Iraq A Stain On The America Of Old

[Contessa_Sharra]

America's troops were unnecessarily burdened with what amounts to a war crime.

You hyperbolic lefties have done to the term "war crimes" what you do to so many terms that used to mean something: over use them and misapply them until them become empty slogans devoid of real meaning.

As MANY WORDS as you total idiot righties have ruined, LOL, CLEAN UP YOUR OWN MESS FIRST, the MAYBE we on the other side will take what you have to say under advisement!

 

[rightwinger]

Iraq was a strategic blunder that we will continue to pay for many years. To expose US Troops to harm based on such fragile information and for so little gain was tragic

 

[Cammmpbell]

They hate America.. go figure.

This ain't America. The real America is one where everybody makes a little sacrifice. Right now the Republican Right is laying on their ass and doing nothing. If they can't fight and they aren't a rocket scientist they should at least be paying a heavy tax burden. Dwight Eisenhower...a Republican saw tax rates where anyone earning more than $300,000 a year paid 91% of the excess to the government. This bunch of entitled pricks have Washington in their pockets and don't intend to contribute a goddamed thing if they can find a way around it.

go **** a ewe why don't ewe? you got a pissy attitude. you should move maybe to Iraq.

Joe the Plumber....what a hack

History will determine the gains from the Iraq War and long efforts at stabilizing and rebuilding there.

LMAO!! Don't make a goddam what history decides. Iraq had never done anything to the United States. Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction. George W. Bush and his cabinet told a thousand lies using every government agency at their disposal to convince the congress and people on the street that we should invade Iraq and it was for no other reason except Bush and his Texas justice to get even with Saddam Hussein for attempting to assassinate his daddy. The lying son-of-a-***** actually told other middle east heads of state that god told him to do it. That dumb bastard actually sleeps at night after leaving over 4000 dead young Americans in the desert over his revenge and vengeance to one man. You people have your heads so far up your ass that you'll never see daylight or smell fresh air again. That's the truth.

Once again your complete stupidity shines through.

Democrats ignored GWs intel and relied on Clintons. Meaning your just an ordinary liar.

 

[Intense]

America's troops were unnecessarily burdened with what amounts to a war crime. And they have been victims of an administration, Bush's, that has grossly violated a sacred trust between the civilian government and it's military.

It's sad that they are the only one's to pay.

So what is your position on Drones flying uninvited over Sovereign Countries again?

Is there a list in your mind at least, of Countries that we shouldn't be flying them over?

If it is okay for us to fly the drones, is it okay for other Nations to fly theirs over our airspace?

What kind of Precedent do you want to try to set Sallow?

Attempting to assassinate a US President just flies right over your head, huh. Firing on our Aircraft, violating Treaty terms has no meaning to your sorry ass. That's sad.

LMAO!! You drank the Kool-Aid. That's a fact. Bless his heart....just couldn't get over something that happened ten years before. Ask the families of the 4400 dead, the 33,000 seriously wounded....especially the triple amputees, the 2 million Iraqis who fled to Syria and Jordon after the suicide bombings started, the 150,000 dead Iraqis etc. I'm so sorry you got your feelings hurt. You've still got time......since you're such a patriot why don't you join up......I'm sure they can find a place for you in Afghanistan.

Could you be more full of shit??? Nah... You do not even know my position on the Iraq Invasion or the timing of it. News Flash Sparky, Whatever the War, Wherever the War, People get hurt and killed. People get killed by combatants on all sides. Funny how you lay the whole blame on Bush, on Us. Retard. The Jihad goes on. It has cost us Billions. Our actions have effected it in ways you refuse to consider. That is a whole other matter.

As far as my feelings are concerned, I'm immune to your sting, Dick Head. You and your assumptions carry no weight. I'm a Human Being first, a Patriot second. My life and will is my own to maintain, not yours or Anyone Else's. I do my part on my terms, not yours. So you can **** Off there too, Slime ball.

 

[MarcATL]

You're wrong. The entire country is paying. Some estimates are that Iraq will cost will over 3 trillion.

And the list of Republican success there is endless:

The cost of taking care of tens of thousands of maimed Americans will be another trillion, the cost of which, Republicans will lay on Obama.

Iraq is now a right wing theocratic Islamic government were it's stated in their constitution that all legislation is to be based on Islam.

The female population is enslaved.

Iraqis are able to do to their gays what right wingers want to do to them here.

Our military is depleted.

The Iraqis, in a burst of national pride, put up a monument to Bush. The famous "shoe" monument. The government tore it down. So much for freedom of expression.

We have created another Iran and an enemy forever.

Republicans were able to make the rest of the world fear and loathe us.

