Why do so many people in America desire failure in Iraq, when success is achievable?

"I Want to Know Your Answer

Exactly! Why are most people against the war? It's the media, all they report are bomb blasts suicide attacks, etc.

We should look at this war from a diffeent perspecive. What does our brave men and women, who seved in Iraq, got to say about the war? We need good news, news about progress and accomplishments.

Nobody wants failure. But neither does anyone want an unwinnable war. That's what they are protesting. And as fot showing all the bad things, it's because the bad things are the story, not a new school or a rebuilt post office. We didn't go there to build schools, we were supposed to have been tripping over WMDs. But now the the purpose of our presence there has been changed and the justifications altered so many times it's no wonder people are fed up since it just goes on and on with only hollow words like "victory" to sustain it. People are getting slaughtered over there, guys are coming back without limbs, horribly maimed and disfigured. And it's just going to keep lasting as long as peasants with RPGs shoot at each other to please Allah and out guys are caught in the crossfire. It's a useless struggle, democracy simply may not belong in all parts of the world. We need to get the hell out of there. Then, like Vietnam, we can say we won.

Dude...this is just like Deal or No Deal....it's time to walk away...Victory isn't in the case you holding....and real men and women are losing life and limb needlessly.

Are you ok with that?? I'm not...

ok buddy, have u been over here, probably not, then dont talk about somethin you know nothing about, this is not achievable, i know, its sad to say, but face it, we cannot stay over here for ever, the people who have power here are corrupt, and anything they do to help us is just to help their agenda as well, if we were to actually accomplish the goal of "eliminating terrorism", and we finally left, the **** would just start right back up again, thats a fact dude, also, did u know that this country has been at war for over a thousand years, probably not, dont get me wrong man, i would love to actually help these people and all, but its not possible, and for anybody whos gonna ask, "well whyd you join if u didnt support the cause" and all that ****, its because i come from a poor family and i have to actually earn my way through life to pay for college and ****, so i dont wanna here any of that stupid crap either

Here is an answer to your rhetorical question...but first mister fact finder where are the facts? I am one of those liberals when first asked to sign a petition to pull out of the war I refused to sign it straight away until I had more facts about our occupation there. We are not winning in Iraq with our efforts to stabilize their "democracy" first we have deployed troops without proper equipment (and that has been the case since 2003) and secondly we have destabilized the Iraq government and have surmounted a civil-war, I am not even going to go into the oil interests because that is where we are winning...get it?
The left does not want to see the U.S fall what we want is for the U.S to be all that it promised as a beacon of democracy. The "weak" you accuse are the educated people who can connect the dots of the past and don't just fall to the mindless dictatorship of this administration...In the future your blind faith in your political party and your thoughtlessness about past events and the present will be written in history as a contribution to the fall of this democracy not the people that try to hold it up to its word..."stop at nothing to succeed" sounds like a dictatorship to me...try reading a history book or two.

Everyone is against this war not cause they are cowards or they are showing signs of weakness, this is an unjust war. It has been proven that the only reason why soldiers are there is not because of terrorism, but because of oil. Why support a war for the wrong reasons? Bush has brainwashed the americans just like how the muslims were brainwashed into thinking the west is evil.

I am totally against this stupid war, but im 100 percent for the soldiers who are there fighting, regardless of what country they are from. I was in the army as well. and if I could, i would fight in this war today, not cause for the country, but because of the men and women who serve there. A lot wont understand that part, but those who were and are military will as well as those who are passionate about all this. For example, if you were to see a family member, brother sister, get beat up..or hurt. you feel it, you want to rush to them, to help them. Thats the feeling im sure a lot of people including myself feel when they hear and see of the casualties which happen everyday and for what?

You say success is achievable? its not. This is a war america will not win. Its a war america doesnt want to win, the longer they are there the more profitable it is for
them.

Just once, I would love to see a government figure fight in any war. If bush were to suit up in full battle gear, then my whole outlook to all this would be altered.

and another thing about the media. dont kid yourself, we are told what we need to hear.

This entire 9/11 has been a scam to begin with! those towers were brought down by the government of american again this was proven! so with all due respect, screw bush, screw this war. pull out, and get everyone out now. but that wont happen, we need the oil.

Remember back in the day when you went to the bar and got really drunk and all of a sudden that ugly fat girl sitting next to you started to look real good? You would say to your friends, man she's hot and they would say, no she isn't man, you're drunk and you'd have a nother drink and say no man, she's cute.

You're still that kid, sitting on the bar stool, drunk and thinking the fat girl named Iraq is hot!

