Why Did My Friends Die in Iraq?

[DennyO]

George Bush knows why he invaded Iraq:

"I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq ." And I did."

-Stated by Nabil Ahaath, Foreign minister of Palestine, as reported by the BBC, Oct. 6, 2005

I don't see how Bush is much worse than Obama, in any case; to tell the truth, I kind of liked Bush, maybe not when it came to foreign policy, but other than that...

W was a disaster...he grew government dramatically, increased the national debt greatly, and failed to do anything to prevent the coming economic collapse. Then the a-hole says, “I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.” He enriches the banking elite and Wall Street, while screwing the rest of us.

The only reason an absolute dunce like Big Ears wins the WH, is because a fool like W so mucked things up.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Do you think Bush was good or evil?

He was a willing pawn.

Money is his god.

That's why he protected whole bin Lade clan including Osama.

(bastard belongs in gitmo)

Yeah ... What's a few hundred thousand lives, dead or maimed and trillions of dollars (bush) against getting us out of wars and keeping us out of more wars (Prez Obama)?

And, voting for more money for the 1% or fighting against the Rs for the middle class?

Yeah, they're really the same.

Idiot.

now the repub-voters are saying if we just let a few more 100 or 1000's of servicemen get killled over there for another 5-10 yrs to "keep a lid on the situation" all will turn out well I aint buyin it.

that doesn't even cover the econ cost that Repub voters claim they are so concerned about. I was over in that area when warrior102 was a Swabby's apprentice.

You really think 5 years is long enough to fix what has been wrong since before WWII?

He's good but, believe it or not, he's not a god.

One million Vets wait for care – A National Disgrace

... For example, in 2010 Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki announced that three diseases — ischemic heart disease, Parkinson’s disease and b-cell leukemia — would be considered the result of Agent Orange exposure for veterans who served in Vietnam. More than 240,000 claims for those diseases have been filed since that announcement. ...

... the VA spent 4 years and $537 million on a new computer to streamline the claims process. It was less than a resounding success; 97% of veteran’s claims are still filed on paper, and that’s the single biggest reason that stands out for the backlog – they VA is literally being buried in a mountain of paperwork....

That [photo above] the mountain of paperwork at the Winston-Salem NC VA office, the weight of all that paperwork compromised the structural integrity of the building – they were worried the floor would collapse.

Quit blaming President Obama for everything. Its childish and counter-productive.

or the sixty plus years of democratic control of the senate or house or both at the same time? Including a large portion of a democratic white house?

Yes he does know why he invaded Irag.

Same reason he did everything else he and his family have done for many years.

Oil money.

-- cuz that's what makes this frikken world go round.

Even the hardline tee potties have to see this.

They won't admit it but they know its the truth.

... while putting us SO deep in debt and killing hundreds of thousand of people for no other reason than to line his own pockets.

WHY do you rw's insist on trying to excuse one of the worst presidents in our history?

Stop trying to say Obama is worse yadda yadda and just face up to the truth of the bush dynasty.

Prove it.

You can't.

You can't even get close.

How many trillions has Obama put us in debt? How any hundreds of thousands has Obama killed for family oil?

National Debt has increased more under Obama than under Bush - CBS News

Anyway obama took what bush started and expanded it so keep defending that piece of shit.

 

[Bumberclyde]

Less Americans and Iraqis died in Iraq under Obama then under Bush.

As for the economy and debt, Obama took office just as Bush's shit storm of deregulation was just about to hit the fan. Coincidence? I think not.

Yep those democrats who control congress screamed racism every time Bush wanted more regulations on the housing market.
Can you dig that? DEMOCRATS WANTED LESS REGULATIONS, AND MORE MONEY MADE AVAILABLE TO THE POOR SO THEY COULD BUY A HOME.

Why did we invade Iraq?

Even if you're able to forgive bush and his cronies for putting us so deeply in debt that it will take generations to dig us out, the wanton and needless killing and maiming of so many Americans and others is just unforgivable.

Especially since vets ow have to keep fighting for every little crumb they get.

To protect ungrateful assholes like you. If they were your friends why didn't you go along to watch their back?
I think it more likely that your friends were the ones who killed them.

so you think that 10+ yr old, Repub-instigated, war of choice was a good idea? Would you propose, like other rw'ers here, that we stay there and suffer more 1000's of casualties for what? to "keep a lid on" the situation? I think getting them the **** out of there is the patriotic thing to do guy. We already have 1000's killed and 10's of 1000's maimed, physically & psycologicall for life, not to mention suicides & divorces because of unending tours.

BTW- I served and didn't refer to taxpayers (the ones who paid my check) "assholes". Just sayin...

Don't EVEN get me started on how the Repubs paid for the war putting it on our grandkid's credit card as Luddly Neddite already mentioned PLUS having to pay all the medical expenses for 40-50 yrs for the one's I mentioned above.

Protect me from WHAT???

EXACTLY what was the threat from Iraq?

Didn't you cheer obama's actions in Libya? Are you pushing him to send troops to Syria?
