They get out there to try and end the war, but say they support our troops?

I don't get it..

Did these prettythangholes not learn anything from Vietnam?

Have you checked to see how the wounded are being treated when they get home?  Maybe once you really understand that then you can understand why people want to end the war.  First you have to put down the RUSHpipe.

What's so hard to understand?

More than half of America see Iraq as a total screwup and they want our troops out.

Twist and turn these fact all you want, bottom line is that this is a democracy. The people are speaking.

war ends and less of our soldiers die.  that too hard for you to understand?

[Yeager]

If only Bush had been a great war leader and appointed real warriors in his cabinet.  as it is Bush is a simpleton cheezeball who has done more to lose the war in Iraq than the insurgency.  Lets get a real leader in there (McCain) and then WIN the damned war.

As it stands I want the changed strategy to have a chance before calling it on this one, plus I think the anti war movement is being led by people I want nothing to do with so theres that too.

And we have a winner!

Lots & lots of these rallies & protests are organized & run by ANSWER, who are hardcore Stalinists. On occasion I drop in on protests as a zombie (though not nearly as well done as http://www.zombietime.com), and almost all have of them have been anti-capitalist messages with a very thin anti-war wrapper. It's even worse at environmental protests.

It's not fair though to say it's all anti-capitalist. Attendees also include:

Anarchists... who hate authority & conformity so much... they all dress the same & are organized enough to arrive at the same time. Their fight against the man includes threatening counter-protesters and cursing at police. Probably the most violent group there... but don't know how to ground fight for **** and are easy victims of a variety of chokes.

Peaceniks... doesn't matter what the conflict. They'll protest it... to the extent I've seen signs that say if somebody is using a human shield, you can't shoot back... at all.

Pro-Hez/Hamas groups... they like to pick fights with the Israeli activists.

The Free Mumia crowd... who thinks its okay to shoot a police officer in the face with a shotgun.

The Anti-Globalization crowd... who tells you mankind & technology are destroying the earth... while talking on a cell phone and driving a 14mpg SUV. Many have signed my petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide.

The Hardcore Hippies... I'm not sure they actually have a message, but they're fun to smoke with. Tends to roll with the Peaceniks.

Counter-Protesters... sometimes hardcore Bush lovers. Very, very loud bullhorns. Some totally lack fear and/or common sense.


there's even more sub-groups, but I don't have the time to list it all Maybe one day...

I think more needs to be done to ban dihydrogen monoxide.

http://www.dhmo.org/

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the unstable radical Hydroxide, the components of which are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

you can not "end the war" by running away, you will end americas involvement in the war but he fighting will go on, there is only one way to "end the war" and that is to make the insurgents stop fighting.

saying you want to pull out the troops will definitely not make the insurgents stop, it will only encourage them to keep on fighting.

Everyone knows you can't support the troops unless you want them to be in harm's way. Wanting the troops to be safe at home is just crazy talk.

What does that have to do with the subject?  Maybe you mean how some of those who oppose the war denigrate our soldiers and their families?

I tend to agree with John9001.   We don't have the option to "end the war".    We can withdraw our troops, but the war will go on as long as the people there have the will and means to fight each other.
