During General Petraeus's apperance before congress, did any Democrats ask what they can to do help?

Question

Just wondering...

UtahMike, you busted me. Yes, I'm listening to Rush, and I thought it would be a good question.

Suckrates, on the wrong road? Lets see, how many times have we been attacked since 9/11? That's right, NONE. "we'll have to maintain a military presence for years", well poo hoo. How long after WW2 did we maintain a military presense in Germany? That's right, THEY'RE STILL THERE.

Answer 1

You must be listening to Limbaugh. He just asked the same question. No worries though as it is a good question.

Answer 2

we are able to be caught there for a decade or greater...it truly is the worst of it...effective a surge in troops has had an afffect, I had little doubt that it does no longer, regardless of the undeniable fact that this is been no cake walk those previous few years....i'm a democrat that may not against an armed conflict, yet who will income? i think of that's truly like the colonization of Africa by ability of Europeans interior the 20 th century (to recent)...that's no longer with reference to the folk of Iraq, this is approximately ability...and Iraq is smack dab interior the direction of it....are we arranged as a rustic to combat all of us for this little piece of airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust and oil? we gained't carry Iraq for some years devoid of pacifying Iran and Syria. China and Russians and whoever else can't be happy with the US preserving this valuable section. Insurgents would be continuously attacking US hobbies. yet that's the actual question: Will person-friendly individuals income from pacifying the midsection East....or is this area of the "trickle down" concept back? Is it nicely worth dropping a a son for? or 10000 sons, or according to probability greater? i'd be in the back of this if the Admin. wasn't so stingy with the actuality

Answer 3

Your question got me wondering. When the titanic was sinking did any of the passengers or crew offer to grab a bucket and start bailing? It amazes me how many people still seem to think that the U.S. is basically on the right track and we've just hit a few bumps in the road. Newsflash: WE'RE ON THE WRONG ROAD!, and have been since the U.S. troops set foot in Iraq under false pretenses. I don't expect Bush to ever admit that. I do expect that, no matter who's elected president, no matter who controls the House, Senate and military, the U.S. will be forced to maintain a significant military presence in or near Iraq for generations, but as citizens could we please stop trying to call a manure pile a rose garden?

Answer 4

That would have been nice and considerate considering General Petraeus is trying to deal with the situation given to him in the best way possible. But all I heard was criticizm.

Answer 5

of course not. the Democrats do not want to help. they only want to complain, whine and obstruct. and it does not matter the subject, anything that Republicans/the White House is in favor of the Democrats as a party are opposed/critical of/attack via ad hominem.

Answer 6

Now you know that would take political courage.
One senator did mention ithe Iraqi government hasn't lived up to expectations.
My response, "has ours?"

Answer 7

I highly doubt any democrat would want to help... They only want to see our troops out of Iraq, and not even worry about the millions of Iraqi civilians that will die if we do leave.... Help??? More like abandon...

Answer 8

I believe all the democrats did was bash him. Bunch of idiots.

Answer 9

Use their power and sense to try to solve all the problems not just attack

Answer 10

Yes they did. They also offered alternative ideas which Petraeus refused to give any thought to.
