- the war is legal
the resumption of hostilities was only a matter of time since iraq broke the ceasefire agreement.....
blame saddam for iraq%u2026%u2026. Even clintoon and the dems wanted the resumption of hostilities back in 1998
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
Moreover, no international law can prevent the United States from taking actions to protect its vital interests, when it is manifestly clear that there is a choice to be made between law and survival. I believe, however, that such a choice is not presented in the case of Iraq. Indeed, should we decide to proceed, that action can be justified within the framework of international law rather than outside it. In fact, though a new UN resolution may be helpful in building international consensus, the existing resolutions from 1991 are sufficient from a legal standpoint. - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

Ms. Logan graces us once again, with another insubstantial, yet breathless presentation.
Re: "Dhakil Qassim, mayor of Sinjar, a town near where the attacks occurred, said al Qaeda in Iraq was behind the bombings, citing what he said were Kurdish government intelligence reports."
Blaming "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq" for these bombings, based on alleged "Kurdish government intelligence reports", no less?
Bombers slaughtering innocent people, uninvolved in the conflict?
Near simultaneous detonations?
Sorry. The "foreign fighters" in Iraq have never numbered more than a few thousand, by any serious evaluation. This is no "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq" act...more like "al-CIA'da-in-Iraq", or "al-Mossada-in-Iraq".
The Bush terror network is still attempting to foment as much chaos, division, hatred, and fear, among the Iraqis as possible.
Since the people of Iraq obviously have every right to defend themselves against the brutal and illegal invaders of their country, the Bush regime must conjure a greater enemy for them, in the hopes that they can trick some Iraqis into joining the battle against the notorious and imaginary, "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq".- Reply to this comment

- Hitler also micro managed the War. tbweb

demonic-rat congress made the usa lose in nam, now they want to do the same thing iniraq now, thanks but no thanks demonic-rats
congress can%u2019t win a war, But they can sure lose one, right skippy
Iraq pullout plan a rare wartime rebuke
The passage of the legislation in many ways surpasses congressional efforts to end the Vietnam War, a longer and far deadlier war for U.S. forces. Congress went years before it was able to agree on legislation significantly challenging presidential war policy, holding some 94 roll call votes on the war between 1966 and 1972, according to data provided by the Senate Historian office.

viet nam
In sum, Congress played a very important role in building opposition to an unpopular and failed Cold War intervention. Legislators emerged as major voices of skepticism, criticism, and outright opposition to Vietnam. They checked the hawks in the administration who refused to believe the facts on the ground. Congress was ultimately pivotal to placing pressure on the Nixon administration

The last American troops left Vietnam on 29 March 1973.
The following year there were frequent violations of the peace treaty.

- -tbweb, got to engage some of the incompetent idiots sitting around the oval table and who are reporting to Walking-Liar. They are paid to do what we're doing here; DEBATING.
Posted by grazinggoat at 09:41 PM : Aug 14, 2007,,,
The Debate here is real and authentic because we are free to agree or disagree and often do. It's perceived President Bush only surrounds himself with those who agree with his vision and dismisses those who don't like those Generals he keeps replacing in Iraq. There are many references to Hitler when it comes to President Bush and I personally don't agree with any of them, but Hitler did have one bad trait that resulted in Germany's defeat and that was surrounding himself with only those who agreed with his vision and dismissing those who didn't, another bad trait was not wanting to hear bad news or reports, so those reporting to Hitler only reported good news even when the news was bad. Hitler also micro managed the War. Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it! - Reply to this comment
- Listening to General Casey Army Chief of Staff at the National Press Club --- Our strategic reserves are gone, our army is out of balance & stressed,, The only ones being trained for convetional warfare are majors & above... Our troops have just enough home time for traning in counter insurgency.. & cannot sustain for lengthy periods............ They need 18 months at home.... What he didn't say is we need to double the size of the army --- He's still pushing Cheney/Rumsfield modulation idea,,, which relies on private contract security.

- I am so sick and tired of seeing and reading about these so called warriors of God,blowing up innocent children,and women who are trying to better themselves from a government who kept them at bay for centuries.We need to make a stand now.Tell all the good people to line up and air-transport them to safety,in fact it would be cheaper in the long run on our tax dollars.Then give Iran an option to shape up or be annihilated by our latest nuclear weapons,and if the rest of the world don't agree then they can eat their oil!!

Ten more dead Americans- dead from battling ghosts, for no good reason, and a for a lot of bad ones.

"THE U.S. occupation of Iraq has not liberated the Iraqi people, but has made life worse for most Iraqis."
"Tens of thousands of U.S. service people have been killed or maimed, and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis have lost their lives as a result of the U.S. invasion in 2003, the ongoing occupation, and the violence unleashed by them."
"Iraq's infrastructure has been destroyed, and U.S. plans for reconstruction abandoned. There is less electricity, less clean drinking water, and more unemployment today than before the U.S. invasion."
"All of the justifications initially provided by the U.S. for waging war on Iraq have been exposed as lies; the real reasons for the invasion %u2014 to control Iraq's oil reserves and to increase U.S. strategic influence in the region %u2014 now stand revealed."
...
We call on the U.S. to get out of Iraq %u2014 not in six months, not in a year, but now.
