The REAL Way to Support the Troops
...is to stop playing political games with the funding for their mission. The real way is to acknowledge there are differences between Congress and the Executive and work those out without artificial timestables and declaring the war is "lost".
The real way is to find a solution that first protects the troops, second the country, and third the stability of Iraq.
The real way is to never, ever telegraph to your enemies timestables and keep your battles internal. And that way is not politically expedient to the Dems who would sell out the soul of this country to consolidate power. Shame.

The war _was_ won, actually.
We just lost the occupation.
I bet you never noticed that the timetable was non-binding.
And to suggest that Dems would sell out the sould of this country to consolidate power - that is SO ironic considering that the Republicans have done exactlythat with their obscene disregard for our Constitution and Bill of rights:
1. "free speech zones"
2. the elimination of habeas corpus
3. the abuse of the term enemy combatants
4. not adhering to the FICA act
5. the outing of a CIA officer for political purposes
6. pres ignoring Congress with signing statements
and so on, and so on, and so on.
What the hell are we fighting for over there?
There were "free speech zones" at the WTO protests, under Clinton.
You mean a person with a Dole t-shirt at a Clinton rally would get arrested?
Didn't say that, just said that there were "free speech zones" during Clinton's tenure.
An obnoxious, disruptive person at a Clinton rally wearing a Dole t-shirt would probably get arrested, yes.
Heck, if they were at a Hillary rally they'd probably get very roughly escorted away (she purportedly has a goon squad to deal with hecklers).
And the free speech zones at the WTO in Seattle in (was that?) '99 worked REAL well.
As to the rest....we differ in opinion.
