GOP Lost war b4 liberals organized protests
Edited on Sun Mar-25-07 03:27 PM by NYCALIZ
GOP didn't volunteer for this volunteer army in sufficient numbers which led to
a) use of national guard forces to a degree never intended
b) use of mercenaries instead of well trained regular army
c) use of troops without complete training
d) use of troops for excessive number of deployments
e) use of troops without adequate dwelltime between deployments
f) failure of troops supervision leading to events such as abu graibh which worked dramatically against overall mission
g) decline in standards in order to fill 'body counts'
h) war profiteering gone wild whereby Halliburton effectively poisoned our own troops using inadequately treated water and unhealthy foods


Thinking of responses to GOP claims that the liberals made us lose the war in Iraq meme that has started making the rounds

1. There they go again...just like for Viet Nam...
They're blaming Dems & protestesters for THEIR OWN MISTAKES. But God knows THEY are to blame!

Sorry SOBs have done that both times. It really gets me because, here again, they refuse to take responsibility for their own f***ups.

And why are we all not surprised?!

2. We liberals protested the war before it started
They just didn't pay attention.

I find it sadly amusing that they are now comparing Iraq to Vietnam. They scoffed at such comparisons back in the 'Mission Accomplished' days.
