I have realized that the liberals are going to do what ever it takes to taint the great victory in Iraq
Does anyone realize that war is over and it looks like we will be 100% gone in 6 months?
That there is a republic in place?
and that women vote and hold office?
I had no idea that the liberal media and there cock suckers would go to the level they have to make the troops look bad and make the success they fought hard for look like, well ask Drock and that crew
I dont even know how to explain it
DOES ANYBODY CARE WE WON?
Yes, I care that we've "won".
However, I care more that Jr. invaded the wrong country and fought an unjust war using 9/11 as a selling point. OBL was in Afghanistan/Pakistan, not Iraq.
Additionally, there were NO WMD's.
Saddam is who kept the Taliban OUT of Iraq, but when we invaded and took him out, the Taliban then moved in.
As far as the job the military did? They did the best they could with incompetent leadership under Jr. who sent them into battle without proper armor for the humvees.
Yeah, I care the war is over, but I care more that we shouldn't have gone in the first place.
Your point about OBL I would never argue with
WikiLeaks Show WMD Hunt Continued in Iraq With Surprising Results | Danger Room | Wired.com
Defense.gov News Article: Munitions Found in Iraq Meet WMD Criteria, Official Says
Report: Hundreds of WMDs Found in Iraq - U.S. Senate - FOXNews.com
By late 2003, even the Bush White Houses staunchest defenders were starting to give up on the idea that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
But WikiLeaks newly-released Iraq war documents reveal that for years afterward, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins and uncover weapons of mass destruction.
An initial glance at the WikiLeaks war logs doesnt reveal evidence of some massive WMD program by the Saddam Hussein regime the Bush administrations most (in)famous rationale for invading Iraq. But chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddams toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict and may have brewed up their own deadly agents.
In August 2004, for instance, American forces surreptitiously purchased what they believed to be containers of liquid sulfur mustard, a toxic blister agent used as a chemical weapon since World War I. The troops tested the liquid, and reported two positive results for blister. The chemical was then triple-sealed and transported to a secure site outside their base.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the year I read Centcom stuff online, and they actually told about finding the stuff. First, they reported finding several million confidential papers in one of Saddam's capital and that it looked hopeful they could follow the trail of the WMDs. I'm pretty sure they reported finding a passel of bombs, some of which had traces of nuclear material that had been removed from them. They also reported finding a stock of deadly Sarin-type gas, enough to kill several hundreds of thousands of people and moreover, the gas was 10x as potent as regular Sarin, which is highly deadly. They also reported finding 36 gravesites with thousands and thousands of people in them who'd been mass-slaughtered. Men. Women. Children. Babies. Old people. All dead. There were pictures to back them up, pictures of people crying while our troops stood by them.
Now, all that is just something politicians turn into the pretense that nothing was there that would have justify war, when in fact, Saddam Hussein's neighborhood wars took over a million neighbors and half a million Iraqi citizens.
He kept rape rooms for himself, and both his sons had rape rooms and torture chambers. Their dogma was why use waterboarding when you can torture people to half an inch away from death to secure information before you raped their womenfolk in front of them as the last thing they would ever see in this life, the ultimate humiliation after so many other humiliations.
I'm sorry, there was more screaming bloody murder about Rachel Corrie and nothing at all was acknowledged by the leftist lockstep media about information coming out of Iraq that validated the war. Why? Take Rachel Corrie who wanted to die, and multiply that times 300,000 villagers of Kurdish origin who did not want to die, and slaughter them. Then slaughter a million of your neighbors on 3 sides in one coup after another, some of which earned the Iraqis exactly nothing.
Saddam burned Kuwaiti oil fields as he was leaving, leaving a spectacle the world will never forget if you were paying attention, but that was hushed by the leftist locksteppers because it was expedient for them to damage President Bush as much as they possibly could and play like President George H.W. Bush's attempted assassination was so slight it only served as a badminton swat at his son as they berated him "daddy this" and "daddy that" rather than the fact that it was Saddam Hussein who tried to murder an American President in retaliation for stopping his assault on Kuwait.
The press is a lard ass shithole of lies. I'm sick of them lying their asses off every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year, droning on and on and on with lie after lie after pernicious lie, and the Democrats grinning like cheshire cats at each lie, like they just ate the last cookie in the cookie jar.
Now the Democrats are in alliance with liars again. They've got WikiLeaks and WikiOmissions and WikiLiars all over the place, pouring gasoline and setting it off with matches to destroy the US of A so the Democrats can push their little putrid case of Marxism off while acting as if making a living in the regular tried-and-true way is evil bad and horrible.
Democrats have this delusion that murdering all the bosses off and lying about the rest is going to win them everything they have coming, and I'm good and darn sick of the lying, bullshitting, obfuscating, and cramming bills down Congress' throat telling CONGRESSMEN not to read what they insist on that they pass.
Stupid people believe them, but that doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is that some seemingly smart people go along with it.
