Do you still support war in Iraq?

Stand-up Philosopher

nobody who is sane supports a war. sane people support troops who have to do what needs to be done and wil do what they can to help them complete that mission and kill all our enemies. nobody carries around "yay war!" signs. I support our warriors and hope that our stupid politicians would get out of the way and let them fight this crusade instead of sitting aroud bagdad waiting to get blown up.

I don't necessarily like it but as long as we have troops over there I will support them. I have no control over stopping it so might as well support them.

No matter what the cut and run libs want you to believe, we ARE doing the right thing. Have there been problems and mistakes along the way? Of course, every Monday morning quarterback knows that.

I did support it, I still support it and I will continue to support it until the job is done. God bless America and especially the men and women of our armed forces.

Yes we have a job to do and we can't stop until it is done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the brave coalition troops fighting against terrorism and protecting the innocent.

Yes I support the war and our brave men and women in uniform and you should too.

Have gun, will travel.

Yes. I was smart enought to understand the term "long haul"

utahclimbergal

yes. i believe that we are not finished over there, and and we can't pull out until we have helped those that are oppressed.

Angel of Man

Yes. Nothing...an No one will change my mind. To all my Liberal friends...If this bothers you...so much to a point that you consider me no longer a Liberal......than fine. You know what. I'm not going to change for you. This is MY belief....I though that's what we are about. I though...that being Liberal was to be open minded. To show love...compassion and understanding.... Yet you shun me away.....and its not right. Not a damn bit right. I will always be a Liberal....I don't need you...or anyone else to tell me so.

This isn't a 3 hour picture show, when all problems are resolved by curtain call, this is the real thing! The first one that blinks, loses.
Unfortunately, the enemy realizes the lack of commitment in the US and they play it for all it's worth, through the liberal media who only report the negative aspects of this war, through the democratic party that would rather partner up with the devil than admit that GWB is right, through the colleges and universities that seem to hire draft dodging faculty who teach nothing constructive.

The fact is, this war must be won, or we will be back to protecting are assets on this side of the ocean, and frankly I see nothing enjoyable about that idea. So wake up nimrod, we're in this for the long haul. no matter who is sitting in the oval office.

Yep.

If you call the present insurgency "war", then of course not.

But of course I support the multi-nation occupying forces in their struggle to make Iraq a safer place. To not support them would be to let the country be reduced to civil war.

haikuhi2002

no, but our family has no choice..our division is going back to iraq in january. its our job.

armywifes3lb

I support our troops!

Why not support the war in Iraq? Our troops are killing those who seek to do us harm on their own turf. My dad has been in Iraq several times as a private security contractor and he is doing a job to ensure Iraqi people get food and medicine by providing protection for convoys. My dad went to the first Gulf War and said we didn't finish the job then and hopes we finish it this time.

I support the troops, not the policy.

YES! Go America!!

As a retired U.S serviceman who was around from the tail end of Nam through the end of Desert Storm, who comes from a family with a tradition of U.S. military service that goes back to the Revolutionary War, and who has a daughter on active duty now, I do not and never have supported this war. I mention all that because I'm tired of people telling me I don't understand what it's like to be in the military and have no idea what our troops are going through, which is the usual response opposing Bush's oil war. This war was poorly conceived, poorly planned, and fordoomed to failure, more, this is not Monday morning quarterbacking, people all over the country, especially in the military, were saying that before we went in. The function of the military is kill people and destroy property, that is all. Any objective that cannot be accomplished by those means is not a valid use of the military. Our original goal was to remove Saddam from office, that we did with no problem. What current goal do we have that can be solved by saturation bombing, invasion by troops, and the systematic destruction of the infra-structure and ability to wage war of the enemy nation? For that matter, where is the enemy nation? Iraqi nationals are killing our troops because they see us as an imperialist foreign power unlawfully occupying their homeland in an attempt to sieze control of their oil supplies. Whether or not that is a valid viewpoint of the situation is irrelevant, it's what they believe, and what will continue to guide their actions. In Viet Nam the enemy made no attempt to wage a war of conquest, they simply made it a war of attrition untill continuing the conflict became politically untenable and the government had to give up. If our leaders have forgotten that, be assured the Iraqis have not. They've got plenty of people, plenty of supplies, and all the time in the world, they just have to wait us out. International approval of the U.S. in general and of Bush in particular are at an all time low; Bush's approval rating now is lower than Clinton's was during the impeachment, and what is anyone doing about it? What, for that matter, have we actually accomplished so far in Iraq that was worth the lives of over 3,000 U.S. servicefolk? How is it supporting our troops not to oppose the needless waste of their lives in a conflict with no clear cut military goal?

I don't support the war in Iraq never have. I do support the war in Afghanistan, remember that on, we were going to get Bin Laden. Somehow we made a left turn and went after non-existent WMD's in Iraq. I said two things then-Georgie wasn't the one to lead us into war with al-Queada and there were no weapons of mass destruction-Saddam was just Sabre rattling. Bush says he doesn't care about Bin Laden now and the Taliban re-surging in strength. We never should have went into Iraq, we should have stayed in Afghanistan and finished the job, Instead we've squandered $300,000,000,000 and 2500+ lives of our best men and women on a war that did not need to be fought. This money and lives would have better used if we would of stayed on task in Afghanistan and stabilized that country and helped our own people in New Orleans and the gulf coast. Instead we are obligated to rebuild two countries, our military is stretched so thin its ready to break. And my prediction that once we finally pull out both countries will immediately descend into total chaos and anarchy. Strangely reminiscent of Vietnam.

I support our troops. I want them to come home safely. That being said, I never supported the war. I didn't support the reasons or the logic behind it, and I honestly can't believe that anyone could still support the war itself (this is DIFFERENT from supporting the troops, by the way.)

That being said, what pisses me off even more is that the US gov't is forcing our soldiers to fight with one hand tied behind their backs. Now that we're there, let's get the stuff we need and get it over with - let's not waste time and lose unnecessary lives by keeping troop levels so low, undercutting funding for armor, etc. Do you know that many troops had to pay for body armor out of their own pockets? Or rummaging through dumps for armor for their Humvees? This is while the government continues to endorse tax breaks for the wealthy, by the way. There is NOT a money problem in this country. There is a WEALTH DISTRIBUTION problem, and that's what's killing our soldiers.

Terrorists are not killing our soldiers. Our own government and its idiocy is killing our soldiers.

Get in with the strength we have, get it done, get out.

rosbif

No.Never did and never will.
It is estimated that anything up to 48000 innocent,NOT military,NOT insurgents,but innocent Iraqi citizens have been killed since the invasion in 2003 and yet the govt tell us that the Iraqi people are better off now than they were.
Figure that out

RayRay

Yes

shaneh235

There is no "war" in Iraq being fought by American troops.
It is a "military action."
The last "declared" war was in 1942.
And NO,I do not and have never supported the neo-Nazi tactics of this administration.

Lovey dovey cuddlekins

i do NOT agree with the war in Iraq because my problem is that our problem is with their government and we Americans and Iraqi people are innocent civilians are risking their lives fighting when we should just let the (Government) do their jobs to bring our troops home instead of this`1/2 year off and tax payers waste their money paying lazy people who make dumb speeches to lead us to a better path

I Seek

It's not about a "war on terror" or "fighting for freedoms". It's really about THIS!...
