How better to support our troops...
Than to bring them home ALIVE?
Preferably NOW!

I am so sick of hearing the war dogs say we don't support the troops if we speak against the war! THEY are 'supporting the troops' by putting them in harm's way so they can be killed & maimed.
WTF? How is THAT helping our troops? And all for Bushco? For lies? For BULLSHIT!

1. Well, being in harm's way is our military's job
But not letting the war profiteers and empire builders dictate what battles we fight and how long we leave our troops in futile situations is the president's job, and this one has failed miserably at that -- because he's one of them.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

3. AH... but I don't think the Bushwar IS their job.
Yes, there are times & places when/where our military must be placed in harm's way, unfortunately. I just don't think Iraq & possibly Iran are the places and I don't think this is the time. I guess you agree with me on that.

Thanks for the welcome, magellan!

4. We agree
Wars built on lies by madmen isn't what our military is for. I only hope the Dems don't fall for it again with Iran. We need OUT of Iraq, not another of Bush**'s misguided preemptive wars.
