Comments on: House Rebukes Bush On Iraq

By 246-182, House Passes Nonbinding Resolution Criticizing Troop Buildup

[processor2]

So, the socialist/marxist/leninists (aka Democrats)that have seized control of congress last November will take a vote today on the surrender of our country.

This resolution is a disaster of historical proportions.

The Democrap Party today will show the world what wimps and whiners that Democrats really are.

Heaven help us.

....

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF LIBERALISM ISN'T A MENTAL DISORDER.....most people I know are a glass is half-full kind of people, whereas liberals see nothing but doom, gloom, and surrender.


UNLIKE YOU LIBERALS,,,,,,I do not advocate putting our tails between our legs and running like the cowardly Dummycrats are proposing.

Yeah congress? They don't have much more power than you do. GW is doing what he thinks is right. He doesn't need your permission.

You should not be here. You are obviously completely ignorant of our system of government. Listen carefully. The PEOPLE elect the senate and house of representatives to do the PEOPLES' will. The constitution gives congress the power to oversee the activities of the president. The 'War Powers Act' gives congress and only congress the power to send our military into a war. That is why Bush started the lies, he manufactured intelligence and lied to congress then asked them for the authority to use our military in Iraq. Congress is also given complete controll over the government's bank account. The president has to ask the PEOPLES' elected representatives if he wants any money. You made two assertions, 1. congress has very little power, and 2. the president doesn't need our permission. Both are exactly opposite of the truth. Next time you want to say something I suggest you first ask your daddy or mommy if it is correct. Of course, there is a very good chance that they are ignorant too.

Sieg Heil to you to. 50% is not I call we the people. Even the LIB polls don't have a clear stance on WITHDRAWL/Surrender. Will your bleeding heart weep for Americans killed by the next attack launched on us from a de-militarized Iraq where Al-Quaida is free to train,plan and execute.Sparky?

The Dems are shooting themselves in the foot. Ultimately the soldiers and then us here at home will pay the price for their shortsightedness.

The War on Terror is not over,and it will not be as long as our Country continues to have Congressmen who do not support the President, and push to devide the people.The other Countries know that the American people are willing to give up much easier then we would have in WW11. A North Veitnam general said in his memories that the U.S. won the Veit Nam conflict but he could see that our people were no longer supporting the President so they ( Nort Veit Nam ) knew they would win if they stuck it out.

"This nonbinding resolution is the first step in an all-too-binding spiral toward defeat in a fight that we cannot afford to lose," he said."

I guess that is the opinion of Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri

In my opinion the first step that started the spiral was when this war was started either
with faulty intelligence or with lies. Hard to win or support a war that started under grounds such as this.

The problem in Iraq is simple:

We've never defined what success is. We don't have a clear vision for where we want Iraq to be; in say, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years down the road.

We won the War. We built up our forces, we invaded the country, we destroyed their military, and captured their leader (who was hanged eventually).

How you can say we didn't win that war, is way beyond me.

But the war is over now.

Now we think the Iraqi should embrace liberal democracy and be just like us. Kind of like what happend post WWII in Germany and Japan.

If that happens at all (unlikely at best), it will be many, many years in the future. This is not Germany or Japan. This is the Middle East. Sunni and Shia have been at war with each other for 1000 years.

That's not going away anytime soon.

And now we are smack in the middle of it.

Unfortunate for the US to say the least.

There really is only one way out. Partition the country (just like the world did in the former Yugoslav region) along Sunni, Shia, and Kurd lines, secure the borders, and start drawing down and handing over to the UN.

They are already doing it themselves in Iraq. We just need to embrace it and help out.

That would be win - win for everybody.

Especially us.

Cheers.

Can I ask what WE THE PEOPLE means to you sparky? WE the PEOPLE elected these people you hate so much BECAUSE we wanted our kids out of Iraq. Now how can you send those kids to die for something you obviously DO NOT believe in? Sieg Heil!!

[skyk-2009]

Just another liberal rant. Accusations are cheap. PROVE IT!

Why don't you fascist PROVE something... anything? ROFLMAO We go from ONE failure to the next CLAIMING we are winning when even a 6 year old can tell we're losing. After 4 years of complete FAILURE you fascist oppose any change of course even though those proposing that change have a long history of defeating Terrorist and Religious Extremist. Never mind you fascist say, victory is right around the corner! ROFLMAO All the while our Military grows weaker and is less equipped, but Victory is right around the corner. I don't know if you understand it but there is just so big a hole you clowns can dig and expect the "liberal's" to get us out. I know you have dug some VERY large one's in the past, you keep pointing to the "Liberals" who dug us out as guidence in this mess so you obviously know it as well. Can I ask why you are willing to listen to ALL those in the past and refuse to listen to the present day ones?
