I honestly didn't know there was anyone left who didn't think the W is a class A fuckup.

Flumper Barflusterbutt Wrote:Would it make you feel better if they uncovered some wmd's that had been hidden after we invaded? If that happened, would you say, "Damn. I was wrong."?
BIRD33 Wrote:No I think that was a bullshit reason to go anyway.We said he was violating UN treaties and then we go ahead and go against the same UN to go fight him?If you want to act like we had to protect ourselves from rouge nations with nukes then I say two words, North Korea.You said it already in this thread, it was about the oil but people don't like to lose family members and friends when they werent told the real reasons for the war.
Flumper Barflusterbutt Wrote:You have to be careful how you say "it was about the oil". Most people think that we did it to get their oil. That we went over there to take their oil. That's not it at all. It didn't have anything to do with their oil except for the fact that the oil was what Saddam was using to spend so much on weapons and terror.
Fuck, he was paying families to have their kids be suicide bombers in Israel. He did that openly. No fucking telling what all he was funding with the money he took from the oil industry there.
BIRD33 Wrote:I agree that it's a process but since when are we the ones to decide who has what style of goverment?Even though it seems like a nice and noble idea I don't remember the Iraq's asking us to help them.I also think you forgot that we went there to get the WMD's that turned out not to be there not create a stable democracy.The reason 70% of the country wants to leave Iraq and a majority of Americans believe bush decieved them to get into Iraq is because the mission that we must accomplish has been ever changing, first its WMD's next its getting rid of saddam, then its creating a stable democracy in the mideast(ha!) and so on.People don't handle losing loved one's and friends when you can't even define what mission accomplished means.Think about 20 years from now when a daughter who never met her father who died in Iraq asks her mother what was the point of going to war with Iraq actually was and why was the war so important her father had to gave his life.Can you answer that honestly right now?

If I'm so racist, then why would I be in favor of liberating those people over there? I think that it is best for them, best for the region, and ultimately best for us. Once you start a job, you have to finish it.
People that are running around now pointing fingers and playing the "told you so" bullshit are hurting our troops and our cause more than anything else. The real cowardess that you show is that you'd rather be right than do the right thing.

I read today that on June 2nd Obama sent 7,000 marines to Afghanistan. Is sending the same as taking them out?
