At the moment I am doing research on a site called girlymenwanttogiveterroristshugs.org I'm looking for a good op-ed piece there to prove my opinion with facts.

The even funnier thing is how you can support an administration who only really "supports" the troops when they're in iraq. Once they get home, they can apparently go fuck themselves, as far as the current admin is concerned.

Now back to the original topic:
In war there are always several strategy changes, it changes according to what is happening on the ground.
I hope whatever strategy General David Petraeus attempts it works this time,
because we can not afford to lose this war for numerous reasons.
The main one being that we can not have our enemies thinking that the American public can dictate how the military fights its wars.
As for GW's ability to consider the possibility of using neighboring countries to try and help stabilize Iraq he should be applauded instead of being chastised
for it.
Is this not what all you left leaners want? Let us talk with these people!!!! Diplomacy!!!! Hugs before guns!!!!!
And when it occurs it gets spun badly also by you people.
Why is it that the left wants the US to lose this war so badly?
It is not like that there are too many leftys that fight in any war, so it is not like you are losing alot of your voting base, on the contrary republicans are being killed in Iraq, while your base is waitng for that monthly government teat to roll in.

I think the people you think are liberal complain when shit like this happens because they already suggested these ideas and when they did they where pooh-poohed.
It's too bad we can't go back in time, maybe if we could the bush admin, and all the douchebags in congress who voted for the war, could embrace and take credit for realizing that invading iraq was a horribly irresponsible thing to do.
Instead we get people who would rather "not lose" a little while longer because somehow they think that if they "don't lose" long enough they will actually win.
It's not that anyone wants us to lose this war, it's that what is currently going on in iraq is so ridiculously wasteful and ill-conceived that cutting our losses and leaving the place in turmoil seems like a reasonable alternative to staying in there and watching the place crumble. What's going on over there certainly can't be easily confused with anything resembling "winning".
As much as i like the idea that we can stick around an make shit right, we can't. We fucked shit up over there irrevocably. Whatever bullshit saddam was doing is still being done, just by different people. We aren't doing enough good over there to justify all of us that are dying.
