[bobmarisol]

bobmarisol, Your a moron You cannot defeate an ideaology with any military or a religion. Every general & admrial in our military tells you that.

Your wacko religious views didn''t come about until the 16th century, keep that in mind.... Keep this in mind also, Nothing in Iraq or Afhaganistan is going as Bush or McCain says it is.

Thanks for your name calling - it really makes you sound intelligent.

You claim we cannot win, you say ''every general and admiral'' agrees with you. Yet General David Petraus has stated repeatedly that we ARE WINNING in Iraq, that Al Queda IS LOSING, and that we just need more time to secure our advances.

Of course, you Dems don''t like General Petraus. After all, it was you liberals that called him ''General Betray Us'' just because he said we can win the war.

JERSupporter...What exactly do you expect the Democrats to do? If they attempt anything at all its blocked by the Republicans. Posted by tomanyt

Unite the Nation and get us out of Iraq - just as they promised. No more excuses.

Based on the results of the last Congressional elections, most Americans see a problem with GOP/Republicans; at least in the way they make decisions about the use of our military. Posted by getcentered
------------------------------
I voted in this Democratic Congress and they still have NOT done anything about Iraq. So when are the troops coming home? I thought the Democratic Congress promised that when they were running? Just like our democratic presidential candidates are promising... wait a minute... maybe? No never. They just told us they would... God Dang

It is perfectly true that a quick Iraq withdrawal will require something very painful: admitting a colossal strategic mistake. This is the #1 unbearable disgrace for Republicans and all other core backers of the war and occupation. The #2 disgrace would be payment of reparations to Iraq through a UN or World Bank trust. #3 would be the outrage of the post-occupation Iraqi government resolving the oil issue on its own terms, possibly contracting French, Russian, and Chinese firms, while leaving US or UK firms on the sidelines.

Self-denial, vanity, fear to face the music, and greed are at play. It has nothing to do with US security. The fiasco has made us less secure, drained lives and money, and now we are the laughingstock of much of the world.

Don''t believe in polls? Well, how about the value of the US dollar on world exchanges?

Let Iraqis rule Iraq, whether by federation, partition, or unitary state. Any model we impose will crumble the day we leave, whether that occurs now or in 100 years. Iraq will not be pro-US, pro-Israel, or pro-anything we favor so long as we occupy them, or as long as we contrived to have privileged access to their oil.

Medieval Europeans wasted 250 years on their venture. Better to learn from them, plus from Britain''s troubles in Iraq in the 1920s onward, rather than repeat a futile imperial exercise.

The trillion plus we waste in Iraq could have done so much more for our security or economy if spent on just about anything else.

bobmarisol,,,, Your a moron --- You cannot defeate an ideaology with any military or a religion --- Every general & admrial in our military tells you that.

If the UN & European nations tell you Israel violates human rights, A Christian Born Again Eveangelist President says they commit genocide ----- Than they certainly do .

Your wacko religious views didn''t come about untill the 16th century, keep that in mind.... Keep this in mind also, Nothing in Iraq or Afhaganistan is going as Bush or McCain says it is.

bobmarisol...Isreal should be blown off the plant. They are the biggest source of problems in the Middle East.

TomTerrorist - if that is your way of thinking, I suggest you go join Al Queda where you belong. I''m sure you and Bin Laden will be good friends.

As for your idiotic and murderous ideology, I challenge you to name just one Israeli that flew a plane into the World Trade Center? Or name one Jew that attacked the USS Cole? Or name one Jew that has attacked USA troops in Iraq or Afghanistan, or anywhere else?

Our military can and will defeat any and all evil in this world, including radical Islam. Unfortunately, the Dems think our military cant win (just ask Harry Reid).

And I suppose you believe that the checks the government is getting ready to send out will bring our economy back to what it was?

[tomanyt]

So now what? Will the US institute the draft?

are you referring to when Murtha accused our troops of ''''killing innocent Iraqis in cold blood''''?? The troops he was talking about were later exonerated (found completely innocent), yet Murtha has never apologized. Sure sounds like he''''s on the side of the troops.

Of course, the Dems love to say they are ''''on the side of the troops'''' or that they ''''support the troops'''' - yet the Dems wont acknowledge the successes the troops have achieved in Iraq. Dems like Harry Reid say ''''the war is lost'''' even though violence has dropped 60% in the last 12 months and Al Queda is on the run and political progress has been made. Posted by bobmarisol

I am a Democrat and I support the Troops - In fact, I have a yellow ribbon magnet on my SUV. LOL

Danstoned - I am not Jewish (I am Christian), but I do appreciate the contributions of the Jewish people to our world. They are peaceful people who value freedom. They have been persecuted for 2,000 years, most recently by Nazi Germany and Muslim extremists.

Secondly, you should be careful before buying into the liberal propaganda that the USA puts Israel above American interests. The USA, like Israel, is a peaceful nation, a force for good in the world, and we value freedom. Although we are peaceful, part of what makes us great is that we are not afraid to fight for freedom and good in the world. Our military can and will defeat any and all evil in this world, including radical Islam. Unfortunately, the Dems think our military cant win (just ask Harry Reid).

Dwight Eisenhowers grand daughter, who supports Obama 100%. Posted by danstoned
------------------------
We can only hope that Obama is a Uniter. But please take off your rose colored glasses because all I stated was We still need to see action vice words from your messiah Obama and It sure seems like Obama has not gone to church much? Those are the questions many people are asking. But now that Dwight Eisenhowers grand daughter supports Obama - well then perhaps that is all I need.

The president is to give a speech Thursday in Ohio on the political and economic situation in Iraq.

''The surge is working! Mission accomplished! Stay the course!'' Yes, yes, we know. But Doofus, that was 5 years ago. We know you are the great ''Decider'' but somehow something just doesn''t seem right. What''s that you say? ''The surge is working. Mission accomplished! Stay the course!'' Ah... someone wake me in 299 days. I''ve had enough!
