text: do you support bush? and if you do why? yes, i support president bush. he is doing a better job than anyone he ran against in either election could ever dream of doing. i think that it is unfair that people blame him for the false intelligence he received before going into iraq. (i only hope that if a democrat ever makes it back to the oval office, that all the "government conspiracy theorists" will give that person's administration the same skepticism.) the fact of our situation now, that we are in iraq, makes the false intelligence obsolete. i support bush in "staying the course." i know that the democrats' hearts are in the right place, but their planned troop redeployment could have devastating effects on our troops. senator george allen (rep. va) made a good point today during the senate vote on the two proposals for troop redeployment when he said it is never good strategy to tell your enemies what you are going to do. that is the whole point, to me, against giving a time line on our troops in iraq. if we broadcast to the insurgents the day we plan to leave, they will know that the day after that,  they can begin destroying all the hard work the coalition forces and iraqis have accomplished since the ousting of saddam. the troops need to stay until the iraqi government feels secure enough in its ability to defend its own people. one good thing could come out of the recent congreesional debates over this issue. hopefully someone within the iraqi government was watching the debates. both sides of both houses of the u.s. congress stressed the importance of the iraqis need to defend themselves. that is the key to troop removal. the people of iraq need to realize that they have the opportunity to create a real democracy. the different sects need to stop squabbling and join together and build a secure iraq together. they need to make it clear to the insurgents that they want to have their country back. it is up to the iraqis to fight back against the terrorist element that is perpetuating the stay of coalition forces.
