Why dont people speak the truth about Iraq? Its all about protecting the children?
Those of you who have been there know the truth. You put your lives on the line to teach them so many things. And guard them while you are doing it.

Hey, this is a sore topic but Iraq had its minus points with tormenting the christians and americans. The middle east is a sore country and the people have their insecurities. The children have to be taught about not killing others and having humanitarian affection for others. That can only change the people and make them more docile towards other western countries and faiths

Protecting the children, did you really just say that??? OMG ROFLOL dude, wow. I don´t think American or Iraqi or Russian bombs and explosives have ANYTHING to do with ANY children besides the quickest way to kill and maim. Why don´t you speak the truth about the army you love´s gov´t making weapons of mass destruction, cluster bombs, and other internationally illegal items that really, trust me, help NO children. And also, if you are so ´for the children´ then take a look at the more than million children who have been negatively affected (to say the least) because of all the sanctions imposed b4 the constant bombing and civil unrest. But hey, you´re looking for the truth, no, you are looking for your truth. If you can´t understand the last comment, you want something probably to fuel the flames of the heat of your incredible passion for the kids. But hey, maybe you should have just said American kids, that is. Byeeeeeeeeee. A bye.

The thing that gets me is after people are told I'm sorry there were no weapons of mass destruction and ummmmm Iraq had nothing to do with 911. Don't you understand what that means? Why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia? why did we let all those people from bin ladins family go back to Saudi Arabia. How did bin ladin escape?Why are we not helping darfur there government is slaughtering people left and right. I mean If we went after Saddam cause of the things he did. Isn't darfur manned by the same type of person?Don't you ask yourself these questions?

What a crock.. America bombed all the schools, universities and hospitals.. it also sabotaged key disease prevention clinics in Iraq.. and all is available on video footage.. on the net.. as I got my facts off the net.. check ebay.. its all for sale.. see for yourself how much the Americans helped the children or Iraq..
There is no question in my mind or the mind of any logical thinker.. this war was set up fro mthe start.. even Sept 11 was a set up and didnt happen as stated.. after all.. WHAT DID HIT THE PENTAGON?? and WHY did tower 7 fall??? Silverman.. the owner said he "pulled it" but he must've had it rigged up days or weeks earlier to pull it.. so BUSTED right there!!!
Americans BE ASHAMED!!!

Jami it's all about politics, The libirals don't want the truth to come out because they would lose the power they have, If America really knew what good was being done in Iraq, and what a great job the soldiers are doing, more of them would refuse to elect those individuals Like Hillary Clinton, or John Kerry, who put our men in harms way just to get a vote..They don't care how much damage they are doing with their bickering back and forth. It gives the terrorist more support than they realize. The terrorist know all they have to do is keep doing what they are doing and America will get tired of all the fuss about men dying, that they will pull the troops out, you watch and see if I am not right.

What? Your question is two unrelated topics; truth and protecting children. Unless you mean protecting children from the truth? Nothing like burying your head in the sand; it allows the lion to eat you butt first.

The so-called "war on terror" fought as the war on Iraq is taking place in a country that had nothing to do with 9-11. Iraq posed no threat to the United States except in the minds of those requiring and/or fabricating the reasons for war. Yes, , let us talk of the sickness then. A first strike, preventive war of choice is sick. Bombing a country through "Shock and Awe" because it was expedient to have access to our desperately needing its oil is sick. Adopting and using a policy of extreme rendition where the U.S. government sanctions and fosters the disappearance of people to nations where gross torture is allowed so that surrogates can do the dirty work for it is sick. Lying to Congress, the US people and the world in order to justify going to war is sick. Murdering complete Iraqi families by dropping 1,000 pound bombs on them is sick. Breaking the standard by which human decency is maintained, at least in part, during war, i.e., the Hague Conventions of 1889 and 1907, the Geneva Conventions of 1949, and the Nuremberg Conventions adopted by the United Nations December 11, 1945, is sick. Unloading hundreds of tons of depleted uranium is sick. Dropping cluster bombs is sick. Unexploded cluster bomb bomblets becoming land mines taking off children's limbs is sick. Killing as you would call them precious unborn fetuses by poisoning them with radioactive dust is sick. Our youth dying for the ruling elite and rich man's war for profit is sick. Let us reiterate once again, that going to war with Iraq had nothing to do with any threat from Iraq and it had nothing to do with 9-11. It had everything to do with lying about weapons of mass destruction, lying about aluminum tubes, lying about yellow-cake uranium, lying about mobile biological and chemical weapons labs, lying to the United Nations, lying to the world. That, , is sick. And, it is this sickness that you would project onto those who criticize you and the sickness of this regime. The fact that anyone else, or faction, or nation, may be sicker is not justification for excusing this regime's sickness.

My profile pic is of those very children.
They love us and follow us around. You're right. We are protecting them as much, if not more, as we are anyone else.
Militia snipers have little concern for the children.
