Iraq Rant


The Iraq war is not even a war. Congress has not officially stated that the United States is at war with Iraq. The Iraq war has already cost half of what all of Vietnam cost us. That’s not even taking account the number of lives lost. For a war with no reason it has gone on long enough and we need to get out now before more damage is done to our nation.
(National Priorities Project)
President Bush hated Saddam Hussein still does. Why? Maybe it was because everybody around him told him to, or maybe it was because Saddam tried to assassinate Bush Sr. Whatever the reason Bush and just about all of congress thought we needed to remove Saddam Hussein because he wasn’t cooperating with us the way we told him so. What gives us the right to determine other countries can’t have WMD if we have more than any? The only reason we have that right is because we have more than any. We can tell nations to do whatever the hell we want. Forget about a smaller country rising to become an international power. We like things the way they are, and want to keep them that way. The United States being the most powerful followed by the Chinese, the Russians, we already took everything away from the Japanese. I am not saying we need to hand out
nuclear weapons to countries that want them, but if they really want them they are going to get them no matter what we tell them.

We will never fix the drug problems in America and no one really thinks we can, that’s all this is except at a bigger level. What kind of fool thinks we can dictate who can have weapons? I know people that have all sorts of illegal weapons in the United States. None to the extent other countries long for obviously.
Iraq had nothing President Bush promised; no weapons of mass destruction and of course no ties to Al Qaeda. Saddam Hussein hated groups like Al Qaeda and everybody knew it, these groups just took away from his power. He never aided them it was an excuse that was made up. (Why We Must)
The American people would have done anything to fix the wrongs done to them in 9/11. We went into Afghanistan, poorly mind you, and tried to find Osama Bin Laden. That was great, we should have done that. The government told us Iraq had something to-do with 9/11. Of course the American people wanted to go for it. The American people did exactly what the President wanted. Iraq was never a threat nor have it could have been. In Iraq American troops have killed over 150,000 Iraqi civilians. It doesn’t matter if we did or didn’t use chemical weapons it’s been a massacre over in Iraq. So often, killing our own troops by mistake. Friendly fire happens in war, but it is inexcusable in a war that shouldn’t have been. (Iraq Official)
In a war that serves no real purpose for us, we were never threatened. U.S. Militarycasualties should not happened. If you’re going to do it, do it smart like the first Gulf War. If there is no reason to send our troops off to battle, then don’t do it. The president forgot that the United States has a volunteer military.
These troops didn’t volunteer to get killed not for our country, the volunteered to maybe getting killed for our country. It is so wrong; you can’t ask someone to give their lives to their country than ask them to put their asses on the line for another country that has never meant anything to us. So what if Iraqis needed to be saved, they are not worth our troops. Get our troops out now before we screw ourselves further. If we didn’t help Iraq yet no point in continuing get our troops out now. Help politically and aid Iraq in what they are doing but get our own troops out.
