First of all war supporters, we are NOT a nation at war, not yet anyway. We are however occupying a nation with extreme hostility and prejudice, but that's not a war, war was never declared, not yet anyway.

What it is in Iraq is a disaster, not a war, and you cannot win, or lose a disaster, a disaster just plays itself out, there are only casualties and survivors in a disaster.

I just want to punch the faces of anyone who even utters those ridiculous words, 'win', 'victory', 'success', etc., that's total bullshit propaganda.

4. It would be nice to figure out what Bush wants.
They are even doing a bad job building more war camps. I put the whole thing down to a thing about Bush's ego and wanting to be some one when he had reach 50 and done nothing but have a well known name. This should take any good from that name off the records for sure. It is most likely why his father was crying when he was with Jeb. I do not think this is a war but some type of 'I have the power and I am going to be a hero and use my army' And many of his base think it is HIS army for some odd reason. Some how to many have mis-placed the words the new President and service men say. It is to the Constitution and not to the President. Bush also needs to recall what he said. This is not what our founders wanted. The days of a King having power to rule are gone. Maybe Bush has not heard what happened to all of them from Russia, German, Ottomans, and Hapsburg's etc.

11. Since we keep getting this type I guess they think like this----
All the other fools were wrong and I am right. My God the Hapsburg's plotted on with an 80 year old man who felt he knew what was right for his people also. Turks and Germans did the same. Germans did get rid of their King and did try to move to a Constitution. May have worked if they had not had to pay for WW1 and then along came Hitler. I frankly see Bush and Co. as the same type. An autocrat belief that you are born to rule and always know what is right.

7. They never defined winning ...
Or was it that Saddam was ousted from power? Punished for his crimes? Elections being held? The people being free? The Iraqi government asking us to leave?

Seems like all of those "conditions" have been met, and yet we are still occupying ...

And try not to embolden the freepers and trolls. And for Gawd's sake Don't embolden the unitary fuhrer.
