- Actually, the "majority" of Iraquis are VERY happy to be rid of Saddam.. It is the minority, who lost their power with his ouster, and alien fighters, who are causing the problems...

- I am sure that the attitude of the american people would change greatly if they were not so shelterd...let the secret police come crashing through their doors in the wee hours of the morning, raping their women and assasinating their men....

Seems to me that there are some of our troops on trial for doing that exact same thing. 99.9% of our troops are honorable and doing their best in an unwinnable war, but this just shows you can't tar everyone with the same brush. The vast majority of Iraqi's just want to live peaceful lives, but we bombed them and gave them a civil war. I'm sure they're going to just love us for that. - Reply to this comment

I respect your right to your opinion and can I just state that I will not descend to targeting you with personal insults...
I think you forget that in 1941 we went to war against an enemy that attacked us first... you may also realise that in 1941 civilised nations were essentially in a war of survival against Nazism... in summary 1941 was a war of necessity ...not choice
In contrast Iraq did not attack US... Iraq posed no threat to the US... the case for war against Iraq was confected for reasons of neo-colonialism and strategic dominance... you may or may not recall that North Korea was the greatest geo-political threat we faced before and after 9/11... and as for freedom and democracy... what about the long-suffering Burmese, North Koreans or Saudi's?
If Iraq has become a "problem" for us it is one we ourselves have created... we broke it remember? Iraq was not a haven for terrorists before we got there... we created it remember? Now in order to prop up its failed policy and save its reputation... the administration continues to talk up a threat....
Lies got us into Iraq and lies will keep us there.... - Reply to this comment

I'm sure they're just as thrilled to know that the US (under Reagen and with the help of Donal Rumsfeld) sold Saddam the ingredients in the gas. Saddam was only supposed to use it on the Iranians, but hey thems the breaks, right? Sometimes your puppet doesn't always do what you want it to do. - Reply to this comment

- The members of the greatest generation in the 1930's and '40's fought a genuine war of freedom against a worldwide evil. It was a noble and honorable fight. The war in Iraq has no resemblance to that war at all beyond the fact that people are dying. The war in Iraq is a filthy little war of conquest. An armed robbery in which our troops have been cynically used as nothing more then a gun or club to try to mug Iraq with. It's based on lies and deception from the highest level of our government and it's sole purpose was to steal oil and because Bush wanted to show his daddy that he's not really the family screw up. That he can be as good of a son as his brother Jeb in daddy's eyes. Of course his true character (or rather lack of) has shown through. He really is a complete ****k up who is in way over his head. There is nothing noble or honorable about it.

- OK. I am a soldier and I cannot wait to go to Iraq. I for one want to do my part instead of whining like a child behind a rock. I'm so sick of liberal BS, Were there because we want to be no one has to hold a gun to my head or order me to go I am more than happy too and my Friends, "Both Marines" are going for there second terms. We are all field combatants and we all agree that our job is in Iraq. Its what we want to do. So all these news reports and liberal LIARS! can stop posting stories about how 3 soldiers in 300,000 committed war crimes. or how 2 guys from minnesota have mentall issues since returning from war. THEY DID NOT BELONG ON A BATTLEFIELD! if you cant handle it then dont join to start. Bottom line is we are not there because we have to be we are there because we choose to be and we are doing good. so take your liberal BS home.
