ive got a friend thats over there 3 times alredy and he hates it and he thinks its bullshit for them to be there in the first place.
So do you and him think 9/11 was bullshit? Do you even remember? half the people that went in the armed forces is because of it not so Gung Ho about the whole idea now too late.Originally Posted by Andyturbo13
I would like to THANK every Army,Navy,Airforce and Marine thats over there and other places that are fighting for OUR freedom THEN and NOW!!
you can't throw 911 into an iraq debate.Originally Posted by KNHTRDR
there was no proof that iraq had anything to do with al quaeda (sp?). yes saddam was a bad person but there is no proof that he had anything to do with 911 so stop using that fucking excuse.

when did i say leave him alone? never.Originally Posted by rolling_trip
all i said is that im sick of people giving 911 as justification to going to Iraq.

It's too late to pull out gotta finish it now, we're still tryin to do the RIGHT THING and play nice and do it the right way as to keep everybody KINDA happy if it was left up to me when it first went down there would have been a warning to try to get all civilians out and just bomb the heck out of the place of course keeping "some"of the oil in place. Or just to really piss em off just start bombing the oil rigs every time our armed forces men and women get bombed...that way they can't say we stealing their oil that we are paying so hansomley for.
we went to iraq becuase they had "wepons of mass distrucion". and guess what they havent found a dam thing.
Let's say you are a drug dealer and you knew the FBI was comming to you house what do you do? Hide it somewhere!!!Originally Posted by Andyturbo13
any ways it are fault in the frist place we traind and gave those basterds(osama,sadam) wepons.
True. shoulda known that was gonna come back and bite us should have kept them on a short leash.Originally Posted by Andyturbo13
"...I got friends and family overthere so what u sayin they riskin their life for nuthin? if u are Fuck U!" i think its bs but i still support them any way i can.
fuck iraq and everyone fuck who lives there... let em kill each other maybe gas prices will go down
See? This is why a debate on the War in Iraq never works. Nobody can keep it civil enough to accept that people have different viewpoints. In the end, some Bush nut-licker always ends up screaming "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT - LEAVE THE US!!!!"
Y'know what? We don't have to. The entire basis of our country is Freedom of Speech. It's encouraged to speak your mind in a constructive way if you don't agree with something. One of the many reasons I love this country - the war just happens to NOT be one.

had clinton done his job 10 years ago instead of getting his dick sucked we wouldnt be in the mess we're in...had he invaded iraq when they actually had wmd instead of giving him 10 years to move them and actaully taken saddam out of power then, iraq would be a better country today...but he didnt...i will give bush credit for going in and doing something about the problems there...however i dont think we should still be there...we are causing more harm than good and we are losing too many soldiers each day to an unjust cause...this is slowly turning into the next vietnam...i support our troops and keep them in my thoughts constantly...but we need to pull out and nuke the damn country...
as far as 9/11 goes...had we done somehting 10 years ago when our carrier was attacked i dont think 9/11 ever would have happened...had we shown the world then that we dont take shit from anyone all those innocent lives would have been saved...but we didnt and it gave the world the impression that they could push us around and thats exactly what theyre doing...so technically saddam does have a lot to do with 9/11

I think that we should have finished the conflict in Afghanistan, and captured Bin Laden before going to Iraq. Yes I feel Sadam needed to be dealt with but while splitting our troops in half and used our heightened fears to go into a preemptive war, we have placed ourselves in a precarious position. Korea has achieved nuclear capabilities and we could do nothing about it, because we are simply spread too thin. New enlistments are down almost 50 percent and with no end of the insurgency in sight I feel that a draft is becoming inevitable. I think that alot of this could have been avoided had Bush used a little restraint and kept his focus where it belonged. On Afghanistan, capture Bin Laden and move to the next largest threat.
I was in the military for 13 years and have a few good friends that are over there and 1 that is leaving for 18 months to go over there. Let's just complete the mission and get the hell out... I have mixed feelings about the whole issue of us being over there. It's like a mini-Vietnam over there. Just my 2 cents...

VAL FOR PRESIDENT!!!. R.I.P.- 1979-2007
Some of you guys are looking at the situation with the same short sighted glasses Mr. Blow Job Clinton did a decade ago.
Bush Sr. made the same mistake too. Leaving something unfinished is one of the quickest ways to have to face it again.
We cannot pull out too soon or we'll be facing a Saddam wannabe in 10 yrs too.
I agree that we should get the hell out of dodge ASAP, but you can't do so while leaving the shit you started unfinished. Right now the measly gov't that is in place and the security forces/army can probably be overrun easily by some nut job and a few of his drinking buddies with a pistol and few bullets.
What do propose we do? Pull out and leave a huge country to anarchy? Everyone that says "pull out" doesn't come up with a viable option to do so. Come up with one and I'll jump aboard. Until then it's irresponsible and short sighted to just leave IMO.
We will never be able to leave. I feel that this was mishandled and will unfortunately lead to us building a base and becoming a permanent presence in Iraq. Do not misunderstand, I beilieve that we needed to deal with Sadam but I think that there could have been a better way to go about it.Originally Posted by Jaimecbr900

"...I'm a thief, I'm a liar, There's my church, I sing in the choir..."
I agree that well will never be able to leave entirely. What I find odd is that people think ridding the world of Saddam will make the terrorism just vanish. Can you imagine the number of pseudo Saddams that are waiting to take control? Hey, why not attack Iran, Syria, and North Korea since the US considers them a threat. Taking down one man alone won't solve anything. Our country becomes a more viable target everyday. We can't police the entire world, even though our egos say something different. The "fight" against terrorism made Bush. I hope we are ready for what lies ahead.
