POTW: Who's defunding the war?

The Democrats need to send a clean bill to the White House that will fund the troops , then fight it out over the deadline , it is as simple as that , but they know they can't get a timeline passed alone.

This has to be an open ended war, IMO. The Dems don't accept that.

yup wars are ended when they are won

not won when they are ended

You really enjoy using that frase don't you? I can see why.

becuase it's logic that can't be debated

It is very good to remind some people.

The thing that kills me is that all the Dems yell "Vietnam, Vietnam"

well after we left in Vietnam MILLIONS were killed. Our presence, while a difficult task, was the only thing that kept it from happening.

Same thing is going on in Iraq, same thing will happen if we leave. The Dem's don't want to address that little problem. Leaving will leave a much worse footprint on the world for the US then staying until it's completed.

Getting out now is the easy thing to do for America, but it will hurt Iraq. That kind of behaivor after we've commited to them is the kind of "America is better then the world so we can do what suits us" attidute that I depise.

All WMD aside Iraq was taken out of Tyranny and has a real chance to live free, that's a noble enough cause to stay IMO

My opinion also.

Me makes three.

BTW, if anyone comes up with a Poll question they want to see send me a PM, I'd love to hear ideas

Staying on topic, my choice would be. How many Iraqi's will die if we leave?

good one, but do numbers go that high?

They didn't have problems keeping up with the likes of Stalin, pol pot or hitler.

How about which risk will be greatest if we leave, something like Sunni terrorists, Iran-influenced Shia, or no large risk at all?

Oh yeah, and you can't forget the Kurds.

I'm don't think that's a matter of opinion, the Sunni and Kurds are minorities and the Shia were oppressed under Saddam, some of the Shia sects seek revenge.

It can be a matter of opinion. Maybe I didn't explain enough?

Shia: Will the Shia be influenced by Iran too much, causing them to be the greatest threat to America?

Sunni: Will they open the gates for al-Quaeda to come in more, causing them to be the greatest threat to America?

Kurds: Will their fight for independence cause a mess with Turkey, causing them to be the greatest threat to stability?

Or none of these situations would be that bad for America.

Something like that.

OIC, I thought you meant who would be the greatest risk to innocent life their

another good idea
