You can only support the troops while opposing the war by shutting the hell up out in public. Call the congresscritters and protest that way, but by parading the Bush is a Nazi horsecrap and stuff, they aren't supporting the troops, but are hurting the mission, which means a longer war and more casualties.

These left wing democrats and greens that go out there and protest do not support the troops.

Speaking of a "longer war and more casualties"... By pushing this war so strongly despite the opposition of most of the world, we are now forced to fight while trying to ensure as few Iraqi civilian deaths as possible, in order to avoid fueling the ire of our detractors. This has led to troops with their hands tied, and I think THAT may cause more American casualties. If we had a greater coaliton, biding our time until we had UN approval or some consensus, we wouldn't have to be as ridiculously careful now about our military actions.
