    What happened to "never forget 9/11?"

    I do not support Iraq, but I do support Afghanistan.

    Yes, these wars are not only morally wrong (especially Iraq), but also unimaginably expensive. The conservatives constantly whine about Obama's health care program, however Iraq alone has been many times as expensive, as that. And what did we spend all those trillions of dollars for? For weapons and some idiots, who like to steal an other country's oil. To kill innocent people who've got NOTHING to do with 9/11. Those terrorists weren't even from Iraq.

    But that's not everything yet.

    Just look at this picture:

    Absolutely crazy, isn't it?!?

    And that's ONLY the past 60 years.

    I know. Iraq was a totally unnecessary war. Afghanistan is a circus.

    But we just had to stop big bad evil "imminent threat" Iraq from destroying the entire world with all their WMD that of course was a made up lie propagated by Donnie Dumsfeld's Office of Special Plans (PNAC).

    We've lost sight of all our objective - finding Osama Bin Laden. To be honest I frankly don't care anymore. Our country has gone so off topic in these wars that I believe we might as well call it quits. I am a Democrat but I do not support these wars. Time to bring our troops back home and rebuild as a nation.

    do not think of the benefits only... think of this as a measure of prevention... and retribution... sometimes the best defense is a good offense... and bombing them back to the stoneage means that hey have 10000 years to make up... before they will start screwing with those with as big or bigger guns then themselves...

    I always liked rosavelts ... walk softly but carry a big stick... i have no illussions about how our enemies want to live... or die... i think i wud like to help them with the second...

    I pretty much agree. The middle east can do their own thing. If knuckle draggers want to drive planes into buildings then just bomb them into oblivion and let the pilot come home and **** his wife all in the same day. No occupations.

    Two wars creates a lot of high paying jobs. This is why Obama is full speed ahead. Kill, make weapons, make jobs, get reelected.

    Actually, the Russians won the bid for Iraqi oil.

    Then go live somewhere else. I am sick of you bleeding heart liberals that whine and complain about everything when you don't understand ANYTHING! You are free to go anytime you want.

    What about the 45,000,000 babies you liberals have killed since 1976.! Do you cry for them? That is more than Hitler and STALIN killed combined!

    whine whine whine!

    Bush and the Pubs forced us into Iraq, for NO REASON, NO BENEFIT, and $3 TRILLION!

    Obama and the Dema are BEGINNING the pullout, but you can't do it quickly

    (thanks Bush! Thanks Repubs!)

    Afghanistan? Now that is where Bush and the FRepubs SHOULD HAVE focused our resources in the first place. Thanks Bush! Thanks Repubs!
