Rommsey, so you indicate that 70% of Americans are anti-military and anti-troops… just because they do not want to stay as long as the President deems necessary in Iraq.

Rommsey, this means that you are saying that this would include a good number of Republicans.

I do not know if you would find many who would agree that 70% of Americans are anti-American and/or are against the troops because they want the troops to get out of Iraq now or in a definitive timetable.

No I don’t indicate that and I am not the least bit surprised at you reaching such and absurd conclusion.

Your poll reference is not to be submitted as substantial meaning to back the will 70% of the entire US population. Once you grasp this simple concept you will realize how stupid your reasoning is.

Yes you understand it correctly, thank you for not asking me to use simple shapes and colors to establish an understanding for you.

Then, by your logic, anyone who is (now or beforehand) against the Iraq War or wanting to withdraw the the troops from Iraq means that they are “anti-mission” and therefore “anti-troops?”

Am I understanding that correctly?

For a point of reference, a poll suggests that 22% want troops withdrawn ASAP, 48% want it done by a timetable, 28% said to stay as long as needed.

I don’t pay much attention to polls because the extrapolation methods are far too unreasonable and the questions posed are formulated to foster specific answer types as opposed to sharing an actual opinion.

Another thing; our people in uniforms are ADULTS. They’re not babies in a schoolyard who have to be rescued from mean old pedophiles lurking in the bushes by their mommies. They volunteered as warriors, live as warriors, and by their oath would die as warriors who put them themselves in harm’s way to save our hides. They don’t need any oh-so compassionate “rescuing” (pulling out) by skittish mommies. Let them get the job done, anti-war MSM be damned

The “been poorly served” line is really a cop-out. An executive has to hire competent, trustworthy people.

Turncoats are viewed as trustworthy, and they usually don’t indicate their traitorous tendencies before the fact.

I stand by my vote and don’t feel the least bit ashamed of it.What were my alternatives? Gore? Kerry? I’d cast the same votes again in a heartbeat.

Ditto that, Sand Dog!

Telling the truth makes him a bad human being? Now I don’t think McClellan is that great either, but its a low blow to call him a bad human. I find fault in that if he felt this way he should have resigned a long time ago. However, I think anyone who serves public has a loyalty to country, not to the men they serve. I’m glad he has come out and exposed the Bush Administrations deceptions and failures, but if he would have done this 7 years ago this country may not be in the mess it is now.

How do you know he’s telling the truth? According to him he stood at the podium for years and lied, so who is to say that he’s not doing it again? His book fits very neatly into the lib narrative about the Bush administration, so of course it’s all true. Never mind the fact the man didn’t raise any objections to anything WHILE THERE, never mind the fact he waits until he has a Soros-backed book coming out BEFORE saying anything at all. Isn’t that just very convenient? A loyalty to country? Please…since when do libs believe that? McClellan is a moron if he thinks most people buy that “loyalty to truth” argument…where was that loyalty when you were a willing participant in the deception you supposedly saw first-hand, Scott? The libs will lap it up and ignore these questions…what did Obama say? It confirmed everything people already knew? What an arrogant !%$?!!!! Tell you what, Obama…I’d take 4 more years of Bush then I would 4 years of your appeasing, Marxist, terrorist-loving “change we can believe in”.

It’s all a set-up and the libs have already taken the bait! Robert Wexler is demanding McClellan testify under oath – EXACTLY what Bush wants! He can take the stand and then deny every single lie in his book, (hey, there’s no law against a book of lies is there?) – the VERY SAME LIES THE LEFT HAS BEEN SPEWING AT BUSH ALL THESE YEARS. What could be better? All the proof that Bush has attempted to offer to refute the left is totally ignored by MSM so now he gets his ‘day in court’ to rub it right in their faces.

Call me an optimist …

For all the nutjobs out there thinking they can support the troops but not the mission I will gladly remind you of the following logic.

Since the troops have a mission to complete and supporting the troops automatically means supporting them succeeding at their objectives you support the mission. If you want to pick and choose your definition then you do not support the troops despite screaming, bluffing and fooling otherwise.

Then, by your logic, anyone who is (now or beforehand) against the Iraq War or wanting to withdraw the the troops from Iraq means that they are “anti-mission” and therefore “anti-troops?”

If you don’t support the troops’ mission, what exactly is it about them that you do support?

There are many people who respect and appreciate what our men and women in uniform are doing serving their country in the all-volunteer armed forces. They pray for the families when they lose a loved one. They want to help those who have been injured and come back home to life forever changed. They support the troops and love their country. But these same individuals may not support the reasons why we are still involved in the Iraq War.

Where I believe people place the responsibility is with the President, who gives the instructions, and thus determines the goals… finding WMD, removing a ruthless dictator, war against Islamic Fascism, etc.

Again, the latest poll I saw said that 67% of Americans disapprove of the way that the President is handing the War.

McClellan is a sellout… and his buyer is George Soros.

Imagine that.
