Why Did My Friends Die in Iraq?

[Zona]

What do you mean vets have to fight for every crumb?????
Obama has been President for 5 years...he hasn't fixed this???

Its going to take a lot longer than 8 years to fix that Bush mess. We almost had another depression because of Bush and Iraq. A freaking depression yet the right still, to this day defends him.

They are sick.

The negligence of WW2 touched just about every family in the United States. Ten times more Americans were killed or captured in the first four months of WW2 than the entire Iraq mission. Shame on left wingers who have taken a legitimate congress authorized mission and turned it into a political issue.

Shame on cowardly rw's trying to change the topic of this thread.

What is the topic again?

You all know I'm a 22+ years vet. So, this may come as a surprise - I totally agree with Ron Paul that we have no business involving ourselves in the internal conflicts of other counties. We were wrong to get involved in Vietnam and could've avoided it if only we'd treated Ho Chi Minh correcting during WII. We have no business in Kosovo, Croatia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. We certainly have no business getting involved in Africa - which out Bumbler-in-Chief is getting us into.

I also believe we should stop all foreign military aid. If countries want to obtain our military equipment, let them pay for them out of their own funds.

Spend all that money to defend our own borders and use it to deal with many of the problems we face here in the USA.

During the entire time Bush was in office did you mention us being in Iraq was wrong? Once? Ever?

Ever?

And shame on you for slandering our dead.

I respect the uniform, but not the politicians /politics that have put our armed forces in harms way since Vietnam. Artificial wars and ill thought out consequences. Maybe we better start looking harder at ourselves for voting in these creeps that so lightly waste our children's lives and national treasure for fleeting political causes. The fault lay in ourselves.

US voters whose ballots contain candidates from established third parties running for House and Senate seats have the option of voting against Republicans AND Democrats.

Internet and social networking make it possible to convince millions of eligible voters who don't see the difference between the two major parties to get involved and FLUSH the DC Toilet next November.

Should dozens (hundreds?) of congressional incumbents from both parties lose their seats in a single news cycle, the rich in the US will get a message they haven't heard since Tom Paine died.

I would like nothing more than to see both parties flushed if the people could wake up from their controlled-opposition slumber.

It's an old idea, sometimes known as the "anti-vote", where incumbents from both major parties are FLUSHED from DC simultaneously. There was no practical way of accomplishing this prior to cyberspace; today, we no longer have that excuse. Possibly, the next major financial crisis will provide the incentive to wake the hell up (before it's too late)

That would great! Dumping both parties is the answer.

When will Americans wake up to the fact that the so called two party system, is real a one party system..designed for the benefit of government and the two parties.

"congress authorized mission" BASED ON FLAWED INTEL. Glad to help

Ever heard of Doug Feith & what he did in the Bush II admin? Serious question.

If you haven't, then you're ill-equipped for this discussion.

Why Did My Friends Die in Iraq?

Could it be that they were shot at for being invaders?

 

[HenryBHough]

If they died before 2009 they died because the regime was too weak-kneed to simply have nuked Hussein back into the stone age.

If they "died" after 2009 you're hallucinating because no American could possibly have died in Iraq because The New Messiah brought everyone safely home - exactly as He promised.

Didn't He?

WWII was a matter of survival. We were pushed into war then. I was touched by that war. But, Every war since, America has been involved in since has been a disaster. Operation Desert storm, I saw it coming months before Sadam invaded Kuwait. I don’t have precognition. I had my eyes wide open in 89-90 and saw the changes in the military garb, camouflage and stepped up shipments of military vehicles of all sorts being shipped on rail cars to the west coast. And, the fact that Sadam practically asked our ambassador in Kuwait permission to invade, and the Bush admin. "just didn't get the hint". Yeah. Right. But the blowback from that was …Al queda attacking the US on 9/11, (we were offending Bin laden & Muslims by using Saudi Arabia as a base to stage the attack on Iraq…) perhaps this is better on the conspiracy board, I know. All of this is so preposterous . Fast forward, 2003, there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and if the Bush II Admin. had just a little more patience and waited to CONFIRM that, we wouldn’t be in this mess now. Foresight is one thing. Liberalism another. This is just plain old observational reasoning. But here we are in 14’. We lost trillions of dollars and thousands of lives, both Iraqi civilians and US military, let alone our prestige, for naught.

 

[HenryBHough]

Imagine how bad Obama's unemployment problem would be today had not those thousands died in Iraq! But does he thank Bush????

Nooooooo........

He just shows the most sincere form of approval by imitating him.

Why do the brainless say we should 'nuke stone age societies back to the stone age' when actually, they still live in the stone age?

Its such a DUMB thing to say.

Who said anything about allowing any to "live"?

yep. they are punishing their religious minorities and are buddying-up w/ Syria & Iran.

Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has a mixed Shia and Sunni population. Most sources estimate that around 65% of Muslims in Iraq are Shia, and around 35% are Sunni.

Even you know that George W destroyed jobs and President Obama creates jobs.

Post proof that its not true.

Yabut, Bush had to leave office before he could kill all Iraqis and all American's.

All "American's" what?

All "American's" what?

Learn to use the quote function.

About the same time you learn the difference between "Americans" and "American's".

So I reiterate the HARD question: "American's WHAT"?
