do you believe republicans prefer to remain at war, as opposed to win the war, to play the fear card this Nov?

it's hard for me to believe that don rumsfeld and karl rove and denny hastert anf bill frist and john mccain would have kept america on this 'just enough troops to lose' path unless they intended all along to be able to play the 'we're at war', 'you can't count on dems to fight', 'i'm a war president', 'we have to cut taxes for the REALLY wealthy to win this thing' cards in the next several election cycles. republicans believe that they are advantaged at the polls so long as america remains at war. not too much 'at war', but enough 'at war' so that we americans are always obliged to do a gut check ( and completely forget about the need for intelligent problem solving skills, which democrats tend to have at least some of) instead. they think we're idiots, republicans think we're idiots. why else do they think they can win elections with this crap?

    Wow. I hadn't thought of that angle. I thought I had considered every possible angle to this war racket.

    This is brilliant analysis. Now we know why Rummy put in too few troops (and had the generals fired who objected to too few troops). By having too few troops, we will be in perpetual war and the R's will be able to call the D's weak cowards and 51% of the Americans will buy it. And this will continue on for as long as Cheney et al are willing to sacrifice our children's blood for big profits on the R's stock options.

    Your question really can be summed up by saying "would Republicans spill American blood to win elections". As insane as this idea is ; you represent a vast number of people in our country that actually think this way. It is probably more important to ask why the vast number of liberal Democrats keep promoting the Republican party as thieves, liars, cheats and war mongers. Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 911 is a great example of democratic values that echo's within your question.

    Fact: : We were attacked several times during the Clinton Admin USS Cole, Kobar towers in Saudi, 1st World trade center bombing among others you did not hear about and he did very little in the way of action to deter future attacks.

    Fact-911 happens during the bush admin and he ordered the military to depose by force the governments of Afghanistan and Iraq. For what ever reason that was told to us, the fact is that 2 goverments of sovern nations were effeciantly removed for bieng a direct threat to the USA.

    Fact- Bush reforms the intel agencies (CIA, FBI, DIA) of the US government to share info and act on every single terrorism lead.

    This is probaably the single most important move within the administartion. As this was a major failure during the Clinton admin.

    Events in the middle east show that the Governments that support terrorism using money from oil revenues have insisted we get out of Iraq. (Palistine, Syria and Iran are the main instigators). While they swear to erase Isreal from the face of the map and teach children in thier countries what infidel means and how they should be handled.

    So to answer your question in English and not Arabic), the republican party and its chief, our current president are trying to minmize the amount of blood spilled by Americans and innocent people in general, not to win elections but to Viligantly try to stop a problem of terrorisim supported by middle eastern goverments. By the way "these goverments love to hear people speak up about how bad, corrupt and morally wrong our Goverment is, as it really helps thier cause.

    Maybe if the Democrats had another chance or could do it over they might have prevented this from getting ever happening.......I think not !

    No, I believe that it's all about logistics, getting supplies, and equipment to the war zone, makes bush and his rich buddies (and alot of them are democrats ) very rich. How do you think they spend the 500 billion the war is costing us, logistics (ie. Haliburton). The fact that it helped keep the Republicans in power, is only an added bonus for the party. We are being hoodwinked, bamboozled, and tricked every which way but, up.
