Comments on: Have We Forgotten Iraq?

Washington Post: While Iraq Celebrates the Pullback of U.S. Troops From Cities, Most Americans Seem Indifferent

"Have We Forgotten Iraq?"

Yes.
And media outlets like the Washington Post didn't help that fact.

Joe, take off the Tin Foil and visit us here in REALITY. THAT was NOT the reason we invaded Iraq and everyone knows it. You are getting outright embarrassing with this childish junk. We were told and this is ALL on tape if you care to pull it up.... We were told that Bin Laden didn't matter anymore and we couldn't wait on the inspectors at the UN. We HAD to invade or face Nukes in our cities. Isn't it time to grow up?

Hey Joe :-) I'm all for saving the world - as a world effort of course, but much of this nonsense is just diversionary and couterproductive. We so often spend time looking outside and an insignificant amount of time looking inward and protecting our own foundation. Our efforts are fragmented and chaotic. All too often we enable rather than assist in development and progress. The Peace Corp certainly demonstrates the philosophy of providing the learning and the tools to achieve independent success. The Countries (including this one) receiving consideration, assistance or aid of any type, must learn to take ownership of their futures and destiny.

I am well Joe and hope you are also. Summer in Colo. is wonderful. We had lots of rain so it is very lush and beautiful right now. I'm still working hard at my new job and on my home remodeling. Kids got to go to Northern California for 3 weeks, so I'm on my own for a bit. I'm very happy they were able to go, but miss them already :-)

I hope everything is going well in your life. I do miss the old format and being able to find and catch-up with my board buddies.

Take Care!

George W. Bush WAS and will ALWAYS be responsible for Iraq. The fact that Congress approved force in NO WAY made him use it or cause the lies he told before and after using it. The American People rejected his LIES a long time ago and hardly anyone who has any sense of fairness in them holds anyone OTHER than Bush/Cheney responsible. The worst Attack on the US took place on their watch and THEY invaded a Country that had NOTHING to do with that attack. Anyone who thinks the pages of History will say, "Well it's okay that Bush/Cheney did what they did because Congress voted to allow them. That's INSANE!!

It required BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLE TO START, FUND, AND CONTINUE TO FUND IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough said! Enough leftwing LIES!

Iraq has Weapons of Mass Distruction that can and will be used against our nation! Iraq has LINKS to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda! Those were the lies and all remember the Terror Alerts and Color Codes. THEY were LIES told to this NATION and used to INTIMIDATE Congress. Either you have a very short memory or you simply do NOT want to remember. This is what should have happened the MINUTE the Worst in our History and Darth found out there were no Weapons. Iraq WAS NOT then nor is NOT NOW the front in the War on Terror. That to was a LIE also!

Bravo! what he said. Bush is a piece of POOP!

[Newster1]

Public opinion long ago showed that a majority of Americans had concluded that the invasion ordered by President George W. Bush was a mistake."

"by gramps1941
The liberation of Iraq has become non newsworthy because it is no longer a bludgeon for mainstream broadcast media and the radical left to beat on a Republican Administration"

Wrong GRAMPS, wake up and smell the coffee, this isn't WW2 and our being attacked by Japan, this was an illegal invasion of another country on a Tonkin Bay style LIE to the tune of $10 Billion a month for 6 years. People are indifferent now because its been a freaking DAILY news item 24/7/365 for SIX FREAKING YEARS!!! we're sick and tired of hearing about Iraq!!!!!!!!! Were sick of spending TEN BILLION DOLLARS A MONTH on a kraphole that hates our guts while our schools, roads, bridges, economy, jobs and everything else falls apart.

How can any person with a conscience ever forget Iraq? Anyone with a lick of decency would be ashamed of what has transpired over there. And to think we tried to deliver democracy and now when we finally do exit, they may go back to their old way of life. Who ever thought they would resort back to the very thing they came from? That is if the extremists radicals get their way. Too much history and not enough true democracy, and they fall back into their comfort zone.

Its all about Michael Jackson. Sorry Obama, you can't have it both ways, you can't have a following stupid enough to vote for you and smart enough to keep up with current events!

[USASTILLONTOP]

Forget? More like the media forcing everything else down our throats. Micheal Jackson's death has overshadowed everything else. You'd think Jesus himself just died. Give us a break. There are way more important things going on.

Hi; in complete agreement with you, re the media; without Charlie Rose, C-Span and Ap reports on the Internet, I have to turn to the BBC to find news that is not entertainment pop op. It's ridiculous!
