Then, I'm thinking of voting for the candidate who can win the war, not lose it. Ron Paul has zero experience winning any wars and apparently has no plan of how to win this one. I want to vote for a winner, not a loser, don't you? McCain has the most experience in fighting wars and the most experience in the U.S. Congress. And McCain is electable - I think he could be a winner.
Hillary Clinton may be an electable candidate and I could vote for her as well. She supports the war and wants to win it - she supports regime change and voted to authorize the President to use force against Saddam Hussain. Bill Clinton thought Iraq had something to do with the war - he bombed Iraq and destroyed a soap factory and killed a camel. > Every candidate "says" they will end the war - like > the Democrats said in 2006. > Maybe so, but I'm going to vote for the experienced warrior. If Duncan Hunter is nominated, I'd vote for him. He is a Vietnam Veteran - he knows what it takes to win a war. Hunter also has the best plan to make the U.S. safe with border security, an essential part of winning the war. > The civilian death toll is close to one million by > independant estimates using change in the death rates > since the US invaded. > According to what I've read, Saddam Hussien caused the death of over two million people. > And to a country that WAS NO THREAT to the US, and > had nothing to do with 9-11. > Maybe so, but most of your congressional leaders voted to oust Saddam by any means neccessary including force. It's too late to change course now and change your mind and try to retreat. Losing the war is not an option. The single most important issue is how to win the war and how to secure America's borders. "The Iraq war resolution passed the Senate with 77 votes in October 2002: WASHINGTON - In a major victory for the White House, the Senate early Friday voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refuses to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions."
