		<description>Now that more troops are being sent to Iraq I suggest  the whole country gets behind the troops and backs this war to it&#039;s conclusion. This is not the time to question the move you must be 100% behind the troops to show them that they have the support of their fellow countrymen and women.</description>

		<description>I suggest that we just start going medieval on their arse. Agression is the only thing these arabs understand. Also they respect a worthy foe. They don&#039;t respect weakness and indecision. To win this war you must crush the enemy underfoot, you must be prepared to do what the enemy will but with twice the power, twice the speed and with absolutely no mercy and then the enemy will either submit or be wiped out. It was pointless starting this war if you are not prepared to follow it through no matter what the consequences. If you want to be known as the greatest fighting machine on earth then you must prove it otherwise you will be known as the weak ass nobodies who got their asses handed to them by a nation that couldn&#039;t even beat iran or kuwait. If you read this and think about it you know it all makes sense. America will be the biggest laughing stock in the world and your creditabilty will plumet to the lowest levels ever. You failed in vietnam and it looks like your ability to stomach this war is fast fading.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Heâ€™s gonna send those troops in.
Thousands more to their deaths. For nothing.
Comment by DemandTruth â€” December 13, 2006 @ 6:10 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/em&gt;

It&#039;s not for nothing: 



&lt;blockquote&gt;It&#039;s for the billions of dollars in no-bid contracts to the War Profiteers. 

It&#039;s for the oil. 

It&#039;s for the power over people&#039;s lives.

It&#039;s for his legacy.

		<description>The point is the idiot decider-in-chief has done exactly what he wanted to do in Iraq and ONLY what he wanted to do.

Now, if ANYTHING in Iraq was getting just a little bit BETTER every day, there would be reason to prolong this misadventure and I think Democrats would support staying.

But exactly the opposite is true.  We find that not only are things getting WORSE, but they&#039;re getting much worse than we&#039;ve been told by the MSM.
Even with their milestone achievements like the elections, the situation in Iraq is still deteriorating a little bit every day.

No backseat driver - neither the ones screaming for withdrawl nor the ones screaming to &quot;stay the course&quot; really make one bit of difference in REALITY.

Bush ain&#039;t listening to any of us.  

And unless you believe in ESP or mind control by proxy, no amount of wishing or hoping or &quot;whining&quot; on either side of the isle can do anything at all about what&#039;s happening in Iraq.  Or what our so-called &quot;leader&quot; plans to do about it.

So stop blaming Democrats for having the balls to face the truth that we aren&#039;t &quot;winning&quot; and nothing in Iraq is getting &quot;better&quot;.

You idiot trolls are trying to convince me you&#039;re intelligent?  Please!
You are willfully blind and deaf and dumb.  And dumb.</description>

		<description>What Happened?  I was gone...I thought we were winning the war?  Isn&#039;t this the death throes of the insurgency? What about the good stories on Fox News that aren&#039;t being told, like GI&#039;s sharing soccer balls with the youth?  Maybe all this talk is just a mistake.  What is &#039;The Way forward&#039;?  I thought Bush promised to &#039;Stay the Course&#039;?  Where did the NeoCons go?  I&#039;m confused.</description>

		<description>He&#039;s gonna send those troops in.

Thousands more to their deaths.  For nothing.

The only reason he&#039;s waiting is because he knows it won&#039;t go over well to call up the troops right before Christmas.

Gotta wait til after the new year to send more kids to their deaths.

That&#039;s all.</description>

		<description>Besides upholding the constitution (which he has not done), the president&#039;s second duty is to listen to the people, not just a few selected ones.  The election sent a clear message to the president, and the mere thought of increasing troop levels is his arrogant way of saying F#$% you, America!  He must be impeached along with Cheney, Rice, Rove, etc...

The longer we allow him and his fascist comrades to seize this country the worst it will be for all of us.  It is up to us the people.  The democrats in congress are just the other side of the same coin, ruled by the money and not what the people want.</description>

		<description>#238: &lt;em&gt;This site refuses to address Ahmadinejad and his Holocaust forum and so do you!&lt;/em&gt;

So, your conclusion is that people who post at this site support Ahmadinejad?  And that we agree with his (and David Duke&#039;s) ridiculous notion that the Holocaust never happened?  Seriously, dude, I doubt you&#039;ll find much sympathy for that point of view here.</description>

		<description>Occupations are unsustainable and unwinnable no matter how many gazillion troops are thrown into the occupation.

what war mongers refuse to understand about the losing proposition of occupation is that occupiers eventually want to go home, whereas  the occupied aren&#039;t going anywhere - THEY ARE HOME. The occupied know this dynamic and know that they only need to bide their time slowly bleeding the occupiers in order to be rid of the occupiers. Unless occupiers are prepared to inhabit a territory with their native-born (e.g., the European conquest of America), occupiers ALWAYS PACK UP AND GO HOME no matter how many gazillion troops are thrown into the occupation. 

Chief republican loon mccain&#039;s call for more troops, and the chimperor&#039;s grabbing this onto this to further delay withdrawl from Iraq, will have no effect on the outcome, but will kill more people and prolong the suffering.

Serve, my little friend, serve and protect us from a hypothetical war with Iran!</description>

		<description>The patient is hemorrhaging. A few extra pints of blood is not going to save the patient.

There are two options - 500,000 troops to completely pacify the country or withdrawal. The first entails destroying the country but for what? To bring beheaders and assassins to power? Also the first option mobilizes Arab sentiment completely against the US. 500,000 troops may be enough to pacify Iraq but not the whole Middle East.

That leaves the latter option the only viable option - withdrawal.</description>

		<description>Hey Juan C.  So are you also saying the 6,000,000 Jews dead in Holocaust did not happen?  That threats from a county to wipe Israel off the map while approching the end of a nuclear development program is nothing to worry about?

Of course.  You ron this website.  You hate American and everything we do.  You love terrorists and don&#039;t think we should protect ourselves.

Good for you Juan, have some cool-aid
