That phrase is misused. Staying the course is actually not a bad idea.

The plan has been to train the Iraqis and place more and more Iraqi units into operation and in control of Iraq so we can eventually leave. That's the plan.

The Dems have a better idea?

Hey, at least North Korea can safely develop longer range delivery mechanisms for their nukes now.  Oh happy days, the Democrats finally won.

 

Yeah, the Bush administration and a Republican controlled legislature really did a great job in keeping North Korea in check.

How is occupying Iraq making this country safer against terrorism?

I agree, but what could anyone do to stop NK from getting nukes, short of war?

The Dems actually trusted NK and gave them what they needed to help them build a nuke. At least Bush called them for what they are.

Bush was correct and is correct on his stance with NK, imo. We should never reward them for their threats and we should never trust them.

Sounds like you want a list of names. Save yourself some work: make a list of people in Iraq that aren't terrorists. Get back to us.

The Feyadeen aren't  a subnational group and therefore aren't terrorists by the US government's definition.

Those who are outraged over the fact that the U.S. government is fighting the war in Iraq with borrowed money evidently have not studies their history.

EVERY war our nation has engaged in has been financed with foreign loans and/or massive deficit spending.  

Also, the amount we are spending to rebuild Iraq cannot begin to compare, in real value, to the amount we spent to rebuild Japan, or Western Europe under the Marshall Plan.

The U.S. has always spent vast quantities of tax dollars rebuilding allied and enemy nations after a modern war.  Why would you expect the Iraqi War to be any different?

They just want to use the money for free handouts to those too lazy to get a job and support their own families LOL

More Republican mantra from a repfanboi.
But giving the money to those in need seems better than giving tax breaks to the 1% uppercrust and the corporations.
Google yourself some facts on the handful of American corps making 10's of billions during the war................ If Moms give their children for the phoney war then the damn corps can suffer less profits...........

Or donating one of his own family to the front lines.
