You don't stir the "libers" up as much as you expose yourself as a moron.

What f----- intelligence

[bushrocks1]

Would I send my son to this war? You might ask would I send him to World War II? Or Vietnam? Maybe you would distinguish those conflicts and whether you would send your son to fight in them. But that question is misdirected in a very important way: I can't command my son to go to war. He has to make that choice. So the better question would be: would I volunteer to fight in Iraq, WW II, Vietnam? Would I volunteer to fight in any war? Respond if drafted? I don%u2019t know. I'm not equivocating, only addressing that it is a hypothetical. To a hypothetical, I can answer, sure I'd fight. But I have nightmares of battle (from my past life as a Jacobite). So how do I feel toward those who do volunteer? Impressed and maturely knowing that many things go into their decision. But I do strongly believe that a country that can't find those men is doomed. The fact that we can find them is one reason why I say there is no failure in Iraq. Objectively, I also believe it for other reasons. An attempt to establish democracy in the Middle East is a bold, brilliant, noble effort, facing a high chance of failure. That's why I greatly respect and admire those who have made the attempt--the Bush administration. They have been resolute, something I have not seen in my lifetime. They may not succeed, for reasons outside their control or fault: traitors on the home front. Now those traitors have occupied the high ground. Yet... we're still in Iraq; the President hasn%u2019t been impeached. Why?...I'm waiting.

So the source of one of the polls you don't like is sighted as the STATE DEPARTMENT AND INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS.

The reality is that the vast majority of Iraqis not only want us out but believe it's ok to kill us in order to achieve this desire.

I will restate it once more. Where are your facts? These blog sites are opinions, nothing more. When you can come up with the independant EVIDENCE to back up your claims of the press duping us, please let me know.

But you won't cause there isn't any. But there are plenty of opinions.

Keep those rose colored glasses on. If you take them off, you might go into shock. Reality is a bummer when it comes to Iraq.

[missamerica4]

I just love stirring up you libbers.
have fun.

SharnCedar,
You forgot to mention a modicom of intelligence or a passion to service the people honestly

[sharncedar]

The problem is not Bush, it is the imperial presidency, that is, giving the president more power than the constitution allows.


Given that, it is inevitable that an idiot would eventually become president.

We asked for a king, we were given a king. Now we hopefully are learning why we have a constitution and a republic rather than one-man rule.

So the next time you are falling in love with a Bill Clinton or a Hillary Clinton or an Obama, try to think clearly, the president is not your boyfriend, its a serious job for a humble, sober man.

"you are talking about info from a single site"

Obviusly you did not go to the site clestes.
If you did you would see that there are 2 dozen blogger site , from all over Iraq. Plus, there are other sites linked to those.

"It is an insult to my intelligence "

I wouldn't think of it.

Jail Bush and Cheney!

Washington Post

BAGHDAD, Sept. 26 -- A strong majority of Iraqis want U.S.-led military forces to immediately withdraw from the country, saying their swift departure would make Iraq more secure and decrease sectarian violence, according to new polls by the State Department and independent researchers.

Of course that tune changes whenever the pols are in their favor. It's like how they look at the UN. They kick and scream when another country ignores a UN resolution, but ignore them themselves constantly. It's their hypocrisy that makes me the angriest.

"All in where you take the poll Randy... you know that. If you were in Iraq what would you say?"

That's a nice little GOPer trick. The polls don't matter, the media is biased, science is flawed, evolution is just a theory, believe what you want and make reality fit accordingly.

"Who the hell do you think died so you could raise your sons in a free country?
I will tell you who. 3 of my relatives. In your case it was a waste of life.
Pathetic ,selfish people who don't deserve to be free."

Unfortunately when talking to people like Ms. America4 over time, that list of people who don't deserve freedom gets longer and longer and includes veterans, like many of the posters here, who don't agree with them.

[randalds]

Much more likely a FOXNews bot. It has about the same intelligence level of FOX, which is to say none.
