The "War" in Iraq

[Faskist]

STOP VOTING FOR PEOPLE BASED ON WHAT PARTY THEY ARE IN.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you people? "I'm a Republican, so I support Bush"? Are you mental? Why not support actions, not people? If you ever support a person, rather than that person's specific actions, you run the risk of causing a cult of personality effect around them, which stifles intelligent debate.

"Lol guys, we need oil, so let's take it from other countries, because America is #1!"

Get out.

Ha, agreed.

Anyhow, oil is king now days. Iraq was and still is a conflict over oil.

In my opinion, Iraq is only the tip of the iceburg. As oil prices soar and oil supplies runs lower and lower demand will obviously skyrocket before oil free technology is mainstreamed. World powers will fight for control and America is undoubtably one of those powers...

the goverment did allow the planes to hit the twin towers, i forgot when this happened but a plane dropped of the map or something and within 20 minutes the plane was surrounded by fighter jets, after the first plane crashed, two hours later the twin towers were hit (i think), in that time, no fighter jets were launched, they may have been if Bush would have stopped reading to those kids in the elementary school though, I do htink that this war is about the oil and that the goverment let the twin towers get hit.

The government and the news lie. It's pretty much a well known fact. Seeing the BBC's article on Cuba on the news was actually pretty shocking how bad they made it out to be. They had a good system, were happy in it, and had a better quality of life overall.
The whole Iraq invasion has backfired on the USA. To the person above somewhere who said
'Saying we invaded Iraq for the oil is like saying September 11th was planned'
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't September 11th planned? They had big groups of people working together, i would say that was a plan.
In my opinion troops should get out of Iraq, and Iran, and stop trying to start fights with countries that aren't as rich as us.

If we invaded Iraq for oil, why are our gas prices over $3.00 a gallon? Surely we've been there long enough to have a stockpile of oil.
~Off-Topic~ Want to see gas prices under $2.00? Start drilling right here off the coast of the U.S.

It's all supply and demand. If you slow the supply, the demand (and profits) will jump.

That's right. If we drill here, the demand goes down, as does the price. Then we don't have to rely on the Middle East to supply our oil.

That means lowered profits for oil companies. Obviously, they want the highest profits that they can get.

smh

shady ass government man

 

[mcnuggetman]

i have one thing to say,

I MADE my parents NOT vote for Bush

who here did? XD

your retarded,

this is how i feel about the war, 2 prospectives theres pull out. Becasuse we got one major terroist and one dictator and his major lacky and i feel that is enough to end the war only people left are the mentally ill people who will blow them selfs up and other/things. Then there is the finish what we started or all of the troops who died lifes would ahve gone to waste, they basicly want us to find and kill ALL types of terrorists and "deal" with them which is pretty impossible, eh i side more with the pull out

 

[MosDef]

excuse me..

what a corrupt government we have

says a lot about the world we live in today

This wars not on oil where there to eliminate terrorism. Why would we go to a war for oil, the middle east is going to sell us oil if we do or do not bomb them. Seriously whats your reasoning behind that?

The United States did NOT invade Iraq for reasons of terrorism. This is completely false, and has been admitted by countless government officials, including Bush himself.

 

[backlash07lure]

Once again,I amgoing to go against you. This is nota war it is an excuse to keep the american people distracted from the real problems we have in america

You are joking, right? That sounds like the worst conspiracy theory I've ever heard.

 

[Christmas Crackers]

I believe that at the time(just after 9/11) we NEEDED to go to war, because we had just been attacked and we essentially wanted revenge. Now, how it was handled is just horrible. That's why almost everyone wants us out of Iraq, the sad truth is, I don't think we will be getting out of Iraq or any other MIddle Eastern countries any time soon, even if Obama and Clinton are yelling "get our troops home"

 

[Krazy Killah]

No wonder people picked George Bush a Republican who likes to invade other countries for oil to get power. They could of stopped Bin Laden but George Bush told the army not to and to let the Iranian people catch him bull eh?

 

[Occured]

it's just because of the oil, that's all there really was too it. America and the UK just want to become stronger.
They find a potential reason to go into Iraq, troops should have been withdrawn years ago.

I agree. I know some people who still firmly support Bush and the war in Iraq, and they are idiots. The war in Iraq has done nothing good for us. And it has killed many, many innocent civilians there. Plus, it has destroyed priceless cultural treasures in their museums. Just imagine something like that happening to us. Bush should be ashamed of himself.

 

[almasi100]

Saddam was an enemy of Osama, and did not support his terrorist activities. To eliminate terrorism, we hunt down al-qaeda leaders in Afghanistan. The reason there are so many insurgents in Iraq is because that is the only way they can make money, to join terrorist organizations, since they lost their jobs after the invasion. If you don't believe this, watch the documentary "No End in Sight." It is unlike any other documentary about the Iraq War, and will surprise you.
