Democratic Party Leader Says to Troops: You Lost the War

It used to be said that the country will never go to war without the solid backing of the people, but Republicans have inverted that meaning. They stand with their party, even if it means standing against the interests of America.

Oh, and that's a nice bit of baiting there on the last line. Classy.

 

So TJ and basso are you going to call the majority of Americans traitors and unsupporting of the troops?

Seems the majority of Americans agree with Reid's statement.

USA Today poll, March 5:

Which comes closer to your view about the war in Iraq?
Definitely win: 11%.
Probably win: 17%.
Can win, but don't think will win: 20%
Do not think it can win: 46%

CNN poll, March 13:

Do you think the U.S. can win or cannot win the war in Iraq?
Can win: 46%
Cannot win: 46%

Washington Post/ABC News poll, April 16:

Will U.S. win or lose the war?
Lose: 51%
Win: 35%

Rasmussen poll, April 16:

Thirty-three percent (33%) of American voters believe that history will ultimately judge the U.S. mission in Iraq a success. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 50% of Likely Voters believe the mission will be deemed a failure.

No liberal has a desire for this war to be a failure. Reporting facts does not equal desire to fail.

Oh, that's right, logic isn't your strong suit. Neither are facts.

 

well they get a free pass...of course

 

That’s right!

If those dam traitor, libpigs would just shut up all those car bombs would just stop!

Why didn’t we figure that out before?

 

Equating Hitler with our situation today...with anyone, anything...is a typical copout.

Of course, Johnny Cochran used the comparison to Mark Fuhrman to help keep his client out of jail, so maybe it works.

I don't even know if George W. believes his own B.S. Saddam tried to kill his dad, his oil buddies make tons of money from Iraq's reserves, we destroy a country that Halliburton gets paid to rebuild, our country sold Iraq some nasty weapons awhile back (or not so long ago) that were never found (chemical and whatnot).....but he gives the tired old story about bringing freedom to Iraq, while civil liberties and voting irregularities and preemptive wars seem to be OK for our own country.

But TJ, you drank the Kool-Aid, and still you live on. More power to you.

 

By the way, Reid also said this in the story TJ quoted...

 

dont you think it is a tad hypocritical to say this when his response was to this...

have you ever heard the morrisey song "dial a cliche"? good tune.

 

"Somehow back at home, support for the soldiers meant having a five-year-old kindergartener scribble a picture with crayons and send it overseas, or slapping stickers on cars, or lobbying Congress for an extra pad in a helmet. It’s interesting that a soldier on his third or fourth tour should care about a drawing from a five-year-old; or a faded sticker on a car as his friends die around him; or an extra pad in a helmet, as if it will protect him when an IED throws his vehicle 50 feet into the air as his body comes apart and his skin melts to the seat."

dont you have some urineboarding videos to be arousing yourself to right now texx?

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."

-Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)


"This is President Clinton's war, and when he falls flat on his face, that's his problem."

-Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN)


"You can support the troops but not the president"

-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)


"My job as majority leader is be supportive of our troops, try to have input as decisions are made and to look at those decisions after they're made ... not to march in lock step with everything the president decides to do."

-Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)


For us to call this a victory and to commend the President of the United States as the Commander in Chief showing great leadership in Operation Allied Force is a farce"
-Representative Tom Delay (R-TX)

 

like i said right after i was just sort of stiring the pot. but when i said tuck tail and run i was purposely being a little silly and sarcastic.

i dont think he was when he said "then why dont you enlist" (or whatever)

 

Man, how could people not see that we can win with such optimistic leadership...

Bush yesterday...

later...

still later...

Other statements worth relaying...

Jesus, sounds like Jr's drinking again.

 

i hope president bush lives a very long and healthy life (behind bars), but i think we have a new epitaph for his grave - "REMEMBER THE RUG"

 

what a moron.
From Remember the Alamo to Remember the Rug, Texas should disown him. I'll pitch in to help buy him a ranch in Oklahoma or somewhere

 

You're right. I was dead serious.

 

exactly. which is what made it especially cliche.

 

Gee

Look who else agrees with Reid --

Kissinger says military victory not possible in Iraq

The Associated PressPublished: April 1, 2007

TOKYO: Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who helped engineer the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam, said Sunday the problems in Iraq are more complex than that conflict, and military victory is no longer possible.

He also said he sympathizes with the troubles facing U.S. President George W. Bush.

"A 'military victory' in the sense of total control over the whole territory, imposed on the entire population, is not possible"...
