I wasn't aware we had a "war-losing faction" in this community! Will the members of that group please step forward and explain yourselves? I want to hear all about how you, uh, are all about losing wars.

I guess that would be any of us who thinks that things should be done a different way than it is being done now. In other words, anyone who is against further suckling of Haliburton on the public teats, anyone who thinks that money is being scandalously wasted, and anyone who doesn't just plain agree with the current administration.

You know...the same sort of people who lost the Vietnam War.

I don't know about you guys, but I just flat out hate America. I hate freedom, and I hate apple pie. That's the only reason anybody would criticize their government. Many smart-talking eggheads will try to tell you different, but deep down, they really just hate America. Take any situation: is America involved? Then I hope they lose. Our way of life? I want it destroyed, and I want to help that happen. Tax and spend, baby, tax and spend. I'm comin' after your guns, if I don't get your Bible first. And guess what? Mandatory abortions for all American citizens. Hail Satan!

I've always heard that the reason this large group is busy "undermining the war effort" was because they wanted to see America punished for its actions, have a hatred of Bush so intense they want to see our troops killed, or that they really support a political agenda in line with the communists.

I don't like Bush's policy at all, and I don't like seeing people (including soldiers, innocent children and even insurgents) killed because of it.

I don't hate America. I just don't think the leader of America is doing a good job.

But seriously, folks: we had far too much of this during Vietnam, and in the end it paved the way for Communist victory and a free hand for their oppressions and abuses, did it not? Not exactly a triumph of the human spirit, here; more a victory for stupidity and weakness -- and for totalitarianism.

How is it that otherwise intelligent people missed the lesson? I got it at age ten -- where were the rest of you? If a ten-year-old can get it it ain't hard. And yet, the War Loser Faction -- doesn't.

I love this nation and am a Patriot... that is why I want what it best for this nation.
Which is to impeach and arrest the traitors of BushCo. and get the hell out of our illegal actions in Iraq.
Pretty simple.

And Pol Pot was stopped--not by the glorious Americans--but by the 'scum-sucking' Vienamese army. Anyway, we don't hear much about the domino theory anymore since the end of Pol Pot's misrule, especially since the dominoes tumbled uphill (against Communist advancement, so to speak).

We're not necessarily losing. After all, it would be very difficult for them to force us to stop fighting. We could keep troops in Iraq pretty much as long as we want.

However, we are getting farther and farther away from winning.

I really do hate America.

Well, no. I wouldnt go that far.
UG claims to be pro-human... but he is, first and foremost, pro-US. Only AFTER that is he pro-human, and when US interests and human interests are in conflict, he sides blindly with the US, being the unthinking sheep he is.

I'm pro-human above all else. Period.
