All of his supporters there to help him celebrate his "victory". He's doing the right thing and justice has been served - blah, blah blah.

The whole time the US flag is hanging up BACKWARDS behind them.

What a bunch of a**holes

how the heck are US troops suppose to defeat the enemy if they have to follow the "rules" while the terrorists/insurgents can do whatever they feel like doing? Doesn't that make winning the war in Iraq for the US almost impossible?

You wanted Saddam to hang and were happy when he was. Why do you not think that George W. Bush (Along with George and Barbara) should not be tried for murder for everyone of our soilders that have lost their lives in this war?

America's first choice for the new leader of Iraq prior to the invasion in 2003 was Chalabi, who has a house in Iran. One of Chalabi's top aides was considered by many in the intelligence community to be an agent working for Iranian security forces. One of the top Iraqi's provided to the CIA by Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress was suspected of being provided by a 'hostile intelligence agency'.

Is perhaps the failure of the American invasion of Iraq, and the close association of the people who provided to majority of the pre-war intelligence in to the CIA (and the Whitehouse) to Iranian forces no coincidence...?

Since we hold all the power, who will dare to hold the United States to account for its premature attack on Iraq? Will we hold ourselves to account? Or will we continue to make the rules for ourselves?

does anyone know how long it takes for the 82nd Airborne and the 101st Airborne to deploy? also, which would be a better choice to join? i heard that 101st only does air assault now and that 82nd is the one that actually does paratrooper jumps. by deploy i mean how long does it take for them to be in a combat area from the time they are called to fight?

Apparently, George Bush is a Christian, and as such he should follow the teachings of his savior, Jesus Christ. According to Jesus Christ, we should 'not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.'

If George Bush is a Christian, then why has he wreaked war on Iraq - killing thousands of Iraqi civilians in the process - to topple an evil person...?

Those who deploy and who believe they are committing war crimes would, at the deepest level, be war criminals.

war to be illegal, or would you rather that he opted out of what he did not believe in? How could he have done a good job if he believed himself to be committing war crimes? Any US soldier who truly believes himself to be comitting war crimes should refuse deployment. Period.

On May 1st, 2003, Bush declared from the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln (under a giant banner declaring 'mission accomplished') that major combat operations in Iraq were over, and that America had prevailed in Iraq.

If America has prevailed and major combat operation were over in May 2003, why are 21,500 new American troops being sent to Iraq in February 2007...?

I am in debate and I need a story about how a person was influenced into the armed forces or marines at school by other marines. Most likely a marine came to your school to tell you about them. If you had any such link such as this, please give it to me ASAP. The best related story to my question will get BEST ANSWER!!!
Thanks
