That's a really bad reason to stop combatting terrorism/communist, I rather be hated for combating those sh!t than being dominated by them. Would you like being ruled by a terrorist/communist government, or being hated for combatting them? Think about it.
I still beleive that we would have invaded iraq in the longrun, 9/11 was just kindof an excuse to push the war earlier. our country is just to dependant on oil
You and everyone else in this thread that says Bush only invaded Iraq because of oil don't even need to speak. If you seriously believe that is the reason why, then you have not been informed on anything but negative comments about Bush. What about the fact that we already have been to Iraq and even after that event terrorists again attacked us on our soil. For a long time we have had to deal with terrorist attacks not just in the US but also in other countries. More On Topic - I do believe we still would have gone into Iraq or some other Middle Eastern country because it was inevitable. On a side note.... Do I believe that the war in Iraq is a good thing? I do. Although terrorism will never be abolished, our efforts in preventing incidents like 9/11 happening again is well worth the 1000 soldier deaths (In my Opinion). Oh sure you could say stuff like it's not your friends or relatives fighting/dieing in that war, and your right. I don't have any friends or relatives fighting/dieing in that war. I would however die proud fighting for the betterment of my country America and the rest of the world. Isn't it funny how all of the people saying we should "pull out" most likely at one time supported the war?
Watch the damned news. Its over 2,000. Al-Qaeda hates Saddam, and hates us, so thats why they went there. Most of the terrorist groups said if America leaves they would cooperate with the government WHICH DOESNT EVEN CONSIDER ATTACKS ON OUR TROOPS TERRORISM, THUS WE ARE NOT WANTED BY THE GOVERNMENT WE APPOINTED FFS. Iraq only added fuel to the fire, giving terrorists a better reason to bomb America, instead of just leaving it at Afghanistan and keeping to ourselves, we had to get involed with Daddy's old grudge with Saddam. Real smart thinking. Because the WMD case was nothing but 100% bull----, it took 2 years and 1,000 deaths to say something that the UN did a helluva lot more efficently. Maybe we should try listening.
okay..im err from iraq yeah seriosuly im from iraq >_> and the f*cking bush had war with iraq cuz he hates us for no reson, he said its about the oil but its not >_>
wonder if i'll get flamed for this...well wasnt there a report that said they think that osama was plannin a terrorist attack and they think they even know where but bush was being a lazy ass vacationing and never even looked at the report....they say 9/11 couldve been avoided
yes ^ they had information concerning a possible terrorist threat. Apparently they didn't take it seriously enough.
consider the facts that they get...what...thousands of possible terrorist reports every day. You go through them all and decide what ones are real and aren't. I am pro war...why? Saddam was a bad man, look what he did to the Kurds...can you say WMD? Mass graves that everyone seems to have forgotten about....hundreds of thousands of corpses and skeletons in a pit behind a prison. Saddam got what he deserved....take the head off a chicken...it may run around kicking for a while but it will eventually die. I know many people from Iraq and have a cousin in Iraq right now. Ya know what? The Iraqi's I know are happy that the US actually stepped in and did something to help them out. My cousin puts his life on the line every day for his country to help save another country from a tyrant. It'd be hard to be a troop knowing that no one you are fighting to protect appreciates what you are doing and what some of your comrades are dying for. 2000 troops isn't alot of casualties considering they have occupied another country for a very long time now...think of how many innocent civilians die from homocides in New York or Los Angeles in a day.
I would agree with you if we weren't decieved. Hell, Cheney's top aide resigned, after charged with some crimes because the CIA agent that got leaked went to Nigera and found the whole Uranium thing was a flat out lie. Yeah. Iraq never got Uranium from Nigeria or whatever country it was. So, Cheney and co. leak him to the reporteds. Really nice. The WMD thing was bull----, honestly. Check earler post because I talked about it. Yes, Saddam was evil, but that wasnt why we went there- we went there because Bush Jr. tried to prove Bush Sr. wrong on Sr.'s words of "eliminating Saddam would only create an extended conflict we could not afford.." ...yeah. Great ----ing plan, Junior, you get more people killed after "major combat operations" then the actual war itself. What really killed support was the WMD goosechase. Thats why France was raising the red flag. Hell, Colin Powell resigned and says his speech to the UN about Iraq was his biggest mistake. And I actually liked the guy... Now, the Republicans have enough control so that if you think setting up some sort of plan for leaving sometme would be good, you are a "coward." John Murtha, a Representative and decorated Vietnam vet was yelled off the Senate floor for Propisition 517, which would call immediate withdrawl from Iraq. I disagreed with it, but the Republicans yelling him out like that and calling him a coward is disgusting. What we really need is Barack Obama for dictator, 2008.
Typo...I do watch the news, however it is biast. The news you tell me to watch says that the Iraqi people do want us there. Bush Sr. pulled out too soon causing the terrorists to regain power and pull a stunt like 9/11. Indeed it is smart thinking. I will say that America's government is corrupt but the information that was given to Bush did lead him to believe there were WMDs in Iraq. Now first off Bush apologized for leading our soldiers into a false alar, but what if there really were WMD's? Would all of us still be living? Thanks I do.
1. Yes....your right. like 400 of those deaths were non combat related. They don't really matter. its not 2000 yet. /sarcasm 2. Fox news is not news. 3. Hmmm you should read somthing. Iraq wasn't involved in Nine eleven. 4. No, we would not be dead. Even Saddam is not stupid enough to bomb us. We would destroy him and his entire country in a matter of hours.
I'm pretty sure that is called a rumor. Sure it could have been true but so could have been the bomb's planted in the Sears Towers during it's creation. Or the missile spotted under a wing of Flight 11. Or the originally planned day 9/18 being the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah). Oh and then there is this.
