Question

well don,t hold your answers back,,cause we an,t ever leaving Iraq,,got lotes of time....

Answer 1

Congress defunded the Veitnam War thus forcing Nixon and Ford to bring the troops home.

Congress will probably do that again and the world will thank our congress for that.

So will I

So will our troops who really have no idea what their mission is -- the enemy is not clearly defined. The war on terror should not be this kind of war, but rather surgical with specialized troops and equipment.

Peace

Answer 2

Asking this "question" again?

No one is proposing "cutt[ing] off the needed supplies" for anyone. If the Democrats decide to stop funding this debacle, the troops will have to come home. I also don't know what you mean by "just for political reasons." The Congress has a job to do, and it's not the same job as the President's. They need to make sure that American lives and money are being well spent, and if they find they aren't, stop the spending.

I fear that your question is indicative of the extremely low level of political discourse in this country. People thing calling someone a "socialist" or a "liberal" is making a big political point of some sort.

Answer 3

If past experience is any indication they probably will. Many times in the past Democrats have short changed the military because funding them wouldn't get them votes. Why do you think the military personnel vote Republican by a wide majority. Many people who vote Democrat before they go in to the military change and vote for Republicans, especially when it comes to President.

I could be wrong but I believe that was the reason Al Gore wanted a selective recount rather than a complete recount. There were a lot of absentee ballots thrown out that came from military personnel stationed overseas. And there were a lot of absentee ballots thrown out in districts that have military bases. Every absentee ballot from a military person stood a lot better chance of going for Bush than a hanging chad did going for Gore.

Answer 4

First - cutting off funds means the troops would have to come home. There is enough money in the pipeline to bring them home safely.

Second - it is the job of the Congress to set policy, How does that make a policy change "just political"? Troop withdrawal would be a belated effort to put our country back on the right track.

Answer 5

You mean would george keep the troops there even though he has no budget to maintain them overseas! What will he gain from pissing off the voting populace right before the 08 election? George is only going to make it impossible for all the other republicans running for reelection in Nov 08!

Answer 6

Why does the right think that every action by Bush related to Iraq is apolitical and noble and everything the Dem's do is the opposite? Are people really that politically naive and cynical?

Answer 7

If they did this they would lose the 08 election hands down. They hate Bush and all Republicans but they would never stop funding the war. Even if they did Bush would veto their bill so it really wouldn't matter much except get the American people 100% against them. They are dumb but they aren't that dumb.

Answer 8

its a massive pork project
