And for it to take just eight and a half years longer than the prior administration said it would take! Very impressive!

Thank you, and welcome home.


Actually, the American Skunk (half black, half white and stinks up everything he touches) ended the war on the

EXACT same schedule as George W. Bush.



I just knew it would not take long for the Obama hate machine, aka melbahooey, to jump into this thread. Have a nice day (somewhere else).

melbedewy says racist things.

Whining "Ray-Zist!" is the last refuge of the progressive scoundrel.


Hate-mongering is the preferred method of the Tea Party gasbags.

tl;dr


Cliff Notes Ver: Mission Accomplished.

100,000+ civilian casualties, and 1,000,000 refugees. Let's call that.... democracy. And a big shout out to George II for perfecting the definition of "the world's asshole." Oh, and let's go back to pretending it wasn't just for oil.

You are a retard, in case no one has ever pointed that out to you. You've lived through the last decade, and wish that not only had the war occurred, but had occurred earlier? And I'm sure that if Clinton attacked Iraq, you wouldn't have ever once used the term wag the dog. Amazingly retarded. This thread went political so it will be shut down, but please remember how retarded you are for future reference.


Very rarely will I attack anyone on this forum and I try to not be outright rude to anyone. As someone who had a nephew who was severely mentally handicapped to the point where he died from complications just over 3 years ago, I am quite offended - but I digress.

The whole WMD was a sham. Agreed. In my opinion, this was a bullshit excuse to do something that should have been done long before. As has been mentioned earlier, Hussein was playing games with the inspectors. To end the Gulf War, he agreed to be completely open to the UN inspectors. I believe as soon as he started to not live up to his word, he should have been taken out. Period. I don't care if the President at the time was Democrat, Republican, Independant, Whig, Libertarian, Independant, etc.

In my simple, feeble mind, we kick your ass, we agree to stop when you agree to certain conditions, you don't live up to those conditions, we're gonna kick your ass again.

As far as going political, look at the first post "And for it to take just eight and a half years longer than the prior administration said it would take! Very impressive!" This thread started as political.

777rojen777 - The level to what you have reached while addressing me says so much about your intellect and intelligence which first brought a level of commiseration for you. There is a time to be nice and a time not to be nice. I pride myself on taking the high-road whenever possible. Being this was your first response to my post without any sort of heated exchange, most civilized people would determine this to be completely uncalled before.

I have to laugh at the whole notion of inspectors. First off everyone knows you can't prove a negative. So here is how it went down the inspectors demanded that Saddam show them his WMDs. Saddam said I don't have any WMDs to show you. The inspectors said see he isn't complying with our requests because he won't show us his WMDs.

We painted ourselves in a corner because Bush and the Neo-Cons wanted to make war and have their little cakewalk so the Iraqis could throw rose petals at them in a gesture of their gratitude. Almost 5,000 American soldiers died, and more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians died all for a needless war. For the Average Iraqi citizen they are much worse off than they were before the war and the country is more of a security risk than it was before it was invaded.

You want to bitch and moan about your debt here is where a lot of it came from. For the next 60-70 years we are going to be paying and paying for the care of Veterans that fought in this war. Although I note, the Republicans are already trying cut veterans funding. Despicable I say.


Of course you are aware of how to destroy WMD?

It leaves behind evidence of its destruction. You know stuff like warheads, missiles, rocket motors, mixing containers, factories, and so much more. These things CAN be verifyed quite easily.

Oh, please remember sarin gas is a nerve gas and it too leaves residue behind. Well, that and plenty of dead people.....
