How come the Dems don't talk about Iraq anymore? Why was it an issue for them only when we were losing?

Question

Did anyone else get the impression that the Dems had a large investment in our losing that war? And that their annoyance and rage at being considered unpatriotic by the other side was just another head-fake as they knew it was true but they didn't (and don't) have the intellectual honesty to admit it? How did we get to the point where one of our two major parties is patently anti-American and totally unfazed by that fact?

Answer 1

They talk about it on a daily basis.  Where have you been?

Answer 2

get real. the dems outrage over the war had to do with wasted lives. anybody that would expend our most precious resources for a lie, then poorly plan the whole mess is the problem. the neocon spindoctors were the ones doing the head faking.

anybody know that you watch the feet, and ignore the fake except you gullible neocons.

i feels for ya, honey....

Answer 3

It is anti-American to be against and illegal war acted upon a sovereign country that had nothing to do with 9/11? It is anti-American to be against a war that is about protecting oil fields?

So i guess it would be pro-American to be for attacking Cuba, North Korea, China, Burma and Russia since their human rights record is worse than pre-war Iraq. I am guessing that we will not be liberating them anytime soon.

It is pro-American to be for a President Bush's disregard for the Bill of Rights?

It is pro-American to believe the Constitution only applies if works for your point of view?

Answer 4

There's never been a viable political definition of winning or losing that so-called war.  I do believe, however, that over 4,000 American dying is a prety good ongoing definition of loss.  My son's fiancee is shipping out over there this week.  It's an issue for us.  And not a political one.  It's personal.  

Anti-American?  Get a grip.

Answer 5

why are they anti-American, because you do not agree with there policy that makes them anti-american

Answer 6

Good Question Star from me. I noticed it too! Now things are going just as predicted by the good guys, the democrasses don't have a leg to stand on. Now all they can do is try and get the BIGGEST LOSER as president. Bama is the weakest link fo' sure!  lol

Answer 7

I think you're declaring "victory" a little prematurely. The mainstream media (which is overwhelmingly conservative despite the paranoid right's constant propagandizing) has chosen to ignore Iraq.

We haven't stopped talking about it.

It's encouraging to know that the destruction of an entire country, involving the killing of between 600,000 to 1 million civilians is considered "victory" by some. Nothing could have justified that war, even if Saddam did have WMD, which he obviously did not.

Answer 8

they are . the press censors /  ignores a lot of stuff .

Answer 9

I like to travel around the world and it gets tiring having to apologize all the time for the bone headed moves my government has made in Iraq, Vietnam, etc. etc.

I guess that's why I try not to talk about politics when I travel, because eventually I'll have to apologize

Answer 10

Typical Republican. We lost from the start of the Iraq war. We are losing every day. People, money, face, our own country, ect....I know, how bout we stay the course? There never was a course.

Answer 11

Hotlulu this should answer:

U.S. lawmakers have a financial interest in military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, a review of their accounts has revealed.

Members of Congress invested nearly 196 million dollars of their own money in companies that receive hundreds of millions of dollars a day from Pentagon contracts to provide goods and services to U.S. armed forces, say nonpartisan watchdog groups.

Senator John Kerry, the Democrat from Massachusetts who staked his 2004 presidential bid in part on his opposition to the war, tops the list of investors. His holdings in firms with Pentagon contracts of at least five million dollars stood at between 28.9 million dollars and 38.2 million dollars as of Dec. 31, 2006. Kerry sits on the Senate foreign relations panel.
