You are avoiding the statements. The fact is that our troops were not properly supplied.

I also know that war is dangerous but at least admit that some of our troops were not properly equipped.




i already have admitted that for a few months "support troops' (not front line troops). were not properly equipped with the improved equipment.

We have "reckless fiscal policies"

America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.

Americans deserve better

Everyone is a target in Iraq. You don't have to be infantry on the front line to die considering that a lot of casualties are from IED's so it doesn't matter if you are front line or support, you will still get killed while driving on the roads.

So basically the front line is everywhere...

If we built 8 inch think steel boxes surrounding our troops and we insulated them with bubble wrap and buried them in a deep hole in the ground to insure absolute protection!

would that make you happy?




Wow, so that is what your arguement has been reduced to?

You are talking about human life here, you know. If there are technological advances that can be implemented to provide better protection to troops and it can be done in some sort of cost-effective manner, then it needs to be done, or it needs to be worked towards more, because losing people is never a good thing. Our military would hold a more secure footing in those countries if it is properly defended.

Anyways, it seems like we're not going to get much further than disagreement on how well equipped the troops actually are, there have been news articles to suggest they haven't, but ultimately anything more is just unsubstantiated discussion like this beautiful quotation above.

Its all pretty irrelevant because I don't see how Obama standing up and stating that he wants to better equip our troops, even if he embellishes on a fact to express that point to a less intelligent audience, is a trait that is not suitable for a commander-in-chief.

Barack Obama


Or the War in Iraq?

Q: Will you pledge that by January 2013, the end of your first term, there will be no US troops in Iraq?

A: "I think it's hard to project four years from now, and I think it would be irresponsible. We don't know what contingency will be out there. I believe that we should have all our troops out by 2013, but I don't want to make promises, not knowing what the situation's going to be three or four years out."



Obama won't win, not "cause he's black" but because he is full of shit.....





Having 0 troops in a country is not the same as not being at war with them, which was the point to which you were responding to.


We have troops in many countries. We're not at war with any of them, and can only be seen to be involved in a war in two of them.
