As a Vietnam vet, I was both saddened and disgusted at the way in which Dems politicized the war.

Dems “said” they supported the troops, but you can’t support the troops without supporting their MISSION.

Senator Barack Obama voted to cut off spending for the troops. Hell, he wouldn’t even join the Senate vote to condemn the despicable “General Betray Us” ad from MoveOn.

Our men and women in uniform performed magnificently under extreme conditions.

They are all heroes.

Maybe you haven’t checked in with the home base in awhile. It’s important that you check in frequently, as positions change almost daily now.

And trust me: you're not part of any "we" that matters in this discussion.

You need to really update your defeatist talking points. Sorry, but no longer is "1 out of 6" Iraqis dead or a refugee. Even Angelina Jolie has stated there has been remarkable progress with the refugees coming back to their towns and to Baghdad. Not that you would know that, since you know no one in the US military who has been to Iraq- or any Iraqis.

After all, in WWII we had 407,000 dead Americans, and gained NOTHING other than the opportunity to spend hundreds of billions rebuilding the Europe we bombed to dust. What a waste that war was!!

Iranian influence: way up

Basic services: below pre-war levels

Violence: at 2004 levels

Dead: 4000 Americans, 200,000 Iraqis atleast

Cost: 10 billion per month

Afghanistan: worse than ever

This war is a disaster, surge or no surge.

You dummies are so obviously spotted, at least TRY and camouflage your inane claims as not coming directly from Daily Kos talking points.

Hopefully soon you will be heading back over to your Democratic Underground buddies explaining how the evil Republicans banned you from their site..

Ron Paul, Chuck Hagel, Oak Leaf from Polipundit, Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak, and all the other loser "conservatives" who bailed on victory two years ago...

I despise them more than the libs-

at least the libs we always know don't care about the standing of the country, but even a Paleocon should.

Know how I knew when we won the war? Not only during the last two years when EVERY WEEK I compile a report for the Joint Chiefs on the situation in Iraq.

I knew we won the war when there were ZERO Code Pink or anti-war idiots at the July 4 Washington DC parade.

All day long, not a single Obama or anti-war type. In the previous years there had always been at least 50 of them in different parts of the parade route chanting and demonstrating.

This year- not one...

You are just doing badly today, aren't you? Have you considered hitting the reset button and starting from zero?

You can believe what you want but a fact is a fact, I have been a card carrying Republican for the last 20+ years, and as you know I drive a Volkswagen. What does the VW have to do with anything? Don’t be surprised that I changed my affiliation to an Independent. That is a fact. I am not a democrat! There has been a lot more than just the last 3 or 4 weeks, I guess that was just the tipping point. If you think I am a “troll” as I saw in a past post then you are sorely mistaken. There is a reason McCain and Obama are not winning by larger margins and it is due to both parties not being able to win their base and the independent vote. By the way, the person who says I am a troll, how do you explain the significant number of Republicans (I believe I read some where it was 3% or something over the last few years) switching over to independents? Are we all “trolls”? That is a good way to win us back…

the numbers of displaced or killed had the Messiah and the other defeatists gotten their way in their opposition to the surge.

No wonder Chuckie-Boy Hagel does not want to discuss the surge any longer.

A: To expand the empire and steal Iraq's resources.

Or if you don't like the liberal version then try the factual record and read the bipartisan Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public law 107-243, 116 Stat. 1497-1502). If you are really feeling your oats you should read up on how your own elected officials have lied to you about the war to expand THEIR power base.

I suggest sticking to the first answer if it will help you sleep easier at night.

Then I went to the "About Us" link and looked that one over. Why does it not surprise me that this kind of organization lists people like "Matt Dillon-actor" as one of their board members. And, lo and behold, George Soros is an emeritus director.

CNN? Puhleeze. Your side doesn't give credence to Fox, our side expects nothing but lib talking points from CNN.

Fail.
