I guess where I come from 'support' and 'actively harm' are two different things.
I think its sad that you hate GWB so much that you would let others suffer to make him look bad. Its a mind set I can't understand. I'm trying to place myself into that mindset and I can't do it. This country gets to determine policy almost every 2 years (the house/senate are just as important as the president) and while I can understand taking it out on the leaders you don't like there, I can't see it after the votes are cast.

No that would be if you hated the troops, it has nothing to do with support. Supporting the troops means making sure they have what they need, reguardless if you like the policy or not. You can try to get them back home and surrender and thats fine if you think thats a wise policy, but in the mean time they are still there, and while military defeat may bring them home sooner, witholding supplies means there will be more comming home in body bags.
