Republicans are now in the nation building business?

[The Backlash Cometh]

When did this happen? I can understand Lieberman saying that we have to stay until the job is done because that man has all kinds of hidden agendas and conflicts of interest involving Israel, but how can the rest of the Republicans support this when George Bush is doing something that he blatantly campaign AGAINST in 2000?

Iraq is a QUAGMIRE, like Vietnam. To suggest otherwise is to put the lives of tens of thousands of young men and women in danger.

I propose that the reason why Bush will hang on by his fingernails, is because of the oil. He won't leave Iraq until there are daily protest marches down Pennsylvania Avenue. Until there are photographs of coffins. If the American people relax now after his SOTU speech, it will cost American lives and we'll still have to high-tail it out of Iraq.

You know the big difference between Bush and Clinton? Only half the nation hated Clinton. But with Bush, not just half the nation hate him, but at least 80% of the world. You can't stay a superpower for long like that without sustained war and people dying.
