Comments on: Bush Puts Hard Sell On His Iraq Plan

President Reviews Troop Increase In Speech To Soldiers At Fort Benning

Someday soon the word "Bush" will be synonymous with "failure" in the way that the word "Edsel" is today. "Man, I really bushed that exam".

Desperate times call for desperate measures. But after four years of failed measures, it%u2019s time to get OUT!

Poor mr. bush... He sees that brass ring (oil) just within reach, but nobody will cooperate.
He'll just keep throwing troops and money at it and maybe...just maybe...something will happen.
Don't expect any real change to the current situation until Jan 2009 and a new Democratic President.
Sorry Repubs, bush mismanaged you guys completely out of power for the foreseeable future...

santo_marco I believe what shyk means by saying that is...Bush said that, he was quoting Bush

[santo_marco]

Who are you to state he's been assigned by God? Seems that you're the fanatic. To make statemenets in His name is means for condemnation.

DO ANY OF YOU HAVE A BETTER PLAN BESIDES "GET OUT NOW!"

I'd like to hear it...if not, SHUT UP!

A troop build up it is not the wright thing to do.
The president is trying to fix his mess he created by sending additional troops. In my opinion it is doubtful that this will fix the situation. Why put more American lives at risk?
And for what? The violence between religious sekts is an Iraqi problem. They have made no efforts to help the situation in their own country. 21000 more troops won't change that. The only thing that will make them be responsible is to start withdrawing troops and force them to be responsible for their own country.

It doesn't matter to Sir Lies Alot what the American People think or want. He's been assigned by God to lead us to the end times. This losers is a complete FANATIC and needs to be removed from office as soon as possible. This isn't new folks. In my day they called it Vietnamization and the results will be just as bad if not worse. I lost two very good friends when members of the RVN Army turned in the middle of a fight. We can't "Fix" this anymore than we could "FIX" Vietnan.

After WWII, America was looked upon as the bringer of World Peace. This left a tremendous responsibility on the shoulders of the United States. Regardless of the underlying political agenda, there is no doubt that the Iraqi people were oppressed by a pscyhopathic dictator which used mass killings and intimidation to maintain control. How do you "plan" for the chaos that was certain to follow?

Our military, first and foremost, through fighting and community outreach, have had the most positive impact on the common people of Iraq.

Had the roles been reversed; had YOU (who insist on pulling out "NOW"!)been the part of common people of Iraq, you would be praying with every fiber of your being that the US stay until the "ALL NEW" Iraqi military and democracy was strong enough to stand on their own feet.

If Liberman was good enough to be your vice president, why are you dissing him now? Same reasons the Democrats cast aside Algore, Kerry, and Murtha?

[bluestardad]

Senator Lieberman from Connecticut was even mentioned by President Bush. What an honor. Thank you Connecticut for putting someone like Joe Lieberman in Office. You can look to your election with pride. Why don%u2019t the entire state of Connecticut volunteer to go to Iraq and fight. In fact all the states who%u2019s senators and representatives who support the war should have to send their children to the war effort.

Hey

The CBS Military Analyst Mitch Mitchell used to be the drummer for Jimi Hendrix.

I thought he looked framilure.

[bluestardad]

No plan going in and he has none for getting America out. The Iraqi Civil War is not a threat to America. Pull the Troops out!

[luvny-2009]

He knew he'd face a battle...it's a win win for him. If they say NO then he says the Dems are the ones to blame for not letting HIM fix Iraq. If they do go our kids will die (but he could care less) and when it fails because it's just a bandaid then he'll say well I tried and it's the Iraqi's fault they can control their people.
