Poll Support is growing for sending more troops to Iraq

For three weeks the nation has been battered by the worst news from Iraq since the war began 13 months ago. But despite the shootings, bombings, sieges, ambushes, kidnappings and combat deaths, most Americans still support the war. And an increasing number think it should be stepped up.

Boy if only someone Only Had a decent Theory about How an overwhelming force of troops Increases the chance of success of any military operation......

People like Shinseki and McCain were calling for more troops from the very beginning but Rumsfeld ignored them.

Maybe if Bush had told Powell about the plan to invade Iraq before showing it to Prince Bandar the terrible he could have heard about the Powell doctrine.

Kerry will support it .....before he votes against it.

Well, as Woodward has noted, Powell did know about the plan but not the decision to follow through with the plan. Bandar knew the decision was made before Powell did.

We need to send more to make it safer for the ones we have there now.

Think about it. 130,000 troops (many are support the main force at that) making 25,000,000 behave.

You're implying all 25,000,000 are not law-abiding, peace-loving citizens.

I'm fed up with our boys dying for people who hate us.

You'd be ok to letting Iraq fall into a probable long-lasting civil war that might result in a Shiite-led country with a hatred of the U.S. on par with that of Ayatollah Khomeini? A country that could easily become a haven for Al Qaeda to grow immensely?

Well if that were the case we wouldn't have to worry about collateral damage when we blow the sh!t out of them

Red Dawn, watch the movie 'Red Dawn.' Realize we are the russians and the "insurgents" are the highschool students.

Well-said, Komrade. Did you make this up yourself, or read it on some fanatical left-wing blog?

:roll:

The comparisons are obvious and have been made for a year now.

It's not obvious enough for Red Dawn apparently.

JohnGalt, stop wasting everyone's time by not posting anything. Or is this an aol "me too" thing?

Conjur:

That will probably happen anyway. How many Zebras have you converted to checks?

There should be a sign at the Iraq border: "Ye Who Enter Here Abandon All Hope".

One of the big failings (and, admittedly, one of the strong suits) is Americans think ANYTHING can be done.

Well, for this job, we need magic and all we've got is bullets.

What's apparently obvious is that you don't know my position regarding this war!

 

[Infohawk]

Red Dawn,

My bad. What's your position? Sometimes I miss sarcasm.
