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!

Would you consider the fact that many bright minded people saw how this war was going and what needed to be done early on, but were stifled by Cheney and Bush or completely ignored?
What options would these people have to enact change? Short of armed revolution, their only option was through the election process.
If those in charge had listened to the former Generals and those in the know, Iraq may have been brought under control before the insurgency became so powerful. The re-building of the infrastructure could have progressed at a more rapid pace. It might have been easier to get the Iraqis to stand up to those who wish to see democracy fail.
The window of opportunity was opened for just a short while, and many feel it has slammed shut.
