I agree that the people there need help, but what makes them more special than other countries in the region who are the same way or worse. Why are we not sending troops to those regions.
I just don't buy the whole, "they need our help" crap when there are much worse off countries than Iraq. Look at how many places in Africa that are 20 times worse than Iraq could imagine.
We were not sold on this war with the reason of helping the Iraqi people, so that is an after the fact BS reason.
I also do not believe that us being over there protects our future one bit. I do believe we are pouring money into an endless fire.
I do appreciate the troops over there doing what they are doing. I just think the leadership of this country has there thumb up their ass and are putting or troops through non-essential BS in Iraq, while blowing money at a staggering rate in the worst economic conditions the U.S. has seen in ages.
OK, back to our regularly scheduled thread programming.
Obama. (Although I don't like any of the candidates) I would like to give the Dems a chance this time, since the Repubs didn't run the country worth a damn for the past 8 years. Plus, I'm tired off hearing the same bullchit story from them. I think Obama might shake things up. I also don't trust Hilary as far as her dick is long.
Besides, I unlike others, am not afraid he will take away my guns. Whoever tries that can have them after the mag is empty, I am out of ammo and I attempt to throw it at them.
