Why would anyone continue to claim that the Iraq war was a success?

[uscitizen]

A trillion or so spent.
Maybe 1/2 million Iraqi dead.
5k or so dead Americans and thousands more maimed for life.
Bombings and such continue there.
Their infrastructure still is far below prewar standards.
6 billion or so US money just plain lost and unaccounted for.
No Useable WMD's found.
Their oil money did not pay for their reconstruction.
And we are not even out of there yet.

Since no conservatives have commented yet, Ill speak on their behalf:

"Because God would want us to kill them because we are a Christian nation"

the only one that can actually be refuted is the last one. We won't be out of Iraq so to speak for a very long time. We still have soldiers in Germany, Japan, and Korea. As for the others, hey thats conservatism for ya

Ba-jillions spent, defense contractors and "Family friends" made wealthy... Check.

People scared into letting Dumbya do whatever he wanted for 7 years... Check.

Lots of 3rd world brown people killed... Check.

Country deep in debt, record deficits, excuse to attack New Deal era programs... Check.

How exactly do you think connies define "success?"

 

[Fyht]

At least they have universal health care thanks to Republicans.

UHC is good enough for Iraqis, but not Americans

Well why waste money on America's health when we dump it all on a country full of those "evil" Muslims?

Yep a preemptive invasion policy is NOT what America is supposed to be about.

I was floored when I realized we were actually going to invade.
I was always against the Iraq war.

Typical fucking lefty, thinking that all conservatives think alike, just because the left give up free thought for their borg-like behavior.

You people (and by 'you people' I mean fucking morons) are an embarrassment to the country.

Its called a stereotype. Its all in good nature, and I'm sure you never ever make generalizations about the left. I also acknowledge del for having a lick of sense and being an honest conservative.

Its the age old battle between logic and personal insult. California girl, sided with the latter.

Why would I deny his bullshit? He does not speak on behalf of anyone - even a fucking moronic leftist should get that fact. Are you paid to be this dumb?

Do I speak on behalf of you? No. That would be moronic. Cap fits, you wear it. It's not my fault that you're an idiot.

A trillion or so spent.
Maybe 1/2 million Iraqi dead.
5k or so dead Americans and thousands more maimed for life.
Bombings and such continue there.
Their infrastructure still is far below prewar standards.
6 billion or so US money just plain lost and unaccounted for.
No Useable WMD's found.
Their oil money did not pay for their reconstruction.
And we are not even out of there yet.

I think showing ourselves as tyrants and lowering the bar in combat is the most disturbing part of this war. Few might remember, but Desert Storm ended, Saddam released his POWs. We don't even raise to his level in our treachery.
