Reply #125: The overwhelming majority of Americans, [View All]

[MadHound]

A number that is hovering around seventy percent right now, want us out of Iraq ASAP, timeline, no timeline, just get the hell out of there. A large minority, according to a Wa Post poll back in march, are in favor of defunding the war in the manner that I've stated, if I remember right, that number is 48%. Thus, with a little use of the bully pulpit, I think that we could get the majority of Americans behind this.

But polls and public opinion aside, there comes a point in a nation's history that you stop fiddle fart fucking around and do the right thing, like ending the war. Playing politics with people's lives is an abomidable position, one that, sadly, the Dems are taking right now. Meanwhile we're closing in on 4000 dead soldiers, tens of thousands injured, almost 700,000 dead Iraqis and untold devestation to their country. Our economy is in the sewer thanks to this war, and will take at least a generation to recover, if it will.

It is past time to stop playing politics with the lives of innocents and bring this war to an end. The Dems have the ability to do that, it is within their power. Now all they need is a spine.
