Democratic Plan to End Iraq War

The Plan will get US out by 2008..Bush says he will veto it, but what I don't understand is..that if he vetos it then he doesn't get the $100bil that the plan authorizes, instead he would get nothing and have to resubmit the funding request (assuming the veto doesn't get overriden with a 2/3s override vote) so it would pretty much seem like he's gotta go along with it

the dems are doing nothing against the war as I expected. there is a supplement for the war coming up this month and they're to scared to vote against or change it significantly. the republicans are not afraid to vote against or filibuster meaningless non-binding resolutions on the war. yet the senate can't find 41 dems to support a filibuster on the resolution. the house dems have the clear majority and could just vote against the bill or give money to only safely move the troops from Iraq. let bush veto it if he wants.they only thing there planning for this resolution is requirement on troop conditions. this falls right into the republicans accusation of micromanaging the war. the democratic majority has to defund the war or stop pretending it's the anti-war party.

They used the Iraq war to take back Congress, but regardless of their public speeches against it, they know that we can not just cut and run. Thankfully, being a Democrat does not officially make you a liberal.....there are still Democrats walking around with common sense, although I do not think that any of them are members of this forum.

Republicans suck at the war machine. Geeze you'd think "war hawks" would be good at conducting a war...falty intelligence, no greetings as liberators, no wmd....dam you'd think they would have made sure the wmd was there...but yes maybe all an honest mistake. Still they suck..

The Dem plan has all troops out by 03/08, and Bush's plan has everyone out by 08/08. Five months is splitting hairs when you take into account that this thing has lasted for six years. What Logan said is correct, the Democrats used the war to take Congress and now they have to deal with it, which everyone with a brain knew in the first place. (ie - everyone but starry-eyed, idiotic liberals)

We're gonna be over there till the sun burns out. Those animals will never be able to run their own country.

the democrats in congress are definitely not anti-war. the blank checks for the Afghan War, Iraq War, and Patriot act occurred when the dems controlled the senate. the reason I say they support the war is because many of them voted for it and most of them vote to fund it. It's there war too.

The US is leaving in the next few years, either before bush leaves office or shortly after; and Iraq will be under the control of insurgents and militias (or just insurgents), the last Americans there will be evacuated.

seems like these right-wing types are in denial.

I'm right winged, but I still believe that we should pull out and let those animals kill eachother. and then we go in and suck out all the resources we want

Your post was reported as offensive. Another report and you're suspended.

Ok I must have missed the part were we are not allowed to state our beliefs
so I apologize my beliefs don't make everyone happy.
I should probably start reporting all those posts I find 'offensive'.

The part found offensive is not your beliefs. It's referring to a group of people as animals.

Let's see....people walking into building blowing themselves up, killing countless #'s of innocent people, throwing planes into buildings, killing more innocent people, attacking our troops, teaching children how to be suicide bombers...

ok i'm sorry, those 'righteous and respectable human beings'

agreed....


are we children on here or what? someone doesnt like what someone else says so they go tell mommy and daddy...... wahhhhhh i dont understand how people can live a normal life if they are offended that easily.....

[chest6]

Regarding to a group of people as "animals" gets you suspended?

This forum is getting a little too G rated. Come on now. You can talk about steroids but god forbid call someone an "animal"

Last I checked "animal" wasn't a curse word....

Would "mammal" have been better?

[guest589745]

They are animals IMO as well.

[Act of God]

Everybody settle down, his post wasn't even offensive. Just call him out in the thread if you don't like what he said...no need to report posts.

I'd gather that at least 50% of the people who populate this area of the site would be inclined to agree with him, btw.

count me in.........
