Liberals... tell me what you would do.

The fact of the matter is that we are in Iraq. Liberals, for the most part, want a troop withdrawl ASAP. So lets say that happens and all the troops withdrawl and within a few months the last soldier is out of Iraq.

At that point what would your plan be to fight the war on terror? This war is not something we can ignore whether we are in Iraq or not, so what would your plan be.

and I'm not talking about the Sunni / Shia mess. I'm talking about the fact that the terrorist insurgents have called Iraq the central war for there cause. If we don't fight them there we have to fight them somewhere. They ain't gonna quit.

So again what would your plan be once our soldiers were out of Iraq?

(I am a conservative and I am not asking this as a setup in anyway. I listen and read a lot of politics and I really don't hear liberals express a plan after they want the troops out. So I'm curious as to what you have to say. Thats it.)

Just as you would like to know the liberal plan, I would like to know the "conservative" plan. Do we plan to invade Iran and Syria next? Or do we plan to invade North Korea and eventually go into Darfur? I'm very curious to know the next course of action myself.

Conservatives want victory in Iraq and are willing to stay until that is done. It is the Liberals wanting to pull out but offering no plans after that.

and if thats what it takes to insure the safety of america then yes we should take care of Iran and Syria and N. Korea.

Okay your turn........Your answer for my question.

We had a similar thread like this that got ugly on another fish board. Threads that start out with labels and name-calling rarely turn out well. Just because someone is opposed to the current U.S. involvement in Iraq doesn't make them a liberal. In fact, they could very well be fiscally conservative and opposed to the war as an unwise use of taxpayer dollars.

I'm not seeing a real plan from conservatives in Iraq. Apparently, the new plan is to inject 25,000 more troops into Iraq. I'm not so sure what a 20% increase of troops is going to do besides cost us billions more dollars. President Bush admitted that Iraq has been a failure, and I fail to see how this small of an increase is going to suddenly "turn things around". The majority of Americans want us to pull out of Iraq. Not just the liberals, so stop trying to make this a strictly liberal idea. Less than 40% of Americans back Bush on the war. Pull out. Worry about Americans. Create a health care system in the United States. The cost of the war would more than cover a comprehensive health care system. I forgot who put up that article.


And if we can't even control ourselves in Iraq, how do you expect we do it in Iran which is 4 times bigger than Iraq?


And "drop a nuclear weapon on Iran" isn't going to happen so stop suggesting it as a lot of people on here have been doing lately. It's so hypocritical to say, "hey, you can't have nuclear weapons" and then actually support dropping them on another country.

The reality of the matter is that U.S. politics are dominated by centrist forces, not the far right or far left.

 

[Derpeder]

its funny you think Liberal is name calling.


So lets include the rest of you americans that want to pull out. Liberal or not. What would you do?


And 40% may not back the war but not even close to that think we should just LEAVE NOW. Most on the right feel that would bring more violence to our shores. Yeah we need to change there but Libs don't even give a new plan a shot.

stay the course....lets finish what we started!

A new plan? Bush said he was going to come back to us with a new plan and a new strategy. The extent of that was adding 20-25 thousand more troops. That's not a new strategy for winning the war. He has absolutely no plan or strategy for Iraq, and it's going to be people like me, 20 years old, and the next generation that are going to suffer the effects and consequences of this war.
