They are forced to do what they did not sign up for. I am supporting them by taking on their biggest enemy, the POTUS. He and his cronies have done more danage to the military than anyone else. I am supporting them by raising awareness that they don't belong there so that we, the people, can say in one voice to our "leadership" that our troops are coming home. We need to be united in our struggle to save the troops. That's how I have been and am serving the troops best interest. Also, more than half the troops in Iraq think we don't belong there. Did you know that? So even from your perspective I am supporting the troops because I am agreeing with them.

The time for dissent has passed? Dubbuyuh, is that you? Are you the decider now? It's the public's job to make sure that our government doesn't run amock, and we're not doing a good enough a job at that. Ther prefered outcome to this is to salvage the impossible mess, so that we stop losing lives. Congress was tricked and misled, and as a result the public has elected a Democratic majority Congress AND House. We've spoken. Bring 'em home and do it as fast as possible.

I need like 3 gallons of "what the hell are you talking about?!" for this one. I'm really certian you don't know what you're talking about any more. You connect Iraq to 9/11, and then when I prove how wrong you are, you talk about how Iraq isn't Greenland? What in god's name are you trying to communicate? What is your point?
Edit: Maybe I should make this more blunt.
To all those brave soldiers here on TFP, did you sign up to protect your country from dangers both foreign and domsetic, or did you sign up to invade a country that could not harm us?