In fact, during the 6 years they had total control of the government, they put into play policies that have brought down the economy, slashed our educational system, ruined our Justice Department, forced top scientists to leave government service and helped make a tiny sliver of Americans wealthy beyond their wildest dreams by making what was illegal, legal.

When the party of "let him die" is asked to name the "good things" they've done, they say that list ARE the "good things". They don't understand why the rest of America doesn't agree.

Boy that RW palooka Administration of Bush n Cheney sure did a bang-up job.

Thanks Bush n Cheney!!!

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, you hysterical, shrieking lefty extremist moron. Take your emo act elsewhere.

It's not hyperbolic.

The United States attacked a country that did not attack it first. The United States engaged in actions that caused the deaths of well over 100,000 Iraqis.

Had any other country engaged in those sorts of actions, especially one without Nukes, they'd be in big trouble. And their leaders would be subject to prosecution in the Hague.

It's not hyperbolic..

Of course it is, you partisan shit. Do we have to go through all the agreements and resolutions Iraq was in violation of? Do we have to go over Saddam's support of terrorism and instability in a region of the world where grave threats had sprung? Then you'll say every one of the great many violations and instigations wasn't good enough reason and squeal about "Lies!" you can never prove and basically reiterate your partisan position over and over. Save everyone the time - you were opposed to the war and that is your subjective position. You can say so without the silly, empty hyperbole and insupportable charges.

 

[uscitizen]

The "Bush Doctrine" Of preemptive invasions based on rumors, etc is totally unamerican.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Why did the invasion of Iraq surprise any of you?

We have been invading countries on a whim pretty much constantly for the past 70 years. Any guesses on which country we'll invade next?

Violation of what? Saddam was basically a US/Brit spook installation gone feral. In other words..the fact he headed that country in the first place was a clusterfuck.

This is what happens when countries are built this way. Personally..I have no trouble with spook ops so long as it's being used to keep us from fighting major wars..or making sure we don't get hit by terrorism. But when it's used to lock up the resources of other countries to profit a few well connected in this country..it's wrong. And it generally winds up with really bad outcomes.

The president, ambassador and generals who spoke put up the best appearance possible for the withdrawal of our warriors who were remaining there. This enormous fiasco was started by George W. Bush because he really never had gotten over Saddam Hussein trying to assassinate his father in 1993. The war of choice was funded through emergency spending measures and didn't even show up as budget deficits until Obama declared the tricks were over. The war expenses began to show up as part of the deficit in fy 2010.

Over 1 million of America's young served in that shithole. about 4400 were killed there. About 33,000 were seriously wounded....some triple amputees. Those who suffer from PTSD number in the 100's of thousands. Most of us don't know the name of a single one of those families whose lives have been adversely affected by these lingering conditions. The unemployment figures for the vets are two points higher than for the general population. Over 100 suicides each day across this nation are directly attributile to the war in Iraq. The percentage of vets on drugs is astronomical.

With tax rates the lowest they've been in more than 40 years and the Republican party having taken a pledge to allow no increases one thing is proven. If American society had taken the same kind of stand during the second world war we would all be goose stepping. During my 60 adult years in this country things are worse than ever before. The richest people are in control and see no reason to pay a fair share and definitely will not put on a uniform and fight. Rich people in a military uniform are about as plentiful as hen's teeth.

Every step the Republicans take in Washington are designed for two things. Make the president look bad and protect low tax rates for corporations and the wealthy. Surely there are enough intelligent Americans to see through this. Either that or Newt Gingrich will be annointed in January 2013.

You gotta almost laugh. Every bloody conflict in the bloody 20th century happened during a democrat administration. Woodie Wilson told Americans he would never send them to fight in a foreign war and next thing you know we were up to our asses in a squabble between Germany and France. 100,000 is a conservative estimated of Americans lost in Wilson's war. FDR decided Japan was a pushover so he goaded the Japanese to get into the "real" war in Europe. A conservative estimate of 350,000 lost in FDR's war. Harry Truman didn't even have Congress's permission to send Troops to Korea. Under the leadership of his has-been possibly mentally incompetent commanding general we went from a victory in 9 months to an embarassing truce in three years with 38,000 Americans killed. LBJ had a better idea. With a fake incident in the Tonkin Gulf he fixed it so that America could never win no matter how many battles we won. About 60,000 lost in LBJ's war. Democrats couldn't take a chance that Americans would be victorious in Iraq so they undermined the war effort every chance they got. Democrats snickered as Cindy Sheehan's anti-war nut cases disrupted the funerals of Americans. Who bought the full page ad in the NY Times that called the American commanding general "betray-us"? It wasn't the GOP. Democrat senate majority leader Harry Reid should be in jail for treason for telling the Troops "the war is lost" just as the Troop Surge was working.
