HA, you think that dims will want to listen to any general if it goes against their agenda? Hell no they wouldn't. All advice is acceptable so long as it fits their agenda.
You must be talking about dim George W Bush. That fits him to a T.
Gee, now why does this remind me of a certain someone & his administration?

You type that with a straight face?? lol
What the general is saying is that an orderly withdrawal is in order. But, you prefer to hear "cut & run" because it only involves two words and an abbreviation.
As many here already know, I'm not at all a fan of Bush and his administration. For some reason though, it seems that the liberals here like to imply such when I post anything negative about their ever faithful fellow demoncraps. What I find really ironic about this is that many times they continue to be unable to defend the original accusation against them. I think that they call that guilt displacement in sociology.Cute, but rather childish.
Weak americans taking shots at a President of the other party while at war.
Thank you.
Let's consider a hypothetical situation: You (and I mean specifically YOU) decide that the president is 100% wrong about the war he started. Do you believe that you should not throw stones at him because we are at war?
Wow....Joe and I are in complete agreement. What a historical moment.
In other words, you think the very rights this country is based on should be suspended during a war.
Presidents don't get to start wars. The Iraq war was a result of an act of Congress. Do a search of the Congressional Record fro the facts, WBMA.

If that's the case, you and others can stop saying that criticizing Bush during a war will demoralize the troops. It won't. If a soldier is so easily demoralized, it's because he wasn't cut out to be a warrior. Some people aren't. He should be proud to know that free speech is still allowed in the country he's supposedly defending.
But, it's NOT the case. Bush took ownership of the war before it even began. Bush rattled the saber for months before the war. He was the one shooting his mouth off about it. He was the fool who pulled that mission accomplished stunt on the aircraft carrier. The buck stops with him. He's the boss. Congress is also to blame, but they did what was politically expedient because they're a bunch of sheep.
You forgot to say in my opinion. You are entitled to that, no mater how convoluted your reasoning may be. LOL

Try to keep up with your own logic, Mikey.
Whoa! Where did you get that from? I was just agreeing that it is ok to be critical of the presidents (as well as congress) in times of war. I said nothing of RIGHTS being suspended.
what general said "orderly withdrawal"?
Beats me. I guess I antidemisinterpretulated something.
Congress trusted the President, and the President had a duty to tell the truth, but he let them and us down.
