Contrary to what some assholes think, even liberals hope that things will work out. I've got a theory about all this ridiculous political shenanigans that is going on of late. I think it's all been orchestrated by the powers that be to keep the terrorists from attacking inside the country again. I think the Dems and Repubs got together sometime about four years ago and agreed to the current situation of bickering and unreasonable actions in congress for the purpose of making the Islamic fascist terrorists put a hold on their plans. They know any major attack will unite the country against them like 9-11 did so they can be easily fooled into thinking the Bush administration is in total ruin and leftist Democrats who are weak on defense will gain power making it all the easier for terrorists to strike in the future. As long as terrorists see the country being torn apart from the inside they can just sit and bide their time hoping the country will soon crumble under its own weight. I just can't imagine how Democrat leaders can continue to be so asinine, strident, and unrealistic while the Republicans continue to act more and more spineless. The President seems to be taking everything on the chin like a victim and acting more and more like lame duck. This is what the terrorists want and it certainly is what the Democrats want. The terrorists look at the Democrats and think. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Mr. Bush has happily assumed the role of Democrat and terrorist enemy to further the cause of freedom. He is a truly great man. But, the point is that Democrats just cannot be as anti-American as they seem. Therefore it makes sense for me to conclude it's all a big plan to thwart terrorists and while President Bush plays the guy everybody loves to hate, the Democrats are playing the party everybody loves to hate. So give the Dems some credit if this is the actual case as their playing their appointed role to perfection has helped the country to remain free of terrorists attacks. Wilbur Hubbard |

If Bush's plan is victorious, he'll have been vindicated for his Iraq war adventure, and all the naysaying from the left will have been just so much hot air and BS. Max |

Contrary to what some assholes think, even liberals hope that things will work out. I honestly believe that to be an outright lie. I'm not accusing you of lying, but if liberals have said they hope his plan works, they are lying. A victorious W is the last thing the far left wants. It would vilify everything they've done up to this point. If the insurgency and the civil unrest in Iraq comes to a halt, and the country falls into a period of democratic prosperity and peace, Bush will be hailed as a great President and a world leader cut from the same cloth as Churchill and Eisenhower. You can't honestly expect any rational person to believe the left wants that. Max |

He won't be "vindicated" at all. He'll have gotten lucky with an ill-conceived war and with no plan. We will all be lucky and perhaps, maybe, he will have learned from his mistakes, although I doubt it. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

You can't honestly expect any rational person to believe the left wants that. David Brooks had a thoughtful column on that topic in today's times. He says essentially that there are two defensible positions. If you think the situation in Iraq is inevitably going to deteriorate into permanent sectarian violence, you don't want us in the middle, and you get the troops out as fast as possible. If you think there's a prospect of creating a stable Iraq, then you back staying there until the job is finished. The Dems want to continue criticizing Bush but are unwilling to take responsibility for saying they think the situation is hopeless and we should pull out, so they cast about with their fingers in the air trying to come up with something that sounds plausible. So far they have only persuaded people that they don't know what they're doing. It's not as black and white as that. If it's going to (actually, the Pentagon has already said) that it's basically a civil war, then we need to withdraw as soon as possible without endangering more lives. Immediately withdrawing is not an option and no one of any credibility on either side is calling for that. They are calling for a timetable and requiring the Iraqis to take control of their situation. If it's still possible to fix it, which I and most analysists think, including those in the military, then we'll soon find out. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Total commitment or total withdrawal. There can be nothing in between. murtha he a turd (he he he). he a chicken. he no marine. marines fight. murtha hide B hind desk. yell surrender! todd todd |

This statement contradicts the one immediately below. Immediately withdrawing is not an option and no one of any credibility on either side is calling for that. They are calling for a timetable and requiring the Iraqis to take control of their situation. You first statement implies that a civil war is beyond anyone's control. Then you state that leaving before the Iraqis take control is not an option. Which is it? If it's still possible to fix it, which I and most analysists think, including those in the military, then we'll soon find out. Is that why House Democrats attempted to pass a resolution removing Bush's ability to continue the war? Doesn't sound as if they believed there was a fix in order, now or ever. Max |
