Biff, Is that which you've just described supposed to be the WMD development program over which we went to war? Do you not remember how those weapons were described by Cheney? and the President? and Powell? and Rice? and Rumsfeld? I can't believe that you are claiming that this piddling amount of weapons proves that Iraq was a threat.
|
That was just one example. I've read the declaration of war, you can find it on the State Departments' website. I know what it says. If that example of weaponry wasn't enough for you, I am sure one of the rogue groups in Iraq would be happy to send one your way. I wasn't referring to some dinky 'shoulder to air' dart. |
|
I didn't realize murders only happen in cities with Democrat mayors. I'll have to keep that in mind. So the soldiers died saving us from Iraq? Was Iraq planning to attack us? Change your screen name if you're going to post garbage like this. |
|
Great point. The billions we are spending in Iraq would have been far better spent on law enforcement here. I'm glad you've seen the light. |
|
I certainly remember what was said in the Declaration of War, it can also be found at the State Departments' website. I wasn't talking about some dinky shoulder fired missile... What makes you think, all of a sudden Iraq wasn't a threat? |

Do you think Bush or Cheney care about these soldiers? certainly not.You are claiming that the liberals are putting a spin on this(and dont go bothering to claim me as one...i claim neither liberal or conservative)The people in charge dont give a shit how many lives are lost in their pursuit towards whatever goal theyre after. My dad must walk on crutches for the rest of his life, and i have to worry bout my lil brother coming home here shortly when he leaves for iraq. and no one can give me an explanation on why.Also, its painfully obvious the american public wants us out of iraq, and yet Bush/cheney refuse to get off their horses and admit they made a mistake.

"We know where they [WMD] are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."--Donald Rumsfeld.
Maybe those were the ones you had in mind? |

Ted Yost - - sorry about the multiple posts to the same question. I didn't think the first one got posted in string.

The people who need to be reminded that during the Reagan administration Saddam Hussein was Uncle Sam's best buddy have a lot of explaining to do to the Iraqis. |
|
As opposed to you sweeping them under the rug and trivializing their sacrifice with irrelevant statistics about other people being killed elsewhere? |

listen, i cannot see why we ( bush haters ) or liberals are to blame. all you hear from the bush peolpe ( cheney and mccain ) is that our troops are heroes and they deserve our respect. answer me this, why do our wounded soldiers come home treated like they are. thats right, us liberals, go look at walter reed or the other va "care givers". you are so blinded by fox news to ignore. our troops do deserve our respect and honor. they also deserve our care. wait, that would mean a bigger govt. cant have that. look at who has the bigger govt. your friend bush. you need to look at all angles and just dont believe fox news. they are well documented for not giving a damn about telling the truth ( see the reporters court case about being forced to lie or be fired by fox ). theres nothing wrong with being a liberal. id sure rather be that than a republican.( look at the numbers )

Headline:
The US was defeated today by a combination of Iraqi gangsters, Iranian Jihadists, and the US media. Citing a death toll of 4,000 US dead in the five year confict the US government retreated from Iraq. The US government is also expected to withdraw from California in the next few weeks citing the dangers from 6400 murders in the last 5 years. A new coalition government of MS13, Then New Black Panthers, The San Francisco city government, and the Los Angeles Times is expect to announce the formation of a new government. |

More Grim Markers.
42,000 people killed anually in U.S auto "accidents", 15,000 people murdered anually is U.S etc, etc. How many babies "murdered" per year. Thanks liberals. And shut up and clean up. |
|
That is a great quote! The ones that I mentioned were found, and they are considered WMD's. |
|
We're not after the Iraqi citizens. Yes Saddam was looked upon as a friend in previous administrations, even before Reagan was sworn in. But times change, views change. Look at Iran, they were once BBF's, until their Government was overthrown. That was scary. Look at the USSR and the Republic of Georgia, once long-time neighboring enemies. Now its Russia and the Republic of Georgia getting along, so many years afterward. Circumstances change things. |
|
I thought Bush said we were victorious in Iraq already? So if at any point in time we leave I guess it means we lost. We already invaded and took over the country. I thought that was what Bush wanted. |
|
Are you kidding? So auto accidents are caused by liberals? What does any of this have to do with the war? Stop giving real conservatives a bad name with your stupidity. |

Why, may I ask, is a number - be it 1,000, 4,000 or 40,000 reflective of anything more significant than if that same number were one more or one less? A death is a death. And each and every one is truly a tragedy. But the fact of the matter is that war is hell, and people unfortunately die as a result of it. I am personally offended by the media making anymore of an issue with the 4,000th death in Iraq than what they did with the 3,999th. But then again too, what can one expect from a profession that attempts to sensationalize every possible worldly event that it can - even if only in numbers.

The problem isn't that the media made an issue of the 4000th U.S. military death so much as that they are pushing news of the occupation to the back pages and pretty much ignoring the 3,999th and the 3,998th and the 4,001th, etc. These are young Americans who go off to war hoping that somehow they will be making America safe, yet they are put to work doing something which has the opposite effect. Something's wrong here.
