Iraq: American blood means nothing to Iraqi leaders

This is what happens when you attempt to force your will on someone who doesn't want it. This war has been a disaster for the beginning. We should not have invaded and should leave immediately.

 

Im just curious! what do you two think will happen if we were to immediately pull out? How would that effect Iraq? How would that effect the middle east? And how would that effect us in the U.S.?

 

I am not LE or Terry, but I'll take a crack at this:

1. What will happen if we immediately pull out?
Americans would quit bringing home their sons and daughters in body bags under the cover of a media blackout. Iraq would have to solve their own problems.

If they can put up this much fight, they should have overthrown Saddam themselves. They obviously hate us worse than they hate him.

2. How would that affect Iraq?
Don't really much care, but they would have to solve their own sectarian problems.


3. How would that affect the Middle East?
Hard to say. Probably civil war in Iraq, which they already have. Greater Middle East, could go one of several ways.

4. How would that affect us in the US?
We would quit spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a black hole, our kids would quit dying for Bush's immoral war, and we could maybe start working on regaining the respect of the rest of the world. The money spent in Iraq would have gone a long way toward providing healthcare for every child and elderly person in the US. We could also deploy the military and National Guard troops to secure the US borders, rather than having them be targets for IEDs in Iraq. Or even go to Afghanistan and finish the job there, along with capturing OBL.

 

That is what the liberals real worry is. Not the deaths of our soldiers but money being taken away from their communist eganda. Just as I figured.

 

RevM, obviously you only selectively read what I wrote. This immoral war has a cost in lives and money. Of course lives are more precious than money, but it is also bankrupting this once great nation.

NOTHING in Iraq was worth one American life. I almost cry every week watching the names, ages and hometowns of the soldiers killed at the end of "this Week with George Stephanopolis"

 

We should all be saddend to tears over the deaths of our soldiers. MP the problem is that the concern showed by liberals seems to be disingenuine because so many people die every day for unjust reasons.

The biggest unjust death which occurs by the thousands daily all over this country is the deaths of unborn children.They do not get to even volunteer for that abortion. So the lack of concern in this most unjust murder makes the complaints of our soldiers seem suspect at best.

 

I would not expect a "reverend" to lie as frequently as you do, or do you call it a gift of prophecy to know what a person's "real worry is?"

 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I had to have ten characters)

 

No red herring! I do not support the lack of action on this issue. And while I am conservative I do not care for so many of the current actions of Congress, the Senate, or Our President. And I am saddend by the lack of action in so many areas. The comparison is legitimate.

 

And Republican appointees have made up a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court for way longer than that.
