vergiss said:Oy vey. Winning would be preferable because no one wants the Coalition to lose.
Those who were at that protest certainly do., those who want us to pull out now certainly want us to.
Duh. I support the victory, just not the war.
:rofl do you realize how illogical that is, what a falicious statement it is. Well just what do you want us to win if not the war?
Do you honestly think I'm sitting here thinking "Go terrorists, go!"? :lol: Keep dreaming.
I would hope not but if you do not support our victory in this war...................
On the other hand, I don't want our troops to be slaughtered in a worst-case scenario,
No one does, do you really think those that support the war do so because they want our soldiers slaughtered. We want this to end a quickly as possible. The way to do that is to kill as many of the enemy as possible else convince them it is not worth it for them to continue because we WILL fight them unil we ARE victorious. Those who present this pull out now, the war is illegal, the war is about Bush and his buddies, and show weakness to our enemies make our task that much more difficult and that much longer endanger our troops more than would otherwise be necessary.
How can you say you support the troops if you don't care how many of them needlessly die when victory isn't going to happen and retreat is the best course of action?
Do you believe that to be the case, that the enemy is bound to win and defeat us?
Remember Vietnam? Generally, you're supposed to learn from past mistakes.
I would hope you would. We gave up, the people lost the will to fight along with our leaders, those in congress, losing thier will to win. Our enemy saw and held out until we withdrew and handed victory to them. And what happened after we withdrew, exactly what those who warned against allow North Vietnam to win said would happen. Millions were murdered and millions have since lived under oppression.
I note we are easily maintaining our position and you're just repeating the same crap in the remote hope of finding a weakness.
Not with nonsensicle statements like "I support victory but not the war".
