Who is to determine what is "right?" If an informed majority determines that a certain course of action is "right," then what qualifies a single man to make a different decision?
Because he is our President, and according to our Constitution, he gets to call the shots.
How does he know that something is "right" when the rest of America disagrees with him?
Because he has the big picture and a vision for the future. He has a panel of expert advisers AND a military of about 2.5 million professionals in arms led by competent generals who understand more about the mission and the consequences of its failure than you or I will ever know.
The rest of America disagrees with him? The rest of America against one guy? Do you really need to exaggerate in order to make yourself believe your own non-sense?
Tens of millions support our President, troops, and our national security strategy.
Over time, the public has looked at the situation in Iraq and determined that continuing to fight is not a viable option.
I'll tell you what: I'll take the opinion of our National Security Council and our military leaders over the naive opinion of my know-it-all next door neighbor and Bill Mahr anyday.
Look, apparently, nothing I say will convince you to see things differently. I'm not surprised. That's usually the case with liberals. You insist on digging in your heals, if for no other reason, than just to spite Republicans/Libertarians and your country.
Honestly, I don't know how you people sleep at night.
Do the troops and your country a huge favor, and just try to keep the pie-hole shut with the self-defeating remarks about how this is all a failure. The ONLY people you are aiding is our enemies. They get a huge hard-on every time someone like you pontifiactes publicly. That is their strategy for victory, which you obviously haven't figured out, and will never understand. It's the same propaganda campaign that yielded the results of Vietnam and Somalia. They are students of American history. Perhaps you should be too: Send an unending supply of video clips of carnage, threats, and GI body bags to the biased American media who gladly broadcasts it to the world, and pretty soon you have a nation of doves whose stomach has been turned to the point that they put enough pressure on the ELECTED politicians to surrender. Remember the November 2006 election?
You may as well be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them in Iraq with a megaphone shouting at the troops that we're all losers and need to surrender. It has the EXACT same effect.
Remove your head from your rectum and join the home team. We need you.
That's all I have to say on the subject to you. If you don't understand by now, you never will. I've determined that insanity equals spending countless hours of my life on flightinfo.com debating dimwits who will never get it.
