A New Direction In Iraq

Throughout 2006, the Democratic Party promised that it would provide a "New Direction In Iraq." They said they wouldn't cut the funding for the war. They demanded more troops, and they led voters to believe the plan was a plan for success via a new direction. They strongly denied it was a plan to abandon Iraq, but on election night, DNC Chairman Dean revealed to Chris Matthews that there never was a plan. They hadn't even formed a committee to brainstorm it. Since then, they've opposed sending more troops, opposed new plans for success such as The Surge, and they've advocated cutting funds and mandatory withdrawl dates regardless of whether or not Iraq is secure and stable; regardless of Iraqi Freedom. This video is the Democratic Party's New Direction In Iraq.

Yes. Yes you can. You can pack up everything you can carry, and scorch the earth that holds the things you can't. We have 2.6m citizens of this country on active or reserve duty. There are about 298m civilians. That's 1 armed forces resource for just over every 100 civilians. Plenty of people to protect our borders, airlines, ports, airspace, and oversized government from the big, scary terrorists.

I'll take facts over irrational thought and lack of logic any day, and I didn't say you were a Democrat anymore than you said I was a Republican. My point is that those who oppose the war only oppose the Republicans and give the Democrats a free pass even those who saw the intel, who had closed door meetings with intel officials, and then promoted the war.

Oh, but Democrats are all honest? Naive. Your beef's with W, and the war is just your favorite excuse. Welp guess what, he's a lame duck, and gone in 500+days. Republicans are not in control of Congress either. Go rant about Dems who authorized the war, saw the intel and authenticated it, and are still in power...if your real beef is the war and not W. btw, using your standards for legal war, it was illegal to fight Germany and Japan. open ye mind mon ami.

Iraq did not attack us and there were no wmds,which he either knew better,or is too stupid to live since the intel has proven to be questionable at best.He has abused The Patriot act to embarrassement levels. He stands behind such fucktards as Gonzales. He sat in a Florida classroom for 7 minutes after being told about the WT attack,and lied his ass off about the scrambling of fighter jets.They lie.

A war is NOT legal if you lie to get there. Buy whatever drivel you want.

Unless you're still at war with it via a UN authorized war. Then you can bomb em indefinitely, blockade em, starve em, disarm them by any means, and more...as long as you're still at war with em.

Oh, ok, yeah...oil. What's gas cost today? How much more oil's the US getting? Nah. Not buyin the socialist/anti-capitalism ranting. Sorry. Next you're gonna go off on some PNAC cabal conspiracy theory rant. If you really opposed the war, you'd be ranting away at the Democrats. Instead, here you are.

[Suz45]

It is about oil. It was unprovoked . You cannot go back in time and claim that a nation did you harm in such and such a year and occupy it.If that were the cxase England and the USA could legally go to war tomorrow.Or Spain and the USA. Or Mexico...Get it?

Look, I'll debate that forever, and can readily list out hundreds of examples of Iraq attacking the US, breaking the cease-fire agreement, and thus detailing that the US/Iraq were at war, but what's relevent now is a war in Iraq that is not at all against Saddam, or against the Iraqi govt. The war TODAY, is very legal.
