I think we are in a war that we or anyone else just can not win.<br />Never again should we be so naive as to get involved with a winless war.Maybe we can buy our way to victory in Afghanistan, but I think that Obama is right and we should not be sending anymore troops to their slaughter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-19906484878166468492009-11-24T06:59:15.494-06:002009-11-24T06:59:15.494-06:00Nix,

I do think the VI day baloney was an attempt to give Bush credit and set up a scenario, in which, the <a rel="nofollow">warmongering pimps and prostitutes</a> could blame Obama for "losing" Iraq, if things got worse over there again (which I think they will).<br /><br />As to your Chicken Hawk question that is an excellent point and I am crafting an detailed response, but the short answer would be if you support war and sending men to their possible deaths without every having served or after having received deferments then you are a Chicken Hawk.Grung_e_Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894879088472559055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-83374916954003010362009-11-23T23:06:57.244-06:002009-11-23T23:06:57.244-06:00Gene,

I didn't go with this whole "V-I" thing either, since the war was certainly not over. But the whole chickenhawk meme seems to a bit overplayed now that there's a Democrat administration. Are Dems who support the war in Afghanistan but don't serve chickenhawks too?Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419569519734310093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-10056826038709199822009-11-23T19:26:47.984-06:002009-11-23T19:26:47.984-06:00Word!Word!Serving Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984393452206039835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293433952655399056.post-64291584701014525542009-11-23T17:15:17.506-06:002009-11-23T17:15:17.506-06:00What these jokers will not admit is that our force...What these jokers will not admit is that our forces won the war in Iraq in about ten days. It's the freaking occupation that we're losing. The right is to blame for not committing the resources and tax hikes necessary to pay for a successful occupation. Even in occupations these guys are chicken hawk cowards as you call them Gene.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.com
