The "War" in Iraq

[SlaveOfTheBeast]

Well, Im talking about the terrorists that fly planes into buildings and blow up U.S. Military personnel with bombs.

Terrorist didn't do 9/11.

 

[Sk80rdie76]

They're not the same. Al-Qaeda hit us on 9/11, while Sunni/Shiite insurgents hit us these days.

al-qaeda still exists in iraq and carry out attacks.

 

[Shredderbeam]

al-qaeda still exists in iraq and carry out attacks.

To a limited extent, yes, but the majority of the violence is perpetrated by Sunni/Shiite militias.

 

[Widow Maker]

whatever the reason it is a real war and without support for the troops they will lose all hope. even if you dont support the war support the troops.

 

[Shredderbeam]

How do you support the troops without supporting the "war"?

 

[Sk80rdie76]

support the troops because they're the reason were not fighting on our own soil.

 

[Shredderbeam]

"We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here."

What is the presupposition in that argument? It is that Al Qaeda is only capable of one thing at a time. Apparently they cannot multi-task.

However, they have orchestrated bombings around the world over the past few years. That shows that your argument is basically worthless.

Then Mr.ShredderBeam, where would we be fighting if we weren't over there?

We still can't leave untill we create a steady government, And we can not leave, until they are able to defend themselves... The land is worth a lot, because of oil. If all our soliders left how long would they last. then we would have to pay reperations.

 

[Shredderbeam]

We wouldn't be fighting at all. If we never invaded Iraq, nobody would be fighting over there.

*EDIT*

Jaamal, we can't even protect them. Our presence is going nothing.

+1, wish I had found those, Congratz on the find.

Most people only think about the money we are losing on the war once we leave when Bush is out of office... We will have to probably to pay IRAQ again. Sigh. Taxes are going to rise again. Sigh

9/11 Done By U.S. to invade Iraq For Oil....Controlled Demolition ftl

Iraq Is invaded to look for Osama Bin Laden/Saddam costing some expendable lives to the U.S. Nation in the the eyes of the government

The war is pointless and costing a lot of money.....I wonder if they'll hit their own team again and Use a WMD on their own forces and say terrorists did it just so they can reside there longer and erect more U.S. controlled governments over there

We are in iraq for oil. You fail.
Sure they might want democracy, but democracy cannot be shipped to Iraq on a tanker or a C-5A.

This occupation has cost us around $400 billion so far. We are now nearly $9 trillion in debt. Where do we draw the line?

Lol wow like 1/18th of Americas debt is from the war in Iraq.

If i remember correctly Clinton or Carter didn't do jack shit to help that number, but all of the sudden people forget about them and George Bush is spending all our money!! what a joke, and saying 9/11 was staged by the government is practically Anti American. People who say that are so far left they might aswell be communists. United health care FTL?

People need to stop watching CNN..

You Obviously Didn't read those did you?

They're about if iraqis want the u.s. to stay or not.

Shipping Democracy to iraq?

We're over there on doing it right now, if you didn't notice, setting up a government takes time.
