Do you think it's possible to support troops in Iraq, but not support their mission?

My post referred to no one who has posted on this thread. Are you drunk or what? I support our troops and their mission. I believe that every man should confront evil where he finRAB it. Wishing you well from the conservative South. Hunter
 
I belong to no party so I have no allegiances.......Everybody on both sides of the aisle said Saddam had WOMD...Liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats so I don't know how you can say the President misled everyone..

We know Saddam had WOMD because he used them on his own people.....What did he do with them? Because we did not find them does not mean he did not have them.........

The country of Iraq is the size of california with miles of desserts.......WOMD can be the size of a vail of small pox that can fit in your hand...........Do you have any idea how many people a vail of small pox can kill?

Bottom line is we did not find WOMD but neither you or I know if he had them or not.............
 
Fallacy, Complex Question (Tying). That's not true. The mission is beyond our control, but we can support the funding that will ensure that our boys have the best possible chance of surviving. You're trying to tie the money for the mission and the money spent to keep them alive together. It doesn't work that way. Many people don't like certain aspects of their police force, but it doesn't mean they aren't aganist funding for it. The money for the mission and the money for keeping our boys alive are two seperate things, trying to force the disscussion to accept them as one is a fallacy.
 
And I know die hard democrats that support what is going on there.........Your point is? :confused:





It does not take a rocket scientist to figure it out jitobear.....Just read the question on the poll.........
 
It is only your opinion the mission is pointless....Some of us believe that it was the right thing to do in taking out Sadam and having a democracy in Iraq........

The time to protest any war is before it has started..Once that happens everyone should rally around our troops and their mission until it is accomplished........
 
YOU are the one who said that those who oppose this war are all liberal Canadians. I simply pointed out you were wrong. You being wrong - that was my point.



Nor should it take a rocket scientist to figure that there are more than two options. How about this; Don't want them to fail or suceed - just want them home. Got it? (Granted I now think it is too late for that and now that we have created such a mess we need to stick it out and help clean up...)
 
I thoughtone liberal refferd to the statement above it by V.O.R. I'll look for the little dividing line at the bottom in the future. So whats the icon mean? ( the one above the line at the bottom)
 
I think everyone wants them home.....The difference is we on the right want them to fiinish their mission before they come home.......We don't want another Vietnam where millions of people were murdered because the left wingers in this country did not have the stomach to finish the job there........

Again you twist my worRAB...I did not say just Canadians..........
 
Apparently using childish insults is in your opinion the way to avoid answering a hard question without losing face.

I take by your failure to answer the question that you cannot support the troops by supporting the mission, that in fact, by supporting the mission, you VOR, are aganist the troops.
 
What inane logic. I know VOR wishes that it was impossible to do, but its not...
its been done millions and millions of times already. Many Germans did not support Hitler while they were giving the grunts support. If VOR was living in germany in 1939 does VOR believe that he'd blindly support Hitler and the "final solution" because one can't seperate those who fight and those who give the orders?

VOR does that mean that every german who supported their family members or frienRAB who was nothing but a lowly soldier on the battlefield during WWII also had to support Hitler and the "Final Solution"?
If we use your inane thinking VOR, and if you lived in 1939 Germany and you supported your child in the military, then you are just as guilty as Hitler is of mass murder. According to you, there is no seperation between those that follow the orders and the ones who live back in the capital city barking out the orders. If you support the military then you must support every action that they are ordered to follow...

what kind of insane thinking is that?
 
So if it's only people's opinion whether the mission is pointless or not, why shouldn't they be entitled to hold that opinion and the opinion that the troops involved deserve our support for sticking their necks out for us, for good or ill.
 
Then you are abandoning the roots of America.

"America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy" - John Quincy Adams

I'm waiting for your definition.
 
Could it possibly be that they can't be found because they are not there??

I realize that that might be to simple for you and many others to believe, but it just might be a fact. There are none, and Saddam had disarmed like he had been told to do.

Bush's choosen man David Kay went in as the leading expert and head of the US team that was searching for the WMRAB. It was him who had been screaming the loudest about WMD's and Bush used this man as one of the leading experts on Saddams WMD.
Can you imagine what it took for him to come back and have to admit that there are no WMD, and probably the stockpiles he said were there, probably never existed at all?
Then Duelfer (spelling??) came back from inspecting and said there were no WMRAB

Its like no matter what the real truth is people just refuse to see it...
 
Regardless of whether you support the reasons for this war or not, you can't NOT support the troops. They do not get to pick and choose their missions. They are sworn to act in behalf of the nation and they will go and fight their hearts out anywhere we send them whether they agree with it or not.

I support our troops. I wish for their safe and speedy return regardless of how the politics shake out. They are our finest generation of youth if you ask me. I could not be any prouder of them all.
 
Like others, I find it very hard to believe you can support our troops, but also push for the war in Iraq. Seems to me if you cared about something, you wouldn't be putting it in dangerous situations constantly for needless reasons.
 
No. As I first stated:

I pointed out that the bill I used as an example funded the mission, and at the same time funded the troops in many other aspects other than the mission.
Because one does not support the "mission," but still support the troops, to vote against it negates what you said:

In this case it did work that way. Here endeth the lesson.
