So I think Bush is realizing that because of the whining from the left, and their own lack of any plan whatsoever, he's got to put some heat on these people before he leaves. Republicans like Hagel won't last anyway in the long run. So who cares?

Put it this way, getting our troops out of Iraq "as fast as possible" is not a solution to the problems. Finding a way to end the chaos, establish security, and root out and destroy terrorist elements is the winning end for the USA here. That's what Bush is working toward. Of course that means Bush wins and looks good. And you guys can't have that, so you root against the USA and whine that we have to get the troops out now and call it a failure. Despite those pleas from you lefties, Bush ain't doing that. Thankfully. So any point you could have made is totally moot.
I'll tell that to (R) Sen Warren. I wouldn't call making the Iraqi's do their jobs running. It might be okay with you to sacrifice U.S. troops needlessly but not me. Put our strength in making them take care of themselves. Your way has already proved to be the way of the loser.

That's exactly what Bush is doing. But it would be nice if the left-wing whining would stop for a change. Bush has to step on these people because your side is pushing for total surrender. I just wonder whether or not we're going to leave them with an inactive terrorists underground that is waiting for us to leave before they resume. Because of the left's abject weakness, this is a distinct possibility. The timetable being sought now and rush to get everyone out, even if the job remains undone will most assuredly make this a reality.

Complete baselss drivel. Also, there is a civil war in Iraq. What exactly are we to surrender? We hold no land, we hold no asset....

Whats a bigger possibilty, that Liberals have created terrorists by taking a position, or that invasion and occupation has created terrorists? Besides, I think it hardly fair you make this a democrat issue when it was Bush Sr who left Iraq prior to what can only be described as a sectarian slaughter....

I also must add....

This is the first Democratic congress/Senate in, what, 12 years? Bush has had the house to himself for 7 years. The dems have had the house for 3 weeks. Yet, already, its the lefts fault that Bush is struggling with Iraq policy?

Give me a break.....

Oh no, I blame Bush for not executing the war properly. But I fault the Democrats for criticising every move made, not offering up anything of value to counter, failing to realize that the President IS the CINC and we don't have Democrats in congress to be a bunch of little mini-CINC's themselves. And the fact that they do everything in their power to effect in the minds of every American that "we lost" before it's over. This type of effort toward national demoralization by the Democrats make me cringe. What a bunch of absolute lemmings I might add.

For your info, I don't like his handling of the war either. But I think it would be a bad idea to just drop everything and quit, like what we hear everyday from Democrats. I don't want the "rubber stamp" either. But if the Democrats cannot come up with anything other than partisan criticism, they are not part of the solution. Bush has admitted mistakes and is changing tactics. Now shut-up and let the people we elected to office do their jobs.

If we leave that region before the job is done, we may have to commit resources in the future to tackle something that may be bigger than what we have to face now. We may have to go back due to the chaos that is likely to happen. The Democrats lack of foresight on this is stunning. Face it now and finish it.

Liberals have not created terrorists, but they sure do help them by demoralizing this nation from having the resolve to win and complete the job. And I don't think you understand what happened after Gulf War 1. There was a cease fire. Bush Sr., due to a UN agreed upon cease fire, could not have done what you propose. Perhaps he should not have agreed to the cease fire before Hussein was deposed. :hmm: Of course the blood would have continued to spill. I think the UN hoped that Hussein would live up to his agreements which he didn't. Are we learning anything from UN agreements, and appeasement in general yet???

it's everyones. and since you obviously don't want to protect it, someone (the U.S.) must do it for everyone, even through the people we are protecting it for wish for us to fail.

Do people even realize how absurd, and probably pretty offensive, this repeated claim actually is?

How is it everyones? Please explain how the oil under the soil of Iraq belongs to everyone. That flies in the face of any kind of property right.

Perhaps if the Democrats in the USA, the socialists in Europe, and the American media would stop reporting every coalition death or American setback with glee, I might believe you. But your refusal to see how these people openly root against us is delusional.
Reporting with glee? Can you show proof or examples of this?