This war should not be ongoing and we should have no desire to win.What exactly are we trying to win?It is a joke sending our people to risk their lives and die.For what???? This story does not warrant a place on the news it should be in the trash.Let Iraq care for itself now that we removed Saddam.We are NOT protecting america we are killing off american citizens.Obviously I am not happy seeing the names added to the new wall they will have to build so we have a new place to cry.A good use of tax dollars.Right????This is solely my feelings sorry if others do not agree.

I am not one of them. I want total victory.

The liberals are doing a great job with mainstream media.

While I agree that the news outlets primarily only discuss the negative aspects of the war while allowing the positive(if there can really be positive in war) to go unreported bringing in the forefathers of the country to back up a claim is not realistic. When America first became a country it was through a war for independence, taxation without representation and the such.
I seriously do not know which side the founding fathers of this country would take, they were not known to go to war for reasons that did not concern the country. America as a whole has not been know up until the last 50 years as a country to go to war lightly, it started with Korea. The wars before then I believe the founding fathers would have supported even fought in if around from WW2 all the way down to the war of 1812, even the Spanish American War.
Was Iraq a threat to America at the time that we invaded? Probably not, although they were in violation of the UN and makes the war justified. The founding fathers went to war when the nations future was at stake as well as our way of life. Now we go to war to police the world, and the founding fathers wouldnt have supported that.

Sure media outlets need to have fair and balanced reporting, but it isnt going to happen.

Win against whom in Iraq? Against Saddam? He is already killed. Now against whom? The supporters of Saddam? Do you want to kill them all and win? Then why we are not doing that and get the 'complete' victory?

How long the people of USA would feel great to support the US Governments to attack other countries and kill thousands of innocent people there?

Please, remember, all human being has some sense of reasoning. Your founder forefathers were also invaders in the American land and founded your country by killing millions of natives. World has changed a lot and still now, you want to continue that trend of your forefathers? Did the civilization not changed anything in your sense except developing the weapons?

Che'Ghandi

Our founding fathers were isolationists, Slappy, and are rolling in their graves at Bush's "democracy from bomb bays" agenda. Noone wanted "failure" in Iraq, but we got it.

Your rambling jingoism shows that to you, war is like a football game. I hate to tell you that is a glaring misconception on your part and anyone who shares your shallow viewpoint needs to go and spend a day in the streets of Baghdad with no armor and having a pretty good chance of being sent home in a bodybag or to one of our wonderful VA hospitals.

Americans and innocent civilians are dying every single day in Iraq, for no real reason other than arrogance. We have no business being there, and because of the quagmire in Iraq, the Bush administration has lost sight of the real issues at hand and completely dropped the ball in terms of catching Osama bin Laden, destroying Al Qeada and making sure the Taliban is ruined and out of business forever.

you would make a great cheerleader - just like your president.

People want one thing more than anything else. They want to be right. People believe the war is unwinable and wrong therefor we should get out. If we lose, they are right. So they want us to lose. The funny thing is, is that the goal of the opposition is not to win by defeating us but to win by holding out until the protesters make us leave. We proved that it work in Vietnam. Once we had a strategy that was working, we pulled out of Vietnam because people were tired. If we pull out again I would say that America will not be able to win at any other occupation in the 50 or 100 years. Think about that, if we pull out now, we will not be able to occupy another country successfully for 50 or 100 years.

i don't think the people desire failure in Iraq. they think, they have achieve what they suppose to do that is to rule out Saddam and free the Iraqi people from Saddam's clutch. It has already been done and it was a victorious. For my part, i think the troops already won the war. I think it's time for them to leave and get back home after long hard's day work.

Unfortunately, I feel that the libs hate George Bush so bad that they hope and pray for defeat in Iraq so that it makes their point on how bad a president he is, or so that they can win the presidential election in 2008.

The libs and the media are using the same tools they used during Vietnam to force the government to make changes that would not allow a victory.

Also, I like the one Lib response so far is basically name calling! Typical liberal defense to any question where they have no good answer, call the other guy a name and put them on the defensive.

I did actually fight in the first gulf war so before you go calling people names and saying they are afraid to go fight, understand who you are talking to.

Its simple, if we succeed in Iraq, then they were all wrong. They whined and complained for nothing. They can no longer demonize Bush as they have been for what seems like forever now. They dont want us to win because it would make them wrong, its as simple as that. I think its really sad that our own people cant support our country and whats worse is they cant even support the people fighting for their freedom to b*tch and moan about the war.

The left wants to see Bush fail, no matter how many soldiers are killed.

tom the plumber

because they are miserable losers themselves,in a great country of winners.

Norm DeGuere

Because they are Lieberal traitors.
