I don't agree, but whatever.



So, Ron, are you saying that we had troops guarding the expolsives, and they were overwhelmed, and unable to defend their post? I didn't hear anything about that.

>What do you suggest?
Sounds to me your logical answer would be:
Withdraw all US troops and let SH out of prison.
After all most of you doves are saying we should not have gone in.
If not what do you suggest?

get the troops out imediatley yes, saddam can be trird in the world court and bush might make an appearance there himself just to explain himse


>Is this war that bad?
Looks like we're doing great compared to other wars.
1000 killed in 2 years was 2 month in other conflicts.

__________________________________________________

wow, it seems pretty bad to me, no doubt that 1300 lisn't that much comparatively. but what about the finacial cost for us long term. and this thing isn't showing any signs of slowing down. they keep on saying that there are a few tens of thousand insurgents. well they must be some super fucking men if they can cause all this mess. i think theres a hell of alot more than that and that they are imbedded in the american selected iraqi government and troops as well.

>Far less then those killed in 9/11 and they were not expecting to fight for their lives.

_______________________________________________

damn bro, who should we invade for the skydivers who dies last year?


>I love this country. I love the brave men & women that have fought and still fight to spread freedom across this planet. Seems to me we should be doing more.



_______________________________________________

big balls and no smarts just gets you killed though. i love this country just like you and the people going to fight because they are brothers. but fight to spread fredom? how do you do that? you bomb innocent familys , call it collateral damage, and then hocus pocus......your free? we got saddam and they are all thankful for it. now get the fuck out. its alright if i fight with my brother, but if you fight with him i wanna kill you....get it , we aren't making no friends or spreding freedom or democracy or whatever.

like bush said ...."mission accomplished" so let's get the fuck out.......unlass it wasn't about freedom and wmd and saddam after all.....hmmmmmm.

Within the constraints of the poll, I voted for Bush and us for electing him.

I wanted to vote for SH first and foremost, but that option in the poll included responsibility for 911. I can't perpetuate that myth.

Having said that, I'm very glad SH is out of power, but I think Bush's arrogance and lack of diplomatic skills put us in much more of a quagmire than was necessary.
If say, Tony Blair were the president, I think he could have mustered a lot more international support and cooperation, and the situation might very well be more stable now.

i meant for any one of those saddam reasons to be a choice, not all together.....sorry, should have been clearer.

>But as for evidence...Lets see, he had WMD's (can't deny that) and he stated he hated America and wanted us to suffer (Can't deny that either)...

So lets see, we have a guy that hates us, had WMD's and even tried to kill a President..

Yeah, I'd say he was a threat.



>I ask for proof of your claims that Bush lied, and you can't provide any...cool thing about America is you have to PROVE a person is quilty...Somehting you have not been able to do.

No. The US got it wrong. Lies or "bad intel", the US got it wrong.

It's good to see that you now recognize that the US got it wrong. Pity that Bush can't acknowledge making a mistake - that's the first step to recovery.

What would Jesus have done?

Where do you get that impression from my reply? I was replying to the incessant Monday-morning quarterbacking that some do, with the benefit of knowing what is known now.

I supported the invasion at the time it happened, and I still support it today. We are doing good things over there, overall.

Wait, now you're justifying taking our nation to war and over a thousand of our soldiers dead, to catch an attempted murderer?

Well lets see.

1. You claim to hate me.
2. You say you want me to die.
3. You have weapons that could do it.
4. You have used those weapons before, so I know you will kill.
5. You have tried to kill a former President, so I know you are serious about hating me.

Seems to me pretty clear that you are a danger.

Ok....that's a much more thorough explanation, and an understandable view point. Although only 4 of the 5 of those things are true about me :P

But take those 5 things, and put yourself in the shoes of Kim Jong-Il or Ali Khamenei. Couldn't they say the same thing about Bush?

See and I have tried to defuse the situation by offering to buy you dinner....I could have invaded, but that involves travel and I'm kinda busy.;)

Yep. Except I don't think we tried to kill anyone....yet.

So we may have motive, means, but we don't have intent yet.

We'll if you think going in was a bad idea then locking up SH would be wrong too. If you want to put SH on trail then you logically believe the means justified then ends.

I'm not even going to touch the socialist idea of a world court. The people of iraq have enough reasons to put SH on trial and put him to death. And if not then a US Military lead trail should do the trick.

That is an illogical comparison. I would say that the skydiver them selves should make all efforts to stay safe. But interesting that you avoid answering yet included that in your response.

I love this country. I love the brave men & women that have fought and still fight to spread freedom across this planet. Seems to me we should be doing more.



Spreading freedom and tolerance is the only path to peace. That requires wars and killing people. Just asking that people be nice has not helped in the past 50 years. Hopefully only the enemy die but evil people like putting the innocent in the way. I think we went to a lot of effort to reduce the innocent getting killed. I have heard Bush say this all along. Maybe you never listen to him. Look where the enemy is coming from. Either from heavy repressed or evil dictatorships.

they keep on saying that there are a few tens of thousand insurgents.



The enemy seems stupid for coming into a country where we would be legally allowed to kill them. It sucks but at least we don't have to invade Iran and if and when we do then it will be all that much easier.

Why do you think we bombed the hell out of SH's palaces and personal residences at the start of the war?



I was refering to Lil Kim and Ali Kazam.

Right...who Bush put on par with Hussein with his Axis of Evil declaration.

If someone said, I hate you, Joe Blow, and Joe Shmoe, you three comprise an Axis of Evil. Then he tried to kill Joe Shmoe, wouldn't you think he's a threat to you as well?
