jtk4 Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 that going into iraq was a bad idea now. Enough with the bullshit.The reason why we are all going to die is simple, instead of us working together as a country to actually defend ourselves all we do is fight amogst ourselves. What we lack is a president o canidate who can cross the lines and unify us. We lack good leadership, from both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtk4 Posted September 14 Author Report Share Posted September 14 La La LandTell me that spending 150 billion on that war and not shoring up our homeland makes us safer. 4000 illeagle immigrants come into our country everyday. 4000 and that is through the mexican border where it is more secure then the canadian. How about our ports where we are so underfunded and under staffed we only can check 1% of shit that comes through. How about using the national guard to help protect these borders instead of playing police and babysitters in Iraq. How about spending that money to help train and staff local law enforcement. you are in LALA land, and do not want to admit the fact we are not safer. Please explain how being in iraq makes us safer then doing any one of these things. I would love to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on we fucked up , just say it. Its ok. We are all gonna dieHonestly, I really believe that Saddam had WMD. Why wouldn't he let inspectors in? Do you think he was stalling in order to destroy or hide the weapons? Almost the entire terrain of Iraq is desert. Do you think we've checked every square inch of the country? The Iraqi-Syrian border. Could they have been moved to Syria? Iraq has always had a relationship with Syria, Saddam with fellow Ba'ath leader Hafez al-Asad (Ba'athism involves the establishment of a pan-Arab state) Although they aided the U.S. in the '91 Gulf War, they have become increasingly anti-American after recent developments including the U.S. pro-Israel stance and U.S. involvement in Lebanon.Now I know what you are thinking. "What's next? Do we invade Syria?" I honestly don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if it came down to it. Same thing with Iran. I hate to admit it but I feel that the U.S. must be on the offensive in the war on terror. Perhaps diplomacy will prevail. It didn't work in Iraq, but the recent breakthrough with the disarmament of Libya gives us hope. Saddam was extremely powerful and extremely insane, with an extreme hatred for the United States. That, in conjunction with harboring Hezbollah/Hamas factions, and possible WMD, poses a great threat to the U.S. and its citizens. IMO, the greatest threat (slightly ahead of Iran). So yes, I do feel MUCH safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mursa Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Honestly, I really believe that Saddam had WMD.. HAD !!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the rest of your reply , it's useless .........but the fact remains that there were UN weapons inspectors in Iraq before Bush decided to invade ....bush didn't want to give them time to find the WMD's cause he most probably knew they didnt exist ...so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh on that subject .

So yes, I do feel MUCH safer.There are many reasons he would not let inspectors in. Maybe he wanted people believe he had them. Who knows. So saddam is ahead of Iran but i still have him behind Al qaeida, lets see 200 billion and how many tropps. I think we might of been able to put a dent in osama and his travelling circus.DO you think after all the time and money it takes to create these weapons he would just give them away? Hand them to syria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvercetti Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I think that the war in iraq was a very good idea and remains as such. The problem, as we are now witnessing, is that for some reason (beyond me) george and his boys did not properly plan for the reconstruction. a successful mission in iraq is still possible, but it will require a longer period of time and greater political unity at home now. what aggravates me the most is how important this mission is and that there was no need to rush into it. I still agree with the neo-con foreign policy, but it sucks that its implementation in the region got started (and possibly fucked) in this terrible way. anyone with half a brain knew that success would be measured by the reconstruction...fucking kills me.
