It's an oil war. They shouldn't have started it in the first place. Now it's too late... They said terrorists were in there... They weren't, but now they ARE. The Iraq thing sucks. It's all hopeless now... |

I was for it and I still am. After 9/11 America was scared and we did not want another terrorist attack to occur. So when Saddam Hussein kept delaying the inspection by the U.N we got afraid that he might be hiding weapons or that he might have been buying himself time to move them to another location (if he had any). So I think we did the right thing by moving in and invading Iraq to avoid a possible disaster in the future. Now, of course, we know that he didn't have any weapons of mass destruction, but what if he did? What if he had weapons of mass destruction and America just sat back to watch everything happen? He might have used those weapons against us or another country and everyone would have been wondering why we didn't go to war with them to prevent it. Everyone I knew wanted to go to war with them, but after finding out we were wrong people felt stupid, so they went saying things like "We shouldn't have gone to war!" "George Bush is stupid!" and all that other shit. Well, George Bush is the best thing that can happen to America at this time because we need a president who's not afraid to go to war to protect the safety of the American citizens. Of course war isn't a good thing and many people die, but after a bunch of crazy Taliban motherfuckers drove two planes into the WTC and one into the Pentagon we have to let terrorists know that we can't be fucked around with. We even helped the people of Iraq by freeing them from a horrible dictator. And many of their citizens are thankful for that. And instead of us supporting the war and give our troops hope, we say it's hopeless so they think they're dying for nothing. ![]() Support Our Troops and God Bless America That's all Im gonna say. |

Worse, and more slanderous, is the liberal bullshit line that Bush lied. And they still use the line, like a gun to fire off a self-righteous shot, then disappear when confronted with the truth. At a critical time in our history, Bush as well as most Democratic leaders (and don't forget Saddam's own generals!) thought it was very likely there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, not unlike Saddam used on the Kurds, and worse. The administration had to choose from tons of intelligence tips, some contradictory pro and con, before the fateful decision. What would YOU do? If president, would you sit on your hands while Saddam stonewalled further, thus risking a possible attack by terrorists who acquired materials for WMD from Iraq in secret? Or would you err on the side of caution, and America's safety, by going in like we did? Can you imagine the liberal media headlines if Bush didn't decide to invade, and a terrorist supplied by Iraq in secret blew up the Los Angeles harbor. "Terrorists attack, Bush failed to protect the US!" would in essence be blared in bold headlines the world over. I would like to see proof that he lied. Convince me he LIED. Bring it on! |

I'm not sure how I felt about this war when it began because I wasn't involved with politics yet. Now I feel like it's gotten out of control. I feel like Bush lied because he misled us by saying there were WMDs, which they're we're not. The troops (which I do not hate for going-they felt it was they're duty. The best thing we can do for them now is bring them home) are not well equipped. And why did Bush take over a year to declare war against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11? The whole world would have helped us find Osama after the attacks. Instead, he waited to invade another country. The country may be without a dictator now, but there are less utilities, services, etc than before this liberation. And I'm tired of all this "liberals are nothing but a bunch of scaredy cats and cowards." The name game doesn't help. I could retaliate with something about conservatives, but I won't. |

President Bush is one of the worst things that has happened to us in a long time my friend. The national debt is now increasing at the rate of 600 billion dollars a year, that's the highest rate in American history. He led us into a war that now only 32% of Americans support. 59% of Americans think that the war was a mistake in the first place! The president works for the people. And the people he works for don't approve of him! His approval ratings are at 31%! And don't say "it doesn't matter what polls say", because it does. We can't forget, that the government works for us. So what we think of him matters a lot! Some call him "The Worst President In American History". Now, you may not agree, but the fact that that some even consider him for that title means a lot. 9-11 happened and around a year later, we're at war with Iraq? This is a country who by 2001 killed 0 Americans, made 0 known plots to attack America, and (as we know it) have had 0 WMDs. Osama Bin Laden has killed approximately 3,000 American citizens. Where the fuck is he? Should I make a list of all the names of people who died in 9-11? And you would think that this president who's "not afraid to protect America" would have found him and put him before justice, right? Well, it's been almost 5 years and we haven't found him. We had the chance, but the president turned the job of going in and getting him over to Somali Warlords. The same warlords who have been responsible for the downing of an American Black Hawk helicopter. |

The reason gas prices are so high is because of greedy oil company executives. OPEC has nothing to do with it. Canadian gas imports have nothing to do with it. Where we get out oil has nothing to do with it. The reason gas prices are so high is because of greedy oil company executives. |

When you attack a country that has not attacked you, YOU are the agressor. Residents who resist an invading agressor are FREEDOM FIGHTERS. This used to be what America believed, back in the old days. Somewhere along the line (I'm thinking when GW got elected) that all changed. Now it's ok for America to unleash shock and awe (the NEW technologically advanced form of Pearl Harbor ) on the Iraqui people (none of whom had anything to do with 9/11), occupy the country, overthrow the president, torture (mentally and physically) those taken prisoner (oh but we won't call them POWs so they have no rights under the Geneva convention). America has lost its way under GW. Apparently it's now WWII-era Japan. |

Bush said they had WMD's. They didn't. He said there were masses of people who hated Americans. Now there are even more people who used to like Americans but now they hate us. Now we've gone past the point of no return. I think we should pull out soon, but we have to be real. Our troops can't just suddenly pack up and LEAVE. Yes we've gotten rid of Saddam. Yes we've helped Iraq. But let's face it... we need to get out of the middle east. |
