Do you feel like we invaded Iraq for purposes other than what we stated when we declared war? If so what do you feel is the reason why we continue to stay involved in a war that was declared over on May 4, 2003?

I'm trying to come up with a test, 20 questions with clear cut Liberal/Conservative choice, without the nuances. For example:

1. Death penalty
For conservative, Against liberal
2. Pro-Choice/Pro-Life
Liberal: Pro-Chocie , Conservative Pro-Life

Help me come up with a list of 20 questions where if you answer them it will tell you which side you are on.

Funny how everyone that screams 'but... but... clinton thought saddam had WMD's too' and 'but.. but.. democrats voted to allow dubya to invade iraq' seem to forget that clinton never invaded iraq, and that the democrats who voted to allow dubya to invade iraq were duped?

The fact is - Dubya was wrong. And so was anyone else who overstated saddams weapons programs.

Now nearly 4000 american soldiers are dead, tens of thousands are injured, hundreds of thousands of iraqis are dead, injured, and displaced, and we've spent nearly 1/2 trillion dollars.

For what?

'but... but.. we got rid of saddam hussein'

the one guy who was able to maintain a secular government in iraq... f'ing brilliant...

If not here they are:

Matt Cooper on Meet the Press admitting Karl Rove violated National Security and exposed Valerie Plame to him. Again this is on video straight from his mouth.

And here is Rove lying and denying it just ealier in the same program

And here is a video of Dick Cheney 15 years ago saying if we went into Bagdad it would be a disaster and end up being a Quagmire:

Why do these supporters keep denying fact - facts that are right there on video. Cheney says it himself!

Give me some answers and let me know what you think of them. This is undeniable proof they have known all along and have lied to America. This will continue unless we vote for a real American not tied to Corporate Lobbyists and this foreign Globalist agenda

I know I sound offensive in my tone. But after losing my brother and feeling the pain day after day that this war takes more American lives, and Iraqi lives too. I am just so ashamed at the blind supporters of his illegal war. The troops need to come home alive that is sporting the troops.

I found this in the NY times. Written by several soldeirs, seeargents and staff seartegns in Iraq. I'm sure it will bring a lot of boos from bush supporters. But maybe it will open some of their eyes to the soldeirs perspective and the truth. Maybe some of the faithful bush spportesrs will see thoguh the lies as I did and wake up. I could only pray for that. The soldeirs must come home safe and alive.

My parents seem to think I've got both. I can function normally in my professional life, but my personal relationships are suffering. I don't sleep well, I'm irritable all the time, I can be in a fine mood and go to pissed off in a heartbeat. My girlfriend says I'm unaffectionate and distant. And I guess my parents probably think the same thing, since the last time I've hugged them was when I came back from Iraq almost 2 years ago. I was an intelligence analyst, stuck in the TOC most of the time. I went out on patrol a few times with some 11B buddies of mine, but never saw a lot of action. Once on the convoy into Iraq from Kuwait an IED blew up 2 vehicles in front of me. It was buried too deep and didn't do any significant damage. That's the only action I saw the whole time. I think I may have been depressed while I was in Iraq because I hadn't been home in 3 years by that time, I was working nights, and on my days off I would sleep for 18 - 20 hours. What do yall think I have now?

Honestly. .. . When's The Last Time You Saw A Non-U.S. Resident Thank The United States Of America For All Of Our Aid Packages To Them ?

We've given Countless Billions and Trillions to other countries , . . . . . . . . . .So Why Aren't These Boards Literally Over-Flowing With Posts Of Gratitude ?

BTW , every person , American or otherwise should listen to Gordon Sinclair's or Byron MacGregor's version of 'The Americans' . Outstanding piece of work . Just google it !!

What is the problem with liberals? Why do they think that? Liberals seem to think that their liberal ideals are their way of thinking about society and the world. What's the deal with that?

All your theories were shot down, like a duck sitting on a tree limb, by experts in every field.
The show was called:
9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction
Examines the various conspiracy theories espoused on the Internet, in articles and in public forums that attempt to explain the 9/11 attacks. It includes theories that the World Trade Center was brought down by a controlled demolition; that a missile, not a commercial airliner, hit the Pentagon; and that members of the U.S. government orchestrated the attacks in hopes of creating a war in the Middle East. Each conspiracy argument is countered by a variety of experts in the fields of engineering, intelligence and the military. The program also delves into the anatomy of such conspiracies and how they grow on the Internet.

Are you out for the truth, or is it any story goes, as long as you hurt the Bush Adminsration?

I often wonder what would happen if everyone on the earth belonged to one system of government, and we only had one standard currency system, one healthcare system, one communication system, and we did away with all borders and everyone on the planet could live where he or she chooses without worrying about immigration rules and regulations.

Go to church
forgiveness and non-judgmental, loving enemy etc
.
family values = marry and do not have sex outside marriage

support the troops = support killing terrorists and a few civilians by accident

support punishment like the death penalty as a deterrent

Deny abortions and do not help the single moms raise the child (social programs for poor)

Small government WHICH allows the corporations and wealthy to have power over us.

Why do repubs not want a government keeping the corporations and elite policed so that they do not abuse the people.
I agree that government can be corrupt but we CAN elect a new one unless they are in the pockets of the corps.

The greatest disagreement i have, is why do you not support a larger government that takes from the elite and helps the poor.

Isnt that christian? Should a person feel guilty driving 100k car and a 300k house when there are so many people in need?
