Prinzowhales- "Which one of the three pro-war candidates are you discussing? Clinton and McCain, or Obama......."

Uh whatever!!! Any of these people if they win will become the commander of a military AT WAR. That doesn''t make any of them "PROWAR". On the other hand, Bush and Co. DOES ACT PROWAR.

Which one of the three pro-war candidates are you discussing? Clinton and McCain, or Obama who puts on an anti-war front...

mrmazerati,,,, Not well at all, republicans are having major problems in many cities around this country.

[mrmazerati]

Hmm... I''m curious to know how well the pro-war candidate will fare in the general election.

Hillarygrl34,,,,, The Iraq War has nothing to do with defending our freedoms --- This was a War of Agression

[getcentered]

This war in Iraq is EXACTLY what the experts (the CIA, Pentagon) said it was going to be.

Fools rush in and that is what we did going into Iraq, so calling the people wanting this war stupid or arrogant fits the bill just fine.

The military commanders do not want unnecessary deaths, but right now, they are on the ground in Iraq, by order of President Bush. People are dying all around our troops and they cannot do much about it.

If the experts said it would be this way, why did we not take the time to create a better plan? I think I know part of the reasons: "politics".

The people wanting this war needed it to BEGIN quickly or it might never come to pass.

How unfortunate for our brothers and sisters in the military that they can be wasted along side of Iraqi people without a known, true and just cause.

If you don''t think the public should be up in arms about the US involvement in Iraq then you%u2019re not listening and all the while you will resort to name calling and bashing the dissent to protect your honor for supporting incompetent leaders who push cursory policies.

If you think this war in Iraq is a "war by all those who love freedom" you are sadly mistaken.

Iraq is a fool%u2019s war. Getting out of the fools war will require the fools to be ousted, being replaced by folks who can actually reason.

We might not own Iraq but we certainly are paying for it.

Hillarygrl34,,,, That''s right, This is the greatest Nation on this Earth ----- Why do you want to keep destroying it & tolerating GOP policies that have done nothing but destroyed our image in the world ????

[prinzowhales]

We past the 4,000 mark long ago in dead. Bush doesn''t count them dead unless they die in Iraq...if they die in the air, at a hospital in Germany or the States from their wounds...they don''t make the dead-in-Iraq tabulations.

Also, the thousands of suicides aren''t counted...these are directly related to PTSD, vaccinations and pesticide and other contaminants as well as the anti-depressants the Regime dispenses--the SSRIs.

Vaccines cause the brain''s immune response to rev up and this makes it more susceptible to poisons crossing the blood brain barrier...this low grade inflamation leads top increased agents in the brain tied to depression...SSRI''s are tied to not only school shooters but suicides as well.

I''m sorry, but who are these Bush and Cheney guys? I dimly remember two people with those names, but can''t remember what they did or who they worked for.

Nice curse914- "The filth running our nation understand the power of numbers."

They sure do!

Like way back in 2002, Bush was saying 100,000''s of jobs were being created in the states and he wasn''t wrong, he just didn''t tell us that the jobs being created were TSA, DHS, private armies hired for Iraq, etc, etc........

These guys bring new depth to the definition of manipulative.

curse914 - "If that is the case, you should really be behind the movement to get off the Saudi Oil spigot."

Nice one!
We''ll turn the neo-cons into environmentalists!!!!

I couldn''t agree more about the need to get off of our dependance on oil. Does that mean we actually agree on something. Whoops!

[getcentered]

The deception metastasizes as the months and causalities mount...............

The President who was never deigned to go to Dover Air Force Base to salute the fallen who are coming home says no photographs of their coffins can be permitted because that would hurt the feelings of the families. This is false, tragically false; the real reason is that day after day the photos would starkly reveal the price of Bush%u2019s folly.

Posted by curse914 at 04:01 PM : Mar 24, 2008, "And we helped setup this tin pot dictator who had a handful of fascist supporters at the start of the Baathist parities humble beginnings."

Times change and so do our enemies. We also supported the Taliban in their fight against the Soviets. But, when they took in al Queda our position changed. World politics are complex and ever changing our enemies today may well be our friends tomorrow and vice versa. You really need to keep up. Of course, we had to defend Kuwait. And yes it probably had something to do with oil. In case you hadn''t noticed we are dependant on oil for the time being. It is therefore in the best interest of the US to keep oil flowing onto the international market.

Cheney said this and Rice said that...How many times are you going to post that same old dribble?

getcentered,

You lost me with that one. Were you trying to make a point?

[getcentered]

"If we had gone to Baghdad, we would have been all alone. It would have been a U.S. occupation of Iraq."

"Once you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein''s government, then what are you going to put in its place?"

"That''s a very volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government of Iraq, you can easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off."

"It''s a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq."

Di-ck Chenney 1994

But in terms of Saddam Hussein being there, let''s remember that his country is divided, in effect. He does not control the northern part of his country. We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt.

Posted by getcentered at 03:46 PM : Mar 24, 2008, "What the UN??? Since when did a neo-con care about the UN?"

Most of us don''t care about the UN. It is the liberals that will point to the fact that we shouldn''t have gone into Iraq because we couldn''t build a coalition. That being liberal code for the UN wouldn''t agree with it.
