President Bush, A True War Hawk

On December 10th, President Bush was accused of keeping the troops in Iraq for far too much time, and ignoring the American people's protests against the war. This was, of course, brought unto him by the new Democratic leaders in congress. These new government members have decided to begin a "bipartisan campaign against his proposed military expansion". They will actually monitor the Presidents spendings for the Iraqi war. Apparently, his is going to have to limit the number of troops brought over, and time limits will be set for the money that needs to be obtained by the president (or rather the government).
Usually, the Democrats are in favor of a war with Iraq, however they now seem to believe that it has gone too far. Some Republicans have also begun to speak up about the war.
It seems as though President Bush is now only pleasing a few people, rather than the majority.
When the war of 1812 was about to occur, many people differed in oppinion when it came to warefare or an attempt at a peaceful negotiation. This is much like the situation with President Bush today. Some of the newly appointed Democrats do not agree with the presidents policy of war just like the peace doves did not agree with President Madison during the war of 1812. Those who agree with Mr. Bush can easily be compared to the War Hawks, who always seemed to come up with more and more reasons why the war would bring justice. One of the arguments for war in 1812 was that it would preserve the American honor and dignity that was won in the American Revolution. It can be argued that President Bush would say the same about why we are in Iraq, still; to uphold honor that might not be rightfully his.
