The New Republic: Controversial Code Pink Has Made A Name For Itself On Capitol Hill

katg says: "... your world which revolves around Bush. You are obsessed with hatred."

Nah we love America thats all. Bush is only a minor irritation. It''s like when a hiker wanders between a mama bear and her cub--the mama doesn''t hate the hiker, she just wants him out of the way. And he better move aside quick.

Gotta love you neocons, who think the world revolves around Bush

On the contrary, Rafterman, it is your world which revolves around Bush. You are obsessed with hatred.

Maybe they need to spend a little time over there themselves to really get a feel for what''s going on. I also don''t think they''re very "respectful" of those that have served over there. Are they saying that those men and women have no purpose and shouldn''t feel good about the job they did because PINK thinks the war is a waste? Things aren''t as "PINK and White" as they think they are.

They say they want to back Iraqi women well many of them have only NOW been able to lift that veil. Changes don''t just come by "magic".

I''m tired of the war too but...it''s not as easy to walk away as people think. Bush, for good or bad, isn''t the ONLY deciding factor. This whole idea of "impeaching" him is silly...No president makes the "sole" decision to start or end a war. I think these people need to go back to school and see how the "process" works.

This whole middle east thing is like being faced down by a rabid dog. Your eyes are locked together and the dog is just waiting for you to turn and walk off. If you move that dog is going to bite your keester. You need to subdue the dog before you can get out of dodge.

If they want us out so bad all they have to do is "behave" for a few months and quit blowing each other up. I''m quite certian we''ll have the chance to leave then.

===These women in pink are hate mongers, driven by their disdain for Bush, nothing more.===

Gotta love you neocons, who think the world revolves around Bush. You act like they woke up one day deciding to hate on Bush for no reason. Well, we all hate Bush, but we got plenty of reasons. The war in Iraq, the corruption, the shredding of the Constitution, the damage his policies have done to this country and his general air of arrogance and stupidity are the top reasons.

ITS IS THE OTHER SIDE THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF PEACE OF CO-EXISTANCE.

Well said. I don''t think there''s a person in this country who doesn''t want peace; but most understand that achieving peace is not as easy as just bringing the troops home. The bigger picture is often ignored in order to achieve instant gratification, to push an agenda. Do any of these anti-war people really ever see the whole picture or just theirs? Do they have a reasonable plan for dealing with what will come after we pull the troops out...NO. These women in pink are hate mongers, driven by their disdain for Bush, nothing more.

You''re actually right Rafterman. I remember hearing this line earlier in the war, but somebody in the Bush Administration probably told Bush and Cheney that if the Iraqis actually stand up on their own, that would give us a reason to leave. Leaving Iraq is CLEARLY not a goal of the Bush Administration. That has been made clear when Bush has continuously rejected any form of time-tables and/or benchmarks.

The movie/documentary: "Iraq for Sale", says it all.

xzavierbrown, excuse me but you SUV driving suburban clowns would be the ones angry about higher gas prices. This war was immoral, unjust and unncessary from the beginning. These Code Pink women are true American heroes, at least on par with the poor unfortunatey soldiers sent off by Bush & co for no valid reason (then brought back in body bags or legless, forgotten when no longer useful to the neocon cause).

[rafterman1]

===..."When They Stand Up, We Stand Down"===

Actually, this one is OK and makes sense. But the neocons won''t do anything to light a fire under the Iraqis to get them to "stand up". The one weak attempt by Congress (the Iraqi funding bill with provisions for benchmarks) was vetoed by lil'' Bushie.

[skyk-2009]

now sinking this nation in a level of denial that if we pull our troops that we will have peace is foolish and dangerous..SOMETHING THAT I WOULD NOT PUT UP WITH.

Would you PLEASE tell us what the War in Iraq is all about? Not the present spin because thats a LONG way from the spin that sent our kids off to die in that desert. You Fascist continue to attack anyone and everyone who wants to end this insanity and as a Combat Veteran of Vietnam, I fail to understand you. You paint those who want to end it as being UnPatriotic and UnAmerican while allowing all the lies and deception that created the mess to go. I ask you which is more UNAMERICAN, attacking and continuing to occupy a nation that had NOTHING to do with any attack on us for OIL or finding a better way to fuel our nations needs? Is ONE American Life worth a barrel of oil? I sure hope not!!
