Here’s part of an exchange I’ve had with a member over at ProgressiveU:

Are you really that naive and trusting to think that our government and past presidents haven’t deliberately lied and misled the public for their own advantages and agenda that are not for the public good?
Furthermore, you make the accusation that I want the troops to fail and that I should support them fighting.
No. I’m asking you if you want for our soldiers and Iraq to fail. Yes or no? It’s a simple question.
There is a tremendous difference between supporting the troops and supporting an endless occupation.
Who’s making the endless occupation claim? Not George W. Bush, but rather the anti-U.S. and anti-military liberal, Neo-socialist left. Bush has said over and over again that we will only stay as long as necessary and as long as the Iraqi people want us there. It’s the anti-military left who keeps wailing about an endless occupation.
72% of soldiers polled in Iraq believe we should pull out by the end of this year. By your logic, ironically, I support the troops more than you actually support the troops.
Do you really? Are you aware of who conducted that poll? Are you aware of who paid for it? Follow the money. Yeah 72% of the filtered (i.e. those they selected because they gave the pollsters the answers they wanted) soldiers polled believe we should pull out. I, for one, am not impressed. If you were intellectually honest, you wouldn’t be either. BTW, wasn’t that poll retracted?
