Incorrect.
Most Americans like justifiable wars which are won (preferably quickly) and with minimal cost (human and material).
No one likes a war that drags on with no end in sight and that where we look like loosers.
Now that we're finally on track (where we should have been 4-5 years ago), the Iraq war shouldn't be as much of an issue come Nov.
Actually, arms manufacturers love war as well as those who finance war. War is money.
re: No one likes war.
You’re so right about that being incorrect. In fact, I can think of a couple of wars right now I would like so much I would even enjoy them. Sorry, but after 30 years of constant pick, pick, pick from Iran, not to mention their overt efforts to kill and injure Americans in Iraq, my ability to turn the other cheek is severely impaired. It would only take one good thrashing of their pitiful regime to shut them up. In fact, I’m thinking the Junior ROTC from one of our local high schools could probably do the job.
I know discretion is the better part of valor, but just once I’d like to see all hell break loose on them when they try one of their patented finger-in-the-eye operations.
The enemy always 'gets a vote'. Any you can always find somebody to tell you that their warnings were ignored when the spit hits the fan.
If GWB pours in the troops in the wake of the successful invasion/takedown (as he probably should have done), then maybe John Kerry wins the 2004 election & pulls us out. Or maybe China moves on Taiwan. It's hard to say what would have happened.
