Why we invaded Iraq

[The.Jolly.Roger]

I wish everyone would get off the Bush bashing train and get real. I don't know if anyone remembers or not, but, not too long ago thousands of people were killed as was a great spectacle of American culture. This is not excusable, and someone had to pay.
Why wouldn't Saddam be suspected....he constantly spoke out against America, and you just can't do that in such a sensitive situation, or your country might get blown up.
Anyone who thinks Iraq did not have Weapons of Mass Destruction..is just fooling themselves. He didn't let inspectors in, he broke UN policy...other countries like France did not want in this war..Solely BECAUSE THEY HAD OIL INTERESTS/CONTRACTS in that country and invading it would compromise them.

This country stands for something very good--freedom/liberty etc....it also happens to be the most powerful country in the world by far--I think it is our responsibility to police the world in some fashion to prevent things like genocide, etc.....We cannot let the world go to #@%# around us until it caves in on us........as it did on 9/11...Iraq needed to be taken care of and Bush did that..we liberated that nation...the Bush Bashers only point out the bad things about what is going on in Iraq right now--nothing is perfect---they forget to mention all the good things happening there as a result.

Any soldier there will tell you that they are proud to be an American soldier, and that they are proud of what they are doing in Iraq.....they will also tell you that they are proud of their president and agree that their purpose is legitimate there. In times such as these...it's important that we rally behind our leader and trust the right thing is being done..I think it's great to liberate people from tyranny..and due to our status in the world...it IS our responsibility to make sure no humans have to go through that.....We are all human, no matter where we are in the world.

Bush is genuine and has a philosophy that he will not stray from no matter how the polls are looking. He says what he does, and does what he says.

Leave BUSH ALONE!!

[George Bush]

Make up your mind. Is the vote about Bush or the Iraq invasion?

Fix your poll, then I'll have my say and leave.

[color=yellowgreen]I'm not going to get into the Iraq war thing much - we've been through that before a few times here and it's kinda old. Except, um, it's pretty certain there aren't any WOMD at this point - I believe Dubya was even looking under his desk for them the other day...[/color]
[color=yellowgreen][/color]
[color=yellowgreen]However, I will say that I am not a sheep and will never blindly rally behind anybody and trust that the right thing is being done - especially if politics is in any way shape or form involved.[/color]
[color=yellowgreen][/color]
[color=yellowgreen]Additionally, I do agree that Bush is genuine - a genuine idiot that is, and I have no intention of leaving him alone - quite the opposite I assure you...[/color]

I numbered the points for the sake of defusing confusion.

1. Someone had to pay? Ok then, how about Osama... you know, the guy actually responsible for 911? Oh wait thats right, we pulled most of our forces out of Afganistan to take Iraq... without finding Osama first.

2. OMG! He constantly spoke out again the U.S. in a time of war???!!! The infidel! Ok then, by your logic we should now go invade France, Germany, Russia, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan... oh, and we also need to wipe out a very large % of our own country. Nice logic.

3. :lol:

4. You don't talk to many soldiers do you? Some would be more accurate. The extreme naivity of your statement is amazing. As far as proud of what they are doing there and supporting Bush that is.

5. :lol:

6. :lol: :lol:

7. Nope.

Edit: Oops. Sorry I forgot to add "Baaaaaaah!"

This is the main thing Bush is associated with...and will be remembered by. You don't think Iraq harbored all kinds of terrorists....you really don't think they had WOMD....and uneducated liberal you must be...naive at that.

There isn't a politician that doesn't practice politics, but Bush is a more genuine person----he says what he does, and does what he says....

And fun is made of alot of things during those dinners...don't even.

[George Bush]

[color=yellowgreen]Oooo, a challenge! I like it! [/color]

[color=yellowgreen][/color]
[color=yellowgreen]I'm ready - where ya wanna start? Ya already lost the weapons of mass destruction thing, so how about "is America responsible for the welfare of the rest of the world thing". Nah, that's purely personal opinion and pretty boring. [/color]
[color=yellowgreen][/color]
[color=yellowgreen]Should we be the world's police? I'll let forum members of other nationalities weigh in on that one first...[/color]
[color=yellowgreen][/color]
[color=yellowgreen]How about "Bush is genuine and has a philosophy that he will not stray from no matter how the polls are looking. He says what he does, and does what he says."? Hmm, I could come up with a few examples of how he's changed according to polls - like Condi Rice testifying before the 9/11 Commission, but there's plenty of examples to the opposite - so that's just a test of who has the biggest bladder and can piss the longest.[/color]
[color=yellowgreen][/color]
[color=yellowgreen]Soldiers are proud to serve. I'll give you that one. They are and should be and we're damn proud of them and grateful for their sacrifices.[/color]
[color=yellowgreen][/color]
[color=yellowgreen]So what do you want to talk about - whether the war was/is a good thing? Please no, been there done that.[/color]
[color=yellowgreen][/color]
[color=yellowgreen]Anything else?[/color]

[The.Jolly.Roger]

Ummmm...you whole list doesn't make sense...you know exactly what I'm talking about....invade France...they didn't speak against us..they spoke against our actions...
Saddam is a genocidal maniac tyrant......he needed to be taken out of power POINT BLANK...and it is naive not to agree.

MOST soldiers are PROUD to be there...I have a brother, cousin, and 2 friends over there RIGHT now...and they are PROUD to be there.

SPREAD FREEDOM BABY!!!
