I don't think what we are doing over there (which is attempting to stabilize a country in utter turmoil) is wrong. I believe that the initial situation in Iraq as to why we invaded, and the subsequent change and manipulation of the American people, is wrong. Many times a course of action is necessary, and in my eyes I did not see Iraq as a necessary choice. Afganistan, yes. Iraq, no.

I really hope none of you guys are involved with Michael Crook and his bullsh*t, then I'd have to take away your Mustangs and de-idiot them.
![]() Anyway, I'm not one for talking political bs over the internet, or in real life. As most people have their side, and usually are hard to break from their point of view, I know I have my view, and a couple of formally typed paragraphs on an internet forum certainately isn't going to change my opinion. All I'm willing to say is that I partially support the war in Iraq, and fully support the operations in A-stan. The reason I only partially support the war in Iraq is because, Iraq isn't doing anything to help us help them. That country is as corrupt as one gets and realy just needs to start over. We are doing a good thing over there, if some soldiers kill a few Iraqi civilians, so what? Who are we, that have never been in combat, to judge a soldier over there with constant stress, physical and emotional drain. There's a 99% chance that none of you guys know anything about what is REALLY going on over there, I know I don't. Maybe if you are a soldier and have been on tour in Iraq, and actually were in the combat and security stages of it, then yes, your opinion should be worthwhile. but the rest of us really do not hold a worth while opinion. Judging something without experiencing it isn't exactly a smart thing to do, but we all do it anyway whether we like it or not, it's natural. All I can say is that I support our troops 99.999% for what they are doing, 1 out of everything 100,000 may be bad, how often do you see on our news, something positive about a soldier's action in Iraq? I rarely see it, how often do you see something negative about the soldiers in Iraq? My point exactly. The news likes to tell you how many of our soldiers died every day, do they say out of how many? Do they say how many insurgents our soldiers have terminated or captured each day? Do they say how many yards of ground we have gained in a city each day? Chances are, you never hear the positive in the media, just the negative. If you want something positive, ask a soldier, don't watch the news. here's something positive for a change: http://www.mustangboards.com/attachm...g?d=1148599152 I haven't decided if I want to join the military or not, it's not because of the whole "I don't want to die" sh*t that teenagers pull out their ass, that is not what the military is about. Only ignorant fools think that every career position iin the military involves a gun and blood. If I were to join the military, that's where I would want to be, personally, because that's where I know I could make the biggest difference. No matter what I do in the future I will always support our soldiers, the guys with the reversed American flags on their right shoulders are my heroes, don't ever, EVER, lay the blame on them for a decision a few politicians sitting at a desk made. Doesn't matter to me the "initial purpose" of our "invasion" of Iraq, all that matters to me is that a tyrant - Suddam Hussein, has been removed from power. Pro war or Anti war, you have to understand how much of a monster this person was, and taking him out was something that had to be done, just so happened the US was finally the one that decided to step up and do it. But as I said in the beginning of my post, this stuff won't change your mind, you'll probably forget everything that everyone has said in this thread within the next 10 minutes. Which is why topics like this are useless, they have no effect on other people. All it does is give people that love to argue a chance to speak their mind and showoff how much BS they know. A few months ago, I was in the habit of compiling some tribute videos for our troops, here are a few of them if you want to download and watch them: http://files.filefront.com/Beginning.../fileinfo.html http://files.filefront.com/Salute_Hi.../fileinfo.html http://files.filefront.com/USA_Highw.../fileinfo.html http://files.filefront.com/USHeroesw.../fileinfo.html http://files.filefront.com/Iraqi_Fre.../fileinfo.html

I like president Bush. IMO he did the best he could with what he had. Let's not forget that someone had to feed him the intel. I know we can't change the past and we can't predict the future but lets just say that tomorrow we find a ****pile of WMD in Iraq. Does that make it all better? Will that make Bush look like he knew what he was doing? Maybe. But at the end of the day we still have thousands of troops in harms way that need our support.
This thread was about BUSH, good/bad/whatever. You want to know what I like about him? Why I believe he did a good job? Because I don't see any fighting here, on our soil. The attacks we sustained could have been just the begining to the pain we could have felt here. Once again, we can't change the past or predict the future. He took the fight to "them". Does anyone remember the "axis of evil" speach? I am proud to say I was a part of this war. I went over to fight, not for oil or for any political BS, but because Mr. Bush sent me. I will go back too when it is my turn, no matter who is in office. I fight there so we don't have to here.

All Saddam had to do in order to avoid this entire thing was COOPERATE WITH THE ****IN WEAPON INSPECTORS.
He did not do this. America got tired of the UN backing down to saddam and put out an ultimatem. Saddam STILL did not work with the weapons inspectors. If he would have cooperated he wouls still have his ****ty little country. And Bush is a piece of **** in my mind and i cant wait for him to be gone. Yes, he was very decisive in his action about 9/11,. props, that was one of the few things he did right. this guy all he wants to do is line his own pockets and the pockets of his friends. he doesent give 2 ****s about american citizens, thier jobs, the economy, the debt, any of that. In my view he is about as lousy of a president as there is. And i dont wanna hear anything about me not being patriotic. Patriotic means you believe in the ideals of your conuntry, and support what the country stands for. Instantly agreeing with a ****ing chimp in a cheap suit who is reading a teleprompter as his friends make his decisions is not a requirement for patriotism. Done with this thread. lol..... |
