Rush fill-in Belling: Liberals "are not used to rooting for American forces at war," "wanted us to lose in Iraq"

Really? This marine says yer full of rush butt pimple, marky.

these wingnuts are just incredible. the "left" in this country did not want our troops to fail in Iraq. we did not want to even go to Iraq. after we did we understood that we could not just leave the country to tear itself apart. so we wanted the troops to suceed. it was the leadership we wanted replaced. the problem was that the bush administration was by their own admission working from a basis of fear. anytime you make decisions with fear as your guideing factor you set yourself up for failure. thats why we on the left were oppesed to bush and company. we wanted them replaced with someone brave and confident. you know, like president Obama.

Wow, that is just an ignorant and inflammatory thing to say.

Only Rush wants America to fail...

I've heard some dumb things before... but man that was ignorant.

That is just plain disgusting! As a civil servant, every day of my working life is in service of my country and my mission is in direct support of our service members. I put myself on the line, what has he done except talk trash?

WHERE IS RUSH LIMBAUGH???? Phasing out, Rush...?

Many on the right have gotten far too comfortable with rooting against America. Smart money is on Limbaugh and his fill-ins continuing to loose. Badly.

I come from a family of veterans. Suggesting that I don't support United States troops in defending our country because of my political beliefs is hateful and wrong. This is just another attack from the right, on people who have the audacity to think, read, and have a different opinion than they do. In other words, liberals.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Same old....same old.....tired talking point

I, like Sarah Plain, will use a basketball analogy:
I didn't want Lebron James to succeed. I'll admit it. I have nothing against him personally, I was just afraid that his having success going right to the NBA from high school would encourage others to forgo school and try to emulate him. His success has been amazing, and it seems like he is still the exception rather than the rule, and I am happy for that. I have nothing against him personally and I wish him continued success.

Similarly, I was afraid of the precedent invading Iraq might set. Once in, I felt for our forces there. The mission changed and became less concrete and the leadership had flawed strategies, if any, that were getting them killed. I didn't want it to be a cakewalk because I feared it would encourage the Bush administration and lead to increased US armed intervention into other countries as well. I still believe if the Iraq conflict had gone more easily we would have invaded Iran years ago. As it is, the lives and money we have spent have tempered our reasoning, I hope, and we will think through our next decision to commit US armed forces to war more carefully.

If that makes me rooter for American "failure", then I will accept that label, but my viewpoint must be viewed through the filter of believing that the role of the United States is not that of an aggressive imperial power. I believe we can still be the envy of the world if we focus on solving our problems, assist those countries who actually ask for our help, and realize that we cannot remake the world in our image through force.

"Sarah Plain" was a typo - but I think I like it.

How lame is a web site whose entire existance is to contradict Fox News and Rush?

where did they dig up this brain dead moron? It looks ok in IRAQ now but you never know when things may change, especially after we leave. I believe invading IRAQ was the wrong thing to do in the first place.

The basis of his 'argument' is plain (for those who have a brain)

While I personally don't think that opposing the war is "un-patriotic", I do think that the way in which some liberal have opposed the war is. It's one thing to simply oppose the war on whatever grounds you may chose, but when people start making remarks that don't support the troop, which many on the left leaning media have done, then that is a completely different story. Our ability to voice our oppinion without being censored to one of the things that make America so great. So even though I disagree with someone who opposes the war and speaks negatively of our troops, I'm proud to live in a country where someone can say those things and not have to fear for their lives....ask someone who lives in Iran about that.

Wow Bush definitely did a great job with the Iraq war...when we came in the people shot at us....when we crushed their souls they wanted us to leave and when we just get out of the city they throw us the going away/don't like the door hit ya on the way out party of a lifetime.....hmm....I think I something is missed...oh yeah a victory/thank you party it must have got canceled in all that love for the U.S........

Also I think that the republicans actually want the troops to fail because they send them into wars we can't win and then want them to die to fight so that we can be liked by the rest of the world.....like the slaves would the plantation owners after slavery.....or Hitler at a Hanukkah party.

Ummmm....World War II?

Weren't many of the people who were isolationists and Nazi sympathizers the wingnuts of that era?

This clown,(BELLING) exhibits all the intellegence and common sense of a dead skunk.

I didn't think that it was possible, but they managed to find someone more nonsenseical and annoying then Rush limbaugh. And frankly I am confused as to what his point is. He was saying that we thought Afganistan was more important then Iraq (which it was), we pulled out of Iraq and re-concentrated our efforts on Afganistan, liberals support the war in Afganistan like we said we did, and somehow that is a bad thing against us.

I for one, would like the argument for fighting in Afghanistan to be articulated. It seems to me that the Soviet Union failure in Afghanistan might give us pause. The difficulty of "winning" in my mind makes our involvement highly questionable.

This guy is an a**. Just heard him say that Obama needed to do more than "moon walk across the stage at the Staples Center."

My conservative friends consider me liberal and my liberal friends consider me conservative, but one thing we all do is support our troops.
