If you think killing our troops over a long period of time with no real valid objective is legitimate, then it is you who isn't "supporting our troops".



We are INCREASING THE TERRORISM by our actions over there.
Do you get that???

You want to talk about "failiure (sic)"?
The fact that our troops are getting killed, we are spending billions, and our actions are INCREASING terrorism is a failure.
The objective is a free Iraq. This aint McDonalds or Burger King. It takes time and it is working. 3 elections is not failure.

And that crap you regurgitate about our presence increasing terrorism. Is that kinda like our presence in Europe during WWII increased the violence? Uh huh. Is that kinda like when you stir up a hornet's nest you might get stung? Uh huh. You're thinking process really amazes me at times. You hear something on CNN and MSNBC and by golly it must be true. I just heard some suit say so. Yeah man.

We had a national election in 2004 and Bush won when all the polls were saying Kerry would win. Tough.

If our objective was "free Iraq", I want my money back.
Since when did the U.S. government get into the business of overthrowing rulers just so we could "free" countries? I thought everybody understood that the whole idea of the CIA overthrowing dictators was a bad one. But I guess if we get the U.S. military to do it, then it's magically okay?

It's a government proven fact.
You don't like it because it puts Bush in a negative light. You're sooo bull-headed that you can't comprehend that attacking people isn't necessarily the right solution.

Our actions ARE INCREASING terrorism.

No. It's not.
The article I quoted talked about CREATING NEW TERRORIST FACTIONS.
Not pissing off the existing ones.
MAKING NEW ONES.

Let em get pissed off. They were pissed off on 09/11 and there is always someone over there pissed off. What are you going to do to stop pissing them off? Nothing. They love to kill, murder, and destroy. Their Quran is a book of hatred, murder, and destruction so what else would you expect them to do. You blame America for the shape the ME is in. I blame the muslims. I'm right.

And thus, the bull-headedness I was talking about.
Alias would rather stick his hand in a hornet's nest just so he can complain about the hornets, rather than try to address the situation in an intelligent way.
He is creating MORE terrorists, but he doesn't care.

THIS is part of the reason the Republicans lost last election.

The terrorists were also happy the republicans lost the election. Why is that?

Because nobody likes the Republicans. Even the terrorists.
Should the American public vote against Democrats just to spite the terrorists?

Again, you're so bull-headed that you want to be contrary just for the sake of being contrary.

How does it feel to be on the side of the terrorists. A lot of us have saying for months that the dems want the terrorists to win and now you have pretty much confirmed it.

The terrorists know that the democrats will not fight them as hard. It's not a matter of the terrorists likeing anyone. If you really think that, then you're too far gone to be reached with common sense. You're on the edge of really making a fool out of yourself on this one so please keep talking.

Hey Alias.
The Islamic terrorists don't like gay marriage either.

No. That's not what I said at all.
I believe in going after the TERRORISTS.
You don't even try to pretend Iraq is about going after terrorists anymore. You say it's about "freeing Iraq", and say that the terrorists find Iraq important.
What you fail to realize is that the U.S. MADE IT an opportunity for them by destabilizing the region. Like many other regions that the U.S. has mucked in, we destabilize the region and open the door for worse things.

You mean like George Bush EXPLICITLY and REPEATEDLY saying that he doesn't care where bin Laden is???
Democrats will fight the TERRORISTS. Not Iraqis that we try to pretend are linked to terrorism.
