PMARTIN: You wanted to know what could have or should have been done about Iraq? How about nothing for the time being. We had them contained and there was no imminent threat. Full concentration should have been on Afghanistan and Bin Laden.
Plus, we were containing Iraq not as the U.S versus Iraq but as the U.N. versus Iraq. It wasn’t our show. But, we have now made this our own personal war with all the cost and responsibilities that go along with it. Your [Bleeeeep!] for tat logic is exactly why there will never be peace in the middle east without some sort of nuclear holocaust. Now the U.S. is mired in, what I see as, a never ending war. Ten, twenty, thirty years from now our troops will still be dying over there. Our children’s children will most likely be subjected to terrorist bombings over seas and at home as a result. While we spread ourselves ever thinner abroad and approach bankrupting this country while off-shoring manufacturing and technology the EU and Asian conglomerate grow stronger by the day. I think it’s very clear where all of this can easily be headed and they see/saw it too…..the U.S. will no longer be a super power.

Is Saddam a bad man. Sure. There are a lot of nasty world leaders. To the world we have one right here in the good old US of A. But notice we didn’t kill Saddam. We killed Iraqis. Lot’s of them and we still are every day.

This thread is fun but sad. Anything negative towards this f’d up administration is merely Bush-bashing while burying your head in the sand and giving a politician the power of life or death over yourself and this country without question is patriotic.

People say “I trust Bush”. I ask what makes you trust?
People say “I believe in Bush”. I ask what makes you believe?
People say “he’s doing the right thing”. I ask how do you know?

To a tee the answers never contain a shread of anything resembling evidence to back up their beliefs. Some cannot answer without the name Clinton in there. Why? We are talking about Bush not Clinton. Others get down right hostile as if you are questioning the authority of the almighty supreme being. He’s not you know. Actually he didn’t even receive the most votes.
In my opinion we should be looking at impeachment. We can’t wait another year.

My favorite Homer Simpson quote “Facts schmacks. You can prove anything with facts.”

Wow Timberman...how communist of you.
