Reply #11: Dem support [View All]

[pberq]

What about the support (or at least silence) among Democrats for the continuing debacle in Iraq?

Here's what I said on another thread:

To those who say we "have to stay the course" now that we're there, here's my response:

If the U.S. would turn Iraq over to the UN with a definite timetable for withdrawal, we would be doing the best we could given the current chaos. What could be worse than what is happeing there now?

It doesn't take a military genius to understand that the way you win a guerilla war is to break down support from the general population. Whatever small support was left after Abu Graib has got to be gone now after the massacre in Fallujah.

The fact is, Bush and his minions could care less about winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis. They only want to install a puppet regime so they can control the oil. And for Democrats to support this is insane.
