I still don't understand why any of you would rather forfeit than try to win. We aren?t losing, but we aren?t winning. Why quit in a tie.
I thought he spoke well and explained his reasonings quite well.
Please offer up your own life then I will listen to you. This is not chess. These are human lives. WTF is wrong with you people.
If we pull out of Iraq history has shown us through The Killing Fields of Cambodia just what can happen to human life.
The entire war disgust me to no end and I think they need more like 100,000 troops to make the difference the president talked about. To put things in perspective they're over 40,000 police officers just in New York.
Also the comments in this thread that ridicule the president and other no real alternative (which is over 85%) shows why the average IQ in America is around 100. Think of the shear amount of intelligence and military advice from hundreds of highly qualified people that is offered to the president to make his decisions.
Think about the shear amount of that intelligence that was ignored in order to pursue this war....
I would agree that some intel. was ignored, but I would counter that the majority of the intel pointed that Iraq could be a theart to the US. I'm sure after 9-11 the bloodlust in the Military hyped up the intel to the president. One could assume another president when offered the same intel. after 9-11 would not have followed the same path as Bush.
