So is it something you seek out? Select leaders who seek it out? Proud of?
I thought the goal was to avoid war or is that not the goal of McBush?

You people are nuts. Bush screwed up his invasion and the world has been paying for it for 6 years now. Finally we start to turn the corner, even as our attention on Iraq makes Iran and Afghanistan terrorists stronger, and now the Iraqi government and people join Obama, 80% of Americans and just about all of the civilized world to say enough...and a few little weasels cower in the corner and shout from their cover "See we told you so!!!"

Just friggin amazing.

Can you imagine during WWII, on the beaches where thousands died in ONE day, what would have happened if magically the dems/libs of today were transported back to that time?

We'd all be speaking German.

Casualties in Iraq - 2008

Why do you continue to post that you care about the troops when you dont?
I am sorry but people die in war if you didnt know that. And, this war has less deaths then any war we have ever been in.

We are an all volunteer Army, they know what they are up against when they sign up. They are all very brave people who the majority of them agree we did and are doing the right thing. Many gave their life so others can have freedom and now you rat liberals are undermining their efforts.

Keep going back to the numbers, I knew you would anyway. Use your scare tactic because only the stupid far left wacko's look at numbers instead of results.

Our troops also see that we have almost destroyed terrorism to the point they are weaker. That inturns make us safer ! Why cant you see that?

No we are not running home Kev, that would be stupid. I said the surge is working and continues to work and it would be stupid to run away from something that is working so well.

Its not up to you or us to decide this, its up to the people who are experts in their field and they say we need to stay to make sure the exact thing you want to happen, things reverse and we go back. But that is what you want anyway.

Get over it people, we are winning and we are staying until it is totally secure. Even boy wonder now believes it.

Right. A nation with an army vs evil little boogeymen that we created with an invasion of a sovereign nation.

Try again, cowboy.

There is a very good reason they have the reputation for being weak on these issues.

There can be no denial on this one. For 2 years, the dems/libs in congress have done everything they could to see us defeated in Iraq and elsewhere. There is a clear and startling record of the effort they have made to surrender and give the victory to AQ and Iran.

The American electorate knows this, has been aware of the struggle between the democrat-led congress and "W".

I can't wait to see the ads that tell the story.
Surely you can do better. The record shows that Congress in general has failed to advance the will of the people to remove the Soldiers from harms way. This is not merely a Dem/Lib issue when the Congress and Administration's approval rating are both hovering at historic lows. What has become clear and startling is the will of the Iraqi Government as they jump into the fray and literally blindsided those of you who wish to vacation longer than your ticket allows.

Dont you make mistakes, bet you do! Sure he made am mistake 6 years ago, but we are talking about right now, today.

I thought you liberals said Iran didnt have terrorist and are no threat to anyone??????

Sorry, 67% of American have said we need to stay the course because of all the good news. You must be looking at a 2004 liberal media guide.

We can say we told ya so, why? Because it is working, we are winning in Iraq and liberals were wrong all along.

Obama- get real, he was against the war, for the war, against the war, voted to fund the troops, voting not to fund the troops and missed the boat on this golden opportunity and now is flipping over to our side and saying Iraq is becoming a success.

The real weasels and traitors are those who dont have the guts or heart to realize you were wrong. Admit it, this was your baby and you were wrong, end of story!

This congress had no mandate from the people.

As I recall, the mantra of the dems/libs before 2006 elections was "corruption", not Iraq war. If that were the case, Soup-line Nancy would not have had so much trouble keeping her blue-dog dems in line.
