This is looking more and more like parents in the stands rooting for the wimpy, scrawny kids getting pounded by the other team, saying "Just believe in yourself!" "Try harder!" "You can do it!" Sorry, sometimes it's time to pack up the orange slices and move onto a game you actually can win. When people start using sports analogies to help boost morale in Iraq, we’ve lost.

It's the arrogance of Bush and his unwillingness to admit a mistake that is going to be his undoing. There are so many things he and his administration have been wrong about and they have yet to take responsibility for them. Saying that these issues are in the past ignores the point that they will continue to make mistakes in the future if they cannot learn from their past mistakes.

His manliness reassured me about how sure he was??? And later bush said that Iran could not have the "capacity or knowledge" for making a nuclear bomb. How is he, in all of his manliness, going to enforce the "knowledge" part? Peace Speaking of manliness bush said today,”I’m confident, I believe, I’m optimistic, we’ll succeed…”, in Iraq.

This is a 3 year old argument. They just can't get past the fact that 3 years ago the president (with the support of Congress) went to war in Iraq. They disagreed with the decision and can't get past it. Moving on what do we do. Do we what? Put Saddam back in power to please these folks? These people are mental I say. I don't think it has anything to do with manliness. It's an inability to accept reality, come up with a solution for tomorrow that is positive and act on it. Let history help with decisions. Let results of solutions be a guide. This is a sickness that liberals have across the spectrum. If you just give people fish, people will become dependant on the fish. Conservatives inherently know this. Does this make the Margaret Thatchers and Ronald Reagan's manly? Maybe? But it displays a certain amount of common sense. Common sense is the key phrase here. Message to liberals. Comments like Ruth's above display your inability to operate in the present. The decision to go to war was <strong>3 </strong>years ago. What unselfish thing do we do now moving forward. If you watch the movie "Changing Lanes" with Samuel Jackson and Ben Afleck you can see what I'm talking about. The characters get embroiled in a battle with each other. They fail to see that they can't control each other and are destroying each other. What happened has happened and they learn by the end of the movie that they can only control their own words and actions. They choose to do good with their own words and actions. While simplified a bit, I don't get the Democrats preoccupation with trying to tear down everything as being "illegal", "pre-emptive", "lied", etc. Bush is doing what he thinks is right. At the time Congress approved of the action with many Democrats voting for it. Now we are there and Congress continues to fund the action. We cannot act selfishly and let Iraqi's down. It'd be the worst mistake of the century to do that. We removed their government and need to be competent and not negligent and return their country in a functioning state just like we did with Japan and Germany. Bush is not a micromanager. If you don't like the occupation fine. Try to help the Pentagon reshape it's hundreds of plans that it has already drawn up ready to present to the next president who needs options. For how large the Department of Defense is they have been doing pretty well. They have changed their game plan to better train Iraqi's. They have changed the armoring of vehicles. They are combatting IED's. They are changing daily to deal with the circumstances they are dealt with. Nobody in this world could say they would've planned and done any better because that is all monday morning quarterbacking. Monday morning quarterbacks aren't manly.

Manliness is bad? What kind of demented wimp thinks that? That's like the idiots complaining "Bush is a cowboy!" Yeah, good thing too! Cowboys (and I don't mean the brokeback kind) have lots of good characteristics, like honesty, straightforwardness, prone to not do much until something needs doing, and then do it and not talk it to death. I love it when Europeans complain about cowboys. Cowboy attitudes are not considered a negative to a lot of people in this country. Another culture shock issue. Manliness is bad?
