Libs have guilty consciences and want the troops home because it makes them face their own weak-kneed character traits?

I think you are right and it makes sense, but I never would have come to that conclusion in a million years.

Working in DC I see a lot of uniformed military about. I also see a lot of the code pinkos floating here and there. When you look at someone in uniform standing next to one of these idiots it is obvious. Watch the body language of those anti-war dopes when next to a soldier when they are by themselves and don't have the support of group think. It is like watching a flower shrivel in the summer heat. You can see it all over their face and their posture. To be sure they are feeling bad but they don't understand why -- they just want the government to make it stop so they can feel good about themselves.

that want to bring the troops out of Iraq constitute the majority of the electorate

do I fall into the majority of electorate?

Ask any military family -- do you want your family member home. Yes of course. I want them to come home with success --not in defeat.

It is not a homogeneous majority. You can't stop at the question -- Do you want the troops home from Iraq?

Under what circumstances is the key.

Those who want them home even if ... it means defeat, civil war in Iraq, AQ strengthen and emboldened back into attacking on US soil.

Sort of asking someone do you want a million dollars -- 100% yes. Will you kill you child for a million dollars? Will you bomb a school full of children for a million? Will you rob a bank for a million?

The devil is always in the details.

I think many liberals think the Iraq war should've never happened. Many of them also think that Bin Laden is not in Iraq. They can't understand why we are in Iraq when we could have possibly found Bin Laden by now, if only we weren't so distracted. It seems like you are searching for any possible reason you can think of to denigrate "lefties".

I will grant you that a person can have a legitimate opinion on the Iraq war, but the Bin Laden thing is a silly talking point.
We had just the number of troops and intelligence units in Afghanistan as our military thought we needed. He gave us the slip and went to ground in Pakistan where we cannot get him unless we violate their territory.

There is no evidence at all that Iraq war or not anything would have happened differently in Afghanistan.

Shouldn't the press be asking Obama his timetable for withdrawing all our troops from Afghanistan? MoveOn doesn't see that as being any different than Iraq right?

I have a father with missing body pieces missing from combat who wants the troops home now. He has 4 brother, 3 of which saw combat, who want the troops home now. Between them, are several purple hearts and medals of honor (including 2 bronze stars)

Obama's SOOO good, he can take BOTH sides of the intractable Abortion Question! Brilliant! Make that man the President! Just don't think about his statements, you might have too may "distracting" questions.

that libs say they want abortion to be "safe, legal, and rare", which translates into "unlimited abortion on demand at any time for any reason".
