The War with Iraq....a retrospective view

[Henry Hawk]

OK, I would agree about the biological weapons part of that, but is Iraq the only place capable of producing these weapons?  She did say "the leaders of a rogue state," and Iraq is not the only rogue state, just the only one we've invaded.  

I'm no military expert, but we can't attack all the countries, but we can make an example out of one.....and if we were united about this as a country, we would send a strong message...............but as it is...the dems are playing poltics at the expense of national security...

[Henry Hawk]

NOW THE DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED, THAT THERE NEVER WERE ANY WMD'S AND HE TOOK US TO WAR FOR HIS OIL BUDDIES??? Right!!!

[IYT]

toche'...

but, I thought democrats did..

Well, you'd have to ask a Democrat.  I'm more of a liberal libertarian, which I know makes no sense, but it's a very complex, hallucination of a world I live in (which isn't necessarily reality, thank God).

[IYT]

Well I'm no military expert either, but I've seen one on TV.  Yes Henry, all these Democrats you have quoted are hypocrits.  They are just doing their job as politicians.

We sure didn't pick a good one did we?

The point I'm trying to make is....that EVERYBODY in washington was convinced that BUSH needed to invade....HE DID.....and now that he did, and things did not go as smoothly as everyone believed it would......they are the ones lying instead of being united and trying to fix the problem...

Bush is the only one who is sticking to his guns and trying to see this thing through....

[Henry Hawk]

We sure didn't pick a good one did we? 

hind sight is 20/20...

easy to be armchair quarterbacks, but it is going to take a strong leader to correct this situation.....and so far Bush is the only one who seems fit to fix it....

True, I just figured someone in the CIA would have done a little research into what occupying a nation like Iraq would be like.  I see your point about the Dems being hypocrites and using this war for politics, but like I said before...it's their job.

You know, I'm not saying that the repbubs would be any different if the situation was flip flopped....but, on issues like Tax hikes, Gun Control, Abortion, Gay marriage.......play politics.................but when it comes to national security and our military men and women are at stake, lets quit the politics....imo

[IYT]

I completely agree, but even national security is a political matter to these folks in Washington.  Kind of makes you think "Hey, maybe our system could be improved."  How?  I don't know.  I know as a voter, I feel very misrepresented.

we need a change that's for sure...........clear across the board....I'm sick to death of politics....

Yes he does awol...it does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

no, republic credits won't do.  i'm a tiberian, jedi mind tricks don't work on me.

...pulling out and leaving would be a signal to Islamic militants that we don't have the stomach to win

and a signal to the rest of the world that we are "a force to be reckoned with" (an upstart kid that must be dealt with before they get out of hand)

btw, what happens when north korea decides that they don't have to penetrate american soil to hurt us, they can nuke iraq and leave us pretty much without a military...

and leaving the Iraqi people before they are ready to protect themselves would be like the "killing fields" of Vietnam....[/qoute]

good thing we're there to kill them before they can kill each-other.

[Bo D]

the "killing fields" of Vietnam....

Henry, wasn't that Cambodia?

[Henry Hawk]

Henry, wasn't that Cambodia?

Yes you are correct...Thanks, Bo...
