Re: Do the Democrats want to win the war in Iraq?
There's little doubt that Bush handled the war poorly, but that doesn't guarantee that the Dems will win the White House and make gains in the 2008 Congressional elections. They still have a lot to gain from the war going poorly.

Re: Do the Democrats want to win the war in Iraq?
I don't disagree, though they will take some heat for it too. But that political gain is at the expense of inherenting a chaotic fiasco in Iraq with no easy way out, a lose lose proposition. Not a position any person would envy.

Re: Do the Democrats want to win the war in Iraq?
My post must not have been clear. The Dems may get some political gain from Iraq in chaos, but at the expense of the new president inhereting a major fiasco with no easy way out or solution. Not an enviable position at all and I'm not sure Id' think it is worth the temporary political benefit.

Re: Do the Democrats want to win the war in Iraq?
It was not smart and it was wrong. He's a soldier and a good one. Good soldiers follow orders and are loyal to the nth degree so how can anyone expect him, in the position that's he in to not state exactly what Bush wants him to say.
Moveon was wrong...but anyone who thinks his report was independent of the White House and their propaganda is also wrong. However one thing an ad like this shows is that we are a thriving democracy that allows even fuc ked up comments a voice without fear of censor. |

I really do see a similarity between you and the George character on Seinfeld who needed to do the OPPOSITE of whatever his brain told him was right to finally get it right.... |

Re: Do the Democrats want to win the war in Iraq?
I am Democrat, that believes winning in Iraq is just conservative spin and imagination. Winning is not possible. there will never be a democratic ally in Iraq.
We are the nasty invaders. We attacked for no reason. Iraq had nothing to do with 911. Are we fighting Al Quaeda or Iraqi freedom fighters? Recently the media uses the word Al Quaeda, but only last month the word was insurgents rather than Al Quaeda. How come we are still in Irag. I agree that since we invaded, caused all this religious, and political turmoil in Iraq, it is hard to leave with correcting some of the mess we caused. Yet the only real thing that we can do is get out and stop the Right Wing Culture of Lies, Deciet and Inuendos. The chips are going to have fall where they fall. We Americans are no longer the good guys in the world, and that is just an ancient cold war myth and myth from the last century. |
