DEMOCRACY IS WON THROUGH THE NEED FOR SOCIAL & ECONOMIC STABILITY -- NOT BY AGRESSIVE FOREIGN POLICY

[wvopfor81]

Do the democrats .. and yes we are winning
This is a war on all fronts %u2026 we are loosening the home front

[j-whitman]

WV,,,, BINGO,, YES THEY WOULD INDEED FABRICATE A WAR, DO YOU REALLY THINK THE REGION WILL ACCEPT WESTERN WAYS??

[wvopfor81]

You will have to use specifics %u2026 no armor %u2026 all we have is the M998 ( basic humve) V. M1114

[j-whitman]

WV,,, OK, Look at it this way,, At what's happened so far in Iraq, & Afaganistan,,, it hasn't been good,, no-way anyone can say we are winning,,, in fact, it's in our faces we are not.. Afaganistan as well,, Do you really think this administration has any idea how to win against Terrorism ??

[wvopfor81]

No Fing we were attacked 9/11%u2026. To assume that the military industrial complex would then fabricate another war for what ??? how did the other countries fabricate their Intel

[j-whitman]

WV, Come on now,, you know as well as anyone how it works in Congress, which has totally been controlle by the GOP,, UNDERFUNDED YES INDEED,, How is that good for any countries troops ??

[wvopfor81]

It is a %u201C war on terrorism %u201C there are few ways to win that war %u2026 change is the best way not capitulation

[j-whitman]

WV,, do I think our pres intentionally lied ?? I think he was purposly miss-led,, & it certainly wouldn't be the 1st time nor the last he has lied to America. now would it ?? WE NEED THE TRUTH

[wvopfor81]

Still our military isn't funded for war.

You%u2019ll have to clarify that is congress%u2019 roll

[wvopfor81]

Is war illegal when the UN dose not authorize it?



I say no. every person and nation has the right to self defense%u2026 our Intel identified IQ as a threat

[j-whitman]

WV,,, Now the administration has turned over Afaganistan to NATO -- they've turned over Iraq to others also,,,, THEY WERE WRONG,,This whole concept of changing the Middle East,, Hell, look what this administration has done to affairs throughout the Middle East,, set our efforts back 50 years. Still our military isn't funded for war.

[wvopfor81]

Do you think that the pres willing and intently lied to the American people and the UN to start a war that was not in the defense of free nations US/Europe
That would be a crime%u2026. However that is not the case %u2026 I see that the administration felt that it was doing what it thought was right ,,,, a lot of people thought it was right %u2026

[feelfree1]

-was Saddam compelled to comply to the resolutions//inspections (yes)

-Did he violate the resolutions (Several, yes, but as I have already indicated, he was complying with the UN weapons inspectors at a level which they felt that they could complete their inspections. They Were not allowed to complete their work, by the Bush regime, since the Bush regime was really not interested in the results anyway. Their interest was invadind Iraq.)

-What was the next step for continuing to play games (that was never determined. The Bush regime took it upon itself to launch an "illegal war of aggression" against Iraq to resolve the situation, which they have no legal right to do)

[j-whitman]

WV,, THAT'S WHY WE NEED ANSWERS,,,, IRAQ SIMPLY WAS NOT A THREAT,,

[j-whitman]

WV,,, Saddam was a bad guy, no doubt. However during the runnup our own Patriot missle systems shot down at least 4 of our & allie's aircraft. They never told you did they?? Iraq actually kept terrorists out, they even had an Office of Counterterrorism..... YES HYPE,,, JUST LIKE WHAT HOMELAND SECURITY REPORTS SAID ON HOW THEY MADE US SAFER,,, MOSTLY HYPE.. IRAQ WAS NOT A THREAT.

[wvopfor81]

Sorry I don%u2019t see it as CYA %u2026. I see that the administration felt that it was doing what it thought was right ,,,, a lot of people thought it was right %u2026

[wvopfor81]

WV,, Not even in the Eerald City is electricity that good.


??? and you question is ...

[j-whitman]

WV,,,, You see that's the big problem with this administration,,, While our brave are risking thier lives, the White House plays CYA.. Only it's not your A thier covering, it's thiers,,, They still won't adaquately fund our troops.. If your in Iraq you would see it yourself. JUSTICE & ACCOUNTABILITY WE DEMAND OF OTHERS,, WHY NOT OURSELVES ??
