This is getting stupid.

26 MPs is a majority??

The situation is static never to change?

"No. We advocate cutting off Military and Financial support to this Terrorist-Harboring Government."

"No. However, I do not believe that cutting off Military and Financial support to the Terrorist-harboring Majority Government in Iraq necessarily "abandons" the alleged "good guys"

Explain in detail how cutting off Military and Financial support would not hurt good guys in Iraq.

"If a Foreign Power was giving Military and Financial support to the Democrats, and then removed that support, would that necessarily "hurt" the Republicans?"

"I do not believe that cutting off Military and Financial support to the Terrorist-harboring Majority Government in Iraq necessarily "abandons" the alleged "good guys". If a Foreign Power was giving Military and Financial support to the Democrats, and then removed that support, would that necessarily "hurt" the Republicans?"

This is a pathetic argument, the democrats and republicans here in the US cannot in any way, shape, or form compare to the good and bad guys in Iraq.

If you can't or won't see how simplistic (to the point of being retarded) that is, this conversation is over.

I do not believe that cutting off support to the Terrorist-Harboring Majority Government of Iraq (and, yes, Virginia -- Al Dawa IS in the Majority Coalition; heck, the Prime Minister of Iraq is from Al Dawa party!) will necessarily hurt their minority political rivals (the alleged "good guys").

Put simply, it is often the case that removing support from one rival, helps the opposing rival (becuase now his opponent has less financial support, etc.)

This may not always be the case, but I think it is at least as likely as your argument that Militarily and Financially supporting the Terrorist-Harboring Majority Government of Iraq somehow helps their minority political rivals!
