bolded last sentence.
Now THAT, is shameful.
She's not the only one... they're not listening and they don't care. The dems have been getting angrier and angrier for years... At this point they're just about foaming insane so they're not acting rationally. They're out to crack Republican heads and get power.
The troops that they pretend to defend are telling them to piss off, they're ignoring the generals that say time is on our side if we stay, they're dismissing our foreign allies that depend on us... and eventually they're going to get absolutely pulverized politically if they don't snap out of it.
Time is on the reps side in this if the dems can be delayed in the short term. If the Pentagon can get more funding to hold the line until after the presidential election then there is a good chance that whomever gets elected even if they're a democrat will be responsible about things. But in the short term the dems absolutely have the power to screw the whole war effort up.

I have no problem with any country 'going nuclear'.
What about selling them nuclear technology? I mean, if there's no problem with countries getting nuclear weapons then why not just sell them the weapons? Train their best in US universities and at major US nuclear labs?
It would be a great boon to the US economy and after all you would ensure that as many countries went nuclear as possible... unless we just gave the weapons away...
Would you be ok with the US giving nuclear weapons to all countries? Oh... how about ICBMs! Sure we could install ICBMs in every country around the world!
that they don't have it now is not an argument against them ever getting it.
Right. You can buy that party line if you want, I don't.
No, you do buy the party line... the democrat party line. :lol:
I was led to believe that the Iraq government had something to do with the 9/11 attacks, and/or was pulling the strings for the people who commited them, and that they had "WMD" that were just waiting to be dropped on our doorstep.
Well, Iraq absolutely has something to do with the war on terror.
The doctrine we're operating under is that the way to deal with terrorism is to stop any state that supports international terrorism.
Iraq is part of that plan in that much of the middle east does support international terrorism. the only way to fix that is to transform the region.
As to WMDs, Saddam was regardless in breach of the Cease Fire obligations. He breached those obligations and thus the war was immediately restarted.
many people don't understand the difference between a treaty and a cease fire. A cease fire means the war is NOT over. For example, we are still technically at war with North Korea. The war never ended. We have a cease fire with them
Uh no. I'd prefer to see our soldiers come home ALIVE and UNHARMED. That's certainly "for the soldiers". I don't think their lives should be wasted for no good reason. I don't think they should be USED as fodder for some ridiculous war started by an idiot.
That you ignore their own opinions and wishes in this regard demonstrates the blatant falseness of that statement.
:lol: What is this? You might as well have said "nuuuh uhhhhh!, you're a poopy head and your shoes are ugly!"
Contradiction is not argument... that is a lesson people tend to have learned by 1st grade.
I really don't care about partisanship. I care about our soldiers' safety.
They volunteered and most think we're doing a good thing over there and don't want to be pulled out.
You CANNOT dismiss or ignore that. CANNOT.
K, round up ALL the soldiers, give them ALL the information about the war and their real reasons for being there, and then take a poll of ALL the soldiers.
And if they say go, the dems there after lose the ability to say they're doing any of this for the troops.
But, as far as I know... the military itself is not a democracy.
No, the United States is a democracy.Your house is not. The company you work for is not. The relationship I have when people drive in my car is not. The United States military is not a democracy. The United States is... All of those soldiers cast votes.
No. I do not have a "faction"... whatever that's supposed to mean.
*sigh* If you didn't you'd be politically isolated, overruled, and vastly outnumbered.
Are you politically isolated, overruled, and vastly outnumbered?
No? Then you have a faction even if you don't want to admit to one.
