I think trashing each other is not productive. I do think that there is a "cut and run " mentality that's degrading to all of us and will bring us back to "loser" status! Bush was wrong going to Iraq-OK! But leaving Iraq as losers will really hurt the US!
Most are not for a cut and run policy, instead they are looking for a plan and discussion in how best to remove our troops so we do not remain part of the problem. Just saying that we'll stay until the job is completed is too vague. This was the purpose of Murtha's proposal and some decided to turn it into a political stunt and name calling.
Trashing each other is not productive, I could not agree more, but the policy is set from the top. Anyone who does not agree with the admin. policy is portrayed as giving aid to the enemy and worse. If you're not with the leader then you must be against him, that is the tone set by Bush and Co.
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.
