Do you still think invading Iraq was a good idea?

It was never a good idea, but bloodthirsty americans wil stop at nothing in thier lust for blood. In 1989 Saddam caught George bushs company UNICAL slant drilling from Kuwait under the border into an oil field completely within Iraq borders. The UN did nothing since Kuwait claimed the rigs belonged to americans and was not tier problem. They couldn't enforce anything on the company since they had no army to stop them. So Saddam sent his. They blew up the illegal oil fields and stole back some booty to make up for the loss.

George Bush then sent the USA army in operation desert storm to clean up the mess his personal business was in. He got away with theft thanks to your military. The second was to stop Saddam from defying opec and selling his oil iin currency other than USA dollars. Its this "agrement" with opec to trade only in usa dollars that gives your currency value. Othe countries started taking sales from usa and giving to Iraq. This infuriated the american oil tycoons so they sent the army over again to get rid of Saddam once and for all. All at the expense of the usa citizens. Americans are so helplessly enslaved because they falsely beliveve they are free.

Educate yourselves on this guy, folks.

1) You would have us stand silent while an ally (Kuwait) asked us to protect them against Iraq's invasion, and have watched as Iraq nationalized our businesses there (which would have been a cue for the nationalization of other US businesses around the world).

2) You would have had us stand still after a decade long cease fire (we never had peace, and Saddam repeatedly broke the cease-fire anyway) and end up with a two front war with Saddam and the Taliban?

You don't know what you are talking about.

Yep sure do. Obama said he was bringing them troops home from Iraq.....where are they, transferred to where........Oh yes......that right war or so BO called it. BO is a joke.

Barack Obama roared into office with lots of bluster and one of the things he did was sign an order to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He said that it would be closed in a year and that year ends in January of 2010. After Obama signed the order to close Gitmo he began to see how difficult it would be to close the place.

He was able to move a few of the prisoners but many remain and now he has a plan to move them to Illinois. I do not like the idea of moving them to the US. It really makes no sense to move them from one prison to another for the sake of closing Gitmo. The outcome is the same but with different locations. The only thing I like about it is that the terrorists held in Gitmo will move from the comfortable weather in Cuba to the harsh winters of Illinois. I love the idea of these people freezing their rear ends off. How many claims of torture will come from this?

The plan to move them to Illinois is meeting resistance form residents of the state and the whole plan requires Congressional action with regard to funding and changing the law that only allows detainees to be held in the US while they await trial. Many of them have not been charged so the law would need to be changed. Many members of Congress might be reluctant to move these people to the US and to change current law when so many Americans oppose the idea. The whole mess now means that Gitmo will likely not be closed until 2011.

Oops, looks like Obama made a commitment that he could not keep. I think he overestimated his ability and the difficulty of accomplishing the task. I think he believed the messianic hype his followers were spewing and believed that he could walk on water.

Instead, he is drowning in a promise he could not keep.

This is what happens when they send a child to do a man’s job.

Somehow, he will blame this on Bush.

Made as much sense as invading Mexico or Canada.

Well, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, and others led me to believe that it was a good idea. Now that I have some foreign affairs background, I think it was a very bad idea. Also, I think they should leave Iran alone.

Not only do I think it's a good idea, now I've got wood.

I thought it was wrong and a bad idea from the beginning, and I haven't changed my mind. In fact, Bush and Cheney should be imprisoned for life for committing that atrocity.

I never did. You would have to be lobotomized or indoctrinated by the Bush administration to still think that was a good idea.
