How ironic you would post the above, and to comment on your statement...without an ounce of effort from the democrats to help fight terrorists. They have put roadblocks every step of the way, and with the help of the Bush hating media, you all have done a fine job supporting our troops. It just amazes me how 99% of our troops have such a different view of the situation in Iraq. Maybe if the Bush haters were to spend some time there, a different view would be taken. It reminds me so much of Viet Nam, what a shame our dissenters are.
Oh I forgot to mention, have a nice Memorial Day, I'm sure our troops would like to convey the same to all liberals who denounce them, especially Rosie O, after insinuating they are terrorists.

Now I understand why you NeoCons are so frustrated about 70% of the people disapproving of Bush. You think the rest of us want to tolerate terrorists, hate our troops, and have a personal vendetta against Bush. Wrong, wrong and wrong. The problem is Bush has obviously chosen the wrong path to fight terrorists. The result is we are mired down in the internal politics of Iraq, chasing Taliban in Afghanistan, and generally acting like we are empire builders fighting a war conquer two nations. That is a way to make a lot of otherwise peaceful people pick up their gun to defend their homeland, their family, or their religious sect.
This is a different kind of war. We don't face the enemy in pitch battles with tanks screaming across the battlefield. That may have been the case in Gulf War I, but this is totally different. We need a strategy that will reduce the number of terrorists, not fester more Muslims to take up the battle. How to accomplish this is a classic military/diplomatic problem - it is the same problem we faced in Vietnam.
I am sure the troops would love nothing better this Memorial Day than to come home knowing that a powerful military campaign can never stop an enemy that fights with impunity in and among the innocent civilians. It is a problem faced since Alexander the Great 's army was cut down in Afghanistan. We need a Commander in Chief that can outwit al Qaeda, not out-shoot them.

You seem to have me confused with a European. I love America, and I wholly support an open debate of ideas to help thwart and extinguish the terrorists trying to slaughter us, but again, please list the ideas the Bush bashers have put forth. Here is one example of the democrats response to some of the methods our intel operatives have been engaging in; Our Patriot Act has been blasted by the democrats since day one, what have they done to change it in the last 6 months of their in charge approach? Let me answer that for you, NOTHING! The lefts only purpose for our survival as a nation has been to throw a wrench in the spokes of the Bush administration at every opportunity. They have done nothing, and have contributed nothing, and you can boldly call that intelligent leadership?
I agree, we need to outsmart the enemy, no doubt about it, and they are beating us at our own game by letting us eat each other alive, remember, divide and conquer, the oldest of war tactics, and they are winning. The left has Bush hating mouths like the major media sources and the Rosie O'donalds making ridiculous claims, and there are those in huge numbers that believe that vile, and when there is a rotten apple in the barrel, it will rot the rest of the apples. The only thing I advocate is that the left become a part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Is Iraq a mistake? As it looks now, it is, but to only be lam-blasted at every turn is not helping our nation fight the terrorists. Their only strategy has been, "we need to leave", and then what? Where's the rest of the puzzle? As an American, I would like to think our leaders have some sort of plan. Do plans always work? Absolutely not, but to plan and fail is tremendously greater than failing to plan, there is at least recourse and change of direction.
