the US in the Iraqi quagmire -- much to the delight of al-Qaida, as they state in their internal documents.
A caveat is in order, though. This strategy would take some time to eliminate the motivations of the jihadists -- that kind of hatred and fanaticism does not end in a day.
Another helpful thing to do would be to aid the good groups in the region, such as:

Well, I suspect this is not a genuine quest for info.
But here it is.
The libs or Dems do not think terrorism is a serious threat.
So they don't mind painting the cons or the GOP as jackbooted paranoid thugs.
This makes Iraqi insurgents freedom fighters against the misguided American thugs. Whether a Dem is a Thespian or a believer, one cries for Patriots not Thugs.
Dems believe the demagoguery of portraying the GOP as thugs is justified for the greater good of America, which will be served by their rise to power.
They aren't really 'excited' by the deaths of US soldiers, but they do feel it serves the greater good of getting them elected.
And JFTR many Dems are sincerely ignorant of the demagoguery & see themselves as Patriots who must stop the insanity of George Bush.
Cons know Bush is barely to the right of Clinton. Libs paint him as the reincarnaton of Hitler.

If you would like to intelligently discuss opposing views like an adult, I would be more than happy to share a different take on Iraq.
But...this rant seems to resemble a 'conspiracy theory' more than a political statement. Is your intent to incite anger or outrage? Right now...you have my pity. I'm sad that you can't find a better way to support your country and your party of choice. What you ARE doing is making the moderates (who outnumber liberals and conservatives) wonder if all conservatives are this offensive, and if they really want to vote for a party full of such people in the next election.

i want to clarify something to you ,when the news says:" iraqi insurgents killed" not necessarily they r insurgents, 75 % of them are civilians. Besides, even they were insurgents, they do have the right to fight us soldiers, dont u think so?
Imagine this: Iraq invades usa, and us citizens and former army members start to fight Iraqi soldiers on USA lands, dont they "US citizens" have the right to do so?

can you provide links to what you're saying. I find it hard to believe that anyone (including war protestors) would celebrate any of our soldier's deaths.

that's a rather broad generalization of the problem in Iraq , i don't think you move the situation forward one bit with that.
from a vet who knows there is no black and white, and that there is 2 sides to every conversation.
