most americans wouldnt be able to find iraq on the map,

should i take their views on foreign policy seriously?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Why is opposing the war an extremist position?

[WalterMitty]

Why is opposing the war an extremist position?

because it is the wrong position.  it would send the wrong message to the terrorists.

furthermore, even if you think weve royally screwed up iraq, shouldnt we attempt to fix it?

you looney tunes just want to pack up and leave and let the place turn into a terrorist playground.

Opposing Bush's warmongering is not extreme at all.

so we should just leave and let a bloody civil war start and let al-queda set up training camps all over the country?

that seems to be the foreign policy position of your boy jed.

LOL.....wow you guys have some absolute nut jobs on this site don't ya? This forum is entertaining just b/c of the assinine rants by the wingnuts if nothing else.  Has anybody bothered to tell the wingnuts that a clear majority of the country thinks the war was a  mistake and that a clear majority do not want to continue the idiotic "stay the cousre" non-strategy?

[they don't love you like i love you]

There already is a civil war. It's the first phases of it. In 1976 we were told there was a "risk" of a civil war starting in Lebanon. Now the Lebanese Civil War is considered to have started in 1975.

20 years from now, historians will see early 2006 as the beginning of the Iraqi Civil War.

WalterMitty is supposed to be one of the "moderate Republicans" on this site. Welcome to the Republican party.

Extreme stupidity - have you ever seen those ads?

[Sam Spade]

Now that Lamont has won, and you've gloated some, will you please leave so the adults can discuss the implications of this.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Extreme stupidity - have you ever seen those ads?

LOL, after Lieberman's bear ad no one should make accusations of stupidity toward Lamont.

Not to mention these website lies. DailyKos was down at times today, and they have 15 servers and spend $7000 a month on hosting. Yeah, it's a pity that Lieberman's $12 million campaign was spending $15 or whatever on hosting a month.

That doesn't tell you whether people thought the war is right or wrong, just that they have lost confidence in Bush to win the war.  That is a very different question, isn't it?

I have no doubt that a majority now oppose the war, but it is not 62% that oppose the war.

I would also suggest that Lamont's position on the war is driven by a philosophical commitment to having a US foreign policy that is timid, whereas the majority of Americans, even most of those currently opposed to the war, do not share that philosophy.  Their opposition to the war is a reaction against how things have gon rather than a true philosophical committment.  Remember, large majorities backed this war when things were going well and they were tearing Saddam's statue down in Baghdad.  The fact that most backed the war when it was going well and most don't now that it is not going well shows quite plainly that the reason most Americans oppose the war is because they are fickle, not because they oppose international intervention.

Lamont actually is hostile to foreign intervention.  It is in this regard that he is clearly differentiated from the mass of the public, and what makes him an extremist.

In addition, Lamont appears to want an immediate pull-out.  You still don't have a majority of the public in favor of this position, and it is a terribly extreme position, one the Democratic Party in Congress has refused to endorse on several occasions.

Thank you for your latest contribution to the hilarity.

More prefer "stay the course" than "pull out immediately".

USA Today/Gallup Poll. July 21-23, 2006. N=1,005 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.
"Here are four different plans the U.S. could follow in dealing with the war in Iraq. Which ONE do you prefer? Withdraw all troops from Iraq immediately. Withdraw all troops by August 2007, that is, in 12 months' time. Withdraw troops, but take as many years to do this as are needed to turn control over to the Iraqis. OR, Send more troops to Iraq." Options rotated.
 
7/21-7/23
19% Withdraw Immediately 
33% Withdraw by August 2007
39% Take as Long as Needed
7%   Send More Troops
2%   Unsure

And more people Disapprove of the Congressional Democrat's handling of Iraq than they do of Bush and the GOP Congress.

Associated Press/Ipsos poll conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs. July 10-12, 2006. N=1,000 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.1

Bush
38% Approve
59% Disapprove

Democrats in Congress
32% Approve
64% Disapprove

Republicans in Congress
36% Approve
61% Disapprove

because it is the wrong position.  it would send the wrong message to the terrorists.

I think it is a very moderate position to state Bush43 was naive in believing Democracy would thrive in a society full of corruption and secretarian/ethnic rifts.  That is one of the main reasons Bush41 didn't go to Baghdad.

furthermore, even if you think weve royally screwed up iraq, shouldnt we attempt to fix it?

1) Iraq was screwed up way before America invaded it.
2) It is naive (and extreme) to believe America is responsible for rebuilding the countries we wage war with.

More than likely, the US will have to shoot its way out of Iraq if the Israeli-Lebanon conflict spreads to Syria and Iran.

[??????????]

Look at the people who support Lamont just on this site alone. BRTD and Tweed are admitted communist supporters. I have little doubt that many of the voters who put Lamont in place support the same filthy leftist policies that BRTD and Tweed support.
