| MainStreetUSA | Posted – 4/27/2008 10:31:52 AM | show profile George W. Bush (who is now running for a 3rd term) has said time and time again that we must stay in Iraq until the mission is complete. The democrats are always asked if they believe our troops can complete the mission. Our troops can absolutely complete the mission. The problem is that every time they complete the mission, George Bush tells them what he really meant. First, the mission was to find the weapons of mass destruction. Well, there were no weapons. Our troops completed the mission. They looked for them and they didn?t find them. But then George Bush told our troops that what he really meant was for them to capture Saddam Hussein. Our troops captured Saddam Hussein. They completed the mission. But then George Bush told them that what he really meant was for our troops to free the Iraqis and he dubbed this Operation Iraqi freedom. Our troops freed the Iraqis. They completed the mission. But then George Bush told them that what he really meant was for our troops to stay for the elections of 2005 to be held. They were held and we saw a lot of purple fingers. They completed the mission. But then George Bush told them that what he really meant was for Saddam to go on trial and get the death penalty. Saddam went on trial and is now dead. Our troops completed the mission. But then George Bush told our military that they didn?t do a good enough job freeing the Iraqi people and what he really meant was for Iraq to become a full, flourishing democracy. And thats what McCain is running on during this campaign to win Bush a 3rd term. This new ?what I really meant? mission is quite extreme in nature and while our military, is 100% capable of doing this, it will probably take 100 years, and McCain has allowed for that saying that 100 years would be just fine with him. But check the record. The President tells our troops to jump 100 feat. They jump 100 feat. Then the President says what he really meant was for our troops to jump 1,000 feet. They jump 1,000 feet. Then the President says what he really meant was for our troops to jump 50,000 feet. They jump 50,000 feet and then it just gets higher and higher. This is the record. Say McBush wins and 100 years later, Iraq is a full, flourishing democracy. Whats the ?really meant? factor then? Are the republicans gonna say that we have to stay until every Iraqi becomes a billionaire and lives in a gigantic mansion? Our troops have completed the mission time and time again. The problem is that every time they complete the mission, the republicans change the objective of the mission. |

| Moderate | Posted – 4/27/2008 12:52:36 PM | show profile Iranian backed Shia Moslem clergyman Moqtada al Sader will kill all the Sunis in in Iraq once the US Military pulls out. The Iraqi Army must be made strong enough to prevent this from happening. If the Democrats are in power during this massacre, they will never be trusted again. |
| MainStreetUSA | Posted – 4/27/2008 1:09:47 PM | show profile Culture of Life Well, first of all... I haven't heard that and I watch Fox News. But lets just say for a minute that your right wing talking points are true? So what? The media has never cared about Iraqi deaths up to this point, why would they care about them after that point? About the point that this doesn't have to do with TV news... I'm suprised to hear that considering Iraq is probably the most important story right now that the networks should be covering, but they're not. |
| chucho | Posted – 4/29/2008 5:20:49 AM | show profile MainSt: You post sounds like the lyrics to a Toby Keith song. We get it -- the troops aren't the problem (except for the few bad apples engaging in psycho-sexual weirdness, at the encouragement and guidance of those snake neo-cons draft dodgers that said it was OK to do all that weird homoerotic stuff and water boarding and letting prisons dogs loose on naked prisoners). But the 40,000 armed military contractors? Screw them. It is not part of my patriotic duty to love them. I don't like them at all. No sympathy for war profiteers. Sorry. |

| PluckyPane | Posted – 4/29/2008 6:04:59 PM | show profile mainstreetusa, your post is interesting because what you are saying is exactly what my b-i-l, a career military man who is serving his 3rd tour in iraq, is saying. he's not whining to come home or crying because it's his job. but he is spewing anger because the commanders can't make up their minds. as a professional marine, he's always done as he's told, but now that he's been promoted through the ranks, he feels he's more in a position to openly question why the mission is undoing what we've done or redoing what we shouldn't do. nothing demoralizes them more than making them run in circles. |
| thevertman | Posted – 4/29/2008 6:29:29 PM | show profile The mission keeps changing and the wonderful part of it, now 70% of American's see what kinda crap war this really was from the start. The NEOCONS who got us into this should be tarred and feathered just the way you "horny for war" crowd says the anti-war protesters should be. Problem is (and no the conservatives won't admit this) but no amount of psychotically delusion unwavering support for this Vietnam like mess is gonna turn it around. |
| chucho | Posted – 4/30/2008 5:56:21 AM | show profile thevertman: worse that tarred and feathered. donald, dick and Condi violated the Geneva conventions for meeting to discuss torture techniques. they're war criminals. (bush was absent at these meetings, but i assume he signed off on this -- but i can only say for certain that the people at that meeting are war criminals fdor violating conventions THE UNITED STATES spearheaded the creation of after WWII). They're criminals, but as Robert McNamara says, when you're on the winning side your war criminals don't get prosecuted. |
