I contend they were, and that stubbornness put our troops in needless jeopardy and has extended this war well beyond the time it should have taken to do the job he felt needed to be done.
In short, he went cheap for political gains.
Thanks for making my case Sitty.
Yes we should have increased the number of troops years ago. The only things bush did wrong is fire his secratary of defence for popularity and going agensts his own words for popularity. If your right it doesent matter what others think. You do the right thing no matter what the outcome to yourself or any one elts. Thats called integraty. Liberals dont help by politisizing and exagerating this war for their own benifit. You shoult see how astonished my fellow marines are at what they see on CNN. I believe the most commonly used responce is bullshit! The only thing that liberals has accomplished in iraq is to motovate terror to keep on killing. They give a clear message to the terrorists that america is losing. this benifits the liberals by making bush unpopular at the expence of the lives of our troops. A united nation is unbeatable. We need a stubborn nation. This is impossible due to liberal greed!
