I urge you to write your congressman to pass a law, ASAP, to ban neo-cons from our society. This cannot be allowed to continue.

If things are binding in Irak, they need to take a laxative. We just cannot allow this binding situation to continue. Cyth, you need to take your stand to Washington. We support you; you know what you’re talking about. Make them listen to you, gurl. In one day I bet you could have this whole situation of spending too much money under control and within a week, I believe you could have the whole Middle East problem solved.

You deserve a raise, gurlfriend. You’re the only voice in the wilderness who’s talking sense. Everyone else is a hater but you’re talking sense. You haven’t failed us yet, don’t fail us now. Keep on going, going, going.

Really??? We did much, much less harm to Iraqi people than what Sadaam did. He was a brutal dictator that killed people who disagreed with him on a regular basis. It is funny that you bleeding heart liberals are all in favor of using military action to stop other genocides, but when Bush led us into a war to do that very thing, you complain about it. Which is it? Save lives or don’t save lives?

Saddam ignored UN sanctions continuously. Something needed to be done. I know, I know here comes the lack of WMD claim too. If you do not think he had them, then you are seriously delusional. The Clinton admin acknowledged he had them and was in the process of developing more. Many other politicians, Dems included, agreed with the assessment as well….well before Bush ever was in power. To think they didn’t go somewhere like Syria perhaps is just flat-out ignorant.
Last, throw in the Saddam sponsored terrorism as demonstrated by his well-documented policy of paying the families of suicide bombers. We said we would fight terrorists and those that sponsor them. He fit that description too.

Was the invasion in America’s interest? Yes. Sadaam was about to inflict the damage to the US dollar that we are seeing now by starting the process of getting oil traded in Euros versus dollars. We would have seen the same destruction to our economy that we are seeing now. Bush needed a way to get that problem taken care and he used the reasons above as a basis to do it. Our troops went over there and took care of business and for the most part, they did it the right way. There was collateral damage, but that damage pales in comparison to the terror that Saddam put these people through. Trust me….I was there. Not sure whether you could say the same thing, nor do I care. For the most part, in contrast to what the news organizations wanted everybody to believe, the Iraqi people were happy to have us there. We made a difference in their lives. We need to continue to support their country’s development. We cannot listen to morons like Cynthia who have no clue.

Like I said ……….. “some talk, some do.”

We can not be less dependent on Middle East oil while the liberals are starving an oil based economy of oil. I heard on the radio this morning that our tax dollars were going to green companies that are making green cars that cost 90k and 100k each. Also those companies are overseas companies. I guess our employment needs do not matter to the speical whacko green liberals.

As soon as we become less dependent on Middle East oil we can pull out and let this happen. In the meantime,we’re not there to unite them,we’re there to keep them from killing each other.

You can not kill just the armed men at the time. The terrorist teach their children to become terrorist. For instance, a child born to a terrorist in the first gulf war is now a seasoned militant for the terrorist causes. Yeah and a 10yr old in 2001 is now a seasoned militant with American blood on his hands.

Of course liberals can not lead, liberals can not follow, and liberals can only give socialist views. It does not matter who is in charge(president) at the time, the liberals and special groups will ensure the war will not be fought with extreme prejudice. Terrorists have no value of life–such as using mosques for arm storages, using schools for direct and indirect fire, and simply using public places to hide and discharge their tactics.

These tactics are a conumdrum for the socialist liberals who are void of any military intelligence or skills. Remember, most liberals use the military to get college funds or simply go to college and avoid the military. Even a tour with the military for the liberal is not for patriotic duty but for selfish reasons.

Yes this is going to become a costly war. The US will eventually withdraw in defeat. The radical muslims will establish a religious regime and its citizens will lose freedom and be at the mercy of religious doctrine. Thanks liberals! The terrorist salute you! Cynthia praises you!

Not only there, but the rest of the world as well. But hey, a fella has to eat.

The irony is we don’t need oil from there now, but Europe and Asia do. Let’s hope that there will be no need to go back, if ever completely withdrawn.

I would modify that to say betrayed by their presidents. But we, the people, sat on our hands and let it happen. Why weren’t we in the streets by the millions? In that sense, I guess it was the system. So far I don’t think Obama has betrayed them. Let’s see if he measures up and can avoid doing so.

The author of the link I provided thought it would take 600,000 troops to take, hold and reconstruct Afghanistan.
