These are the ones that Support our Troops

Published on January 29, 2006 By Dr Guy In Politics

We here it every day. "we support the troops, not the war.". And I think some of them are sincere. And we try to believe that the Mainstream Media is of a like mind. We try, but then for those of us how think that, we are just fooled again. Fooled by the MSM we try to excuse at every opportunity.

I DON'T SUPPORT our troops. This is a particularly difficult opinion to have, especially if you are the kind of person who likes to put bumper stickers on his car. Supporting the troops is a position that even Calvin is unwilling to urinate on

The rest is just standard ignorant diatribe. It is linked so read it at your will.

In one respect, he is much better than his masters. He is honest. Small consolation tho for caring people.

On the Blog that had no responses that just means there is no argument with the facts I presented.

Timetables are part of any effective planning. Open ended policies are NOT used by successful enterprises. Setting a timetable provides the ability for us to plan and gives the Iraqi government a time period so they can taking care of their affairs. In 6-12 months we will have been in Iraq 3-4 years. That is MORE then enough time for them to take charge of their own affairs!

And you call Bush arrogant? Don't flatter yourself too much. An unreplied article can also mean that people are just not interested in what you had to say or are just plain bored or your commentaries.

Giving time tables can also induce people to rush to get things done and in turn doing things too fast can cause problems that could have been seen had it been done in a proper speed. Time tables only cause people to do actions in a rush and that is not good. things should be do properly not in a rush. Everyone knows that doing things in a rush is usually a bad thing, look at eating in a rush, running to fast in a marathon, speeding at the last minute in traffic. Need I say more? You, of all people, having military and business experience should know better. But what can I expect from someone who wants to only justify an argument to blame it on Bush and nothing else. Your a sad person if you ask me.

I'm not advocating that we spit on returning veterans like they did after the Vietnam War, but we shouldn't be celebrating people for doing something we don't think was a good idea. All I'm asking is that we give our returning soldiers what they need: hospitals, pensions, mental health and a safe, immediate return. But, please, no parades. This is a reasonable comment. BUT I cannot agree with this:But blaming the president is a little too easy. The truth is that people who pull triggers are ultimately responsible, whether they're following orders or not. Most of the troops are just kids who are trained to follow orders--country, right or wrong. It's like saying COnfederate kids were responsible for the immorality of its politicians.

Capital, I concur.

I know of folks that support our troops in various ways, but disagree with the war on various levels. By their lack of public actions they make it clear they understand how fragile and important moral can be with of our troops.

Right on!

I know that you can support the troops, but not the war, since I supported the troops in Operation Just Cause (Panama), but thought the whole thing was nothing but showboating. I mean, we already had thousands of troops in Panama, why stage an "invasion".

Good thinking!

For anyone not interested in how Bush has misspent their tax dollars in rebuilding Iraq, I guess they will ignore the results of Inspector General. How all you conservatives opposed to being taxed can accept what Bush is doing with you taxes is beyond me

Or that all Confederate soldiers owned and supported slavery?

COL, COL, COL... you're not thinking this through enough. This is not a Bush cover-up. If Bush was really trying to cover this up, would he have allowed his Inspector General to go public with such a tale?

I don't post on COL Gene's posts any more because it's not making a dent in his incredibly thick noggin. Nothing I say or do can dissuade him from his premises, no matter how far-fetched or tenuous his crackpot ideas. Everything's about Bush, blame Bush, and no one can convince him otherwise.

I'll just let his articles sink to the bottom, thank you very much.

It is not about a Bush cover up it is about how Bush abused his power to appoint people that stole and wasted your tax dollars. This was the$ 20 Billion that Kerry voted for and then against. He voted FOR it when Iraq was to repay the $20 Billion to rebuild. He voted against the Bush insistence that the American tax payer pay the Bill. This report shows how Bush wasted OUR money. You can BS all you want about how I bash Bush. The things this President has done deserve every word. I have asked JoeUsers that say they support Bush to document just what he has done in almost 6 years that has helped the majority of Americans. EVERY specific policy he has proposed has support of about 1/3 of Americans. His overall rating per FOX (fair and balanced) was 41%. Clinton at this time in his second term was a bit over 60%. Bush is a looser with much more to come. Just wait! Anyone that supports him and his policies are as worthless as Bush!

Yes, conservatives had a picnic over "I did vote for it and then against it," oblivious to the "nuance" that "for" meant repealing the tax cuts in order to support the war appropriation.

No, it just means people are tired of hearing the SOS from you.

I agree, but you're need for leadership to keep a promise is to static, making it unreasonable under the circumstances. After leadership sets a time line, you're failing to consider the unknown variables that are incident driven, that affect other down stream time lines which might require leadership to dynamically respond in a completely different direction temporarily.

A side question COL; As I run my business interests, am I affecting my overall time line with a dynamic incident response to your statment?

I guess that is why he pops over here since I have already stopped posting on his.
