Do you favor cutting the funding for the Iraq war

[Silent Hunter]

In response to that, the US isn't imposing a government like theirs. The Iraqi system is a parliamentary one, for a start. It is allowing the Iraqis to have their own democratic government.

And don't forget who is causing most of this suffering.

Actually my ideal position is that we don't cut off funding.  We fund it just enough to ship every Bush/Lieberman supporter to Iraq along with a single rifle and five bullets.

That's what, just shy of 100 million Americans? Probably about 60 million when you discount those who are too young and too old. We'd win in no time.

There is no too young or too old.  If you supported them or the war time to get shipped out.

I'm talking about those who under 16 (which would violate international law) and those who are far too old to fight at all. A man on a zimmerframe is not going to be any use in combat.

By the way, if I was called, I'd go.

BTW, it would cost an awful lot of money to ship 60 million Americans to Iraq. Not to mention the damage to the economy.

Even so:
* You've got to buy the rifles.
* You've got to pay for the bullets.
* You've got to charter the planes.
* You've got to pay for the fuel.
* Unless you want to be yanked up on a genocide charge, you're going to have to feed them.

You've got to love the straw man argument that cutting the funding for this war would somehow leave the troops in Iraq with no supplies, starving.

I wasn't saying that. I was merely pointing out the bad logic of shipping everyone who supported the war to Iraq, which would cost an awful lot of money.

Actually it would be done at no cost at all.  In fact it would actually save money for the country as they wont be paid and all of their assets would be taken in order to fund their illegal and immoral war of terrorist aggression.

So, you're basically considering mass deportation and asset seizure of people who you don't agree with? Isn't that, you know, as bad as Hitler?
