Answer 1

I believe Lola means that we are killing many innocent people in Iraq and before we went in there there was no Inurgents. So our war created a place for them to rise, just as they did against Russia in Afganistan. Of course, we backed them then because it was in our interest too. But what are we doing in Iraq? Our boys are dying for what? Oil? It sure isn't for WMD and I can't believe that the people in Washington didn't know that. Repulicans and Democrats alike. But the spin machine told us citizens that it was ABSOLUTELY necessary, and we bought it hook line and sinker!! Now, do we admit we were duped into this or do we keep waving the flag in ignorance?

Answer 2

We skirted the UN when went to war with Iraq, then went up there and demanded money! they laughed in Bush's face, and with good reason!

Not many here really give a damn about those dying or wounded. It had to be Hillary Clinton to get the practice of billing the military who were discharged from Walter Reed after they were wounded stopped! It wasn't a Republican!

What liberty? Bush thumbs his nose at the laws and the Supreme Court. He thinks he is exempt from laws that take away our rights!

I see the Army murdered a few innocent civilians, took turns raping a woman and then lit here on fire! A couple, who were not involved but witnessed the event, went to the authorities!

What is that, the 7th time in 6 months?? Bush does it, what the hell right!!!

Answer 3

There are a LOT of people out here who feel exactly like you do, including myself. We should have never gone into Iraq and do what we did. Its all about controlling oil and creating contracts for companies like Halliburton, which is a way to strip dollars away from taxpayers and put them into the pockets of rich private industries. Iraq may have had an evil dictator in Sadam, but the terrorists were from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. Now Iraq is a huge ugly quagmire, a mess, FUBAR! You will not hear about how bad it is from the main stream media. Most of the professional Iraqis have already moved out of the country, many to the United Arab Emirates. Now the country is composed mostly of religious fanatics and insurgents, fighting each other for control and fighting us because they hate our guts. If we stay, there will be more violence. If we leave, there will be more violence. There is nothing we can do to make it ok. So lets just get out before more of our troops and more innocent people are needlessly killed, and for what???

Answer 4

I don't see how ANYONE could be comfortable with all the people killed in Iraq! What if the American's left now? Would that save any Iraqi children? I don't think it would.. cause they are in the midst of a civil war, and they would easily be killed anyway! It's terrible either way! How can the UN make the unrest stop? I don't see how they can do it. I would love to see the American soldiers leave Iraq, but I don't think it would be fair to the Iraqi people if the soldiers just left them in the midst of terrorim!

Answer 5

I was there. You were not. You can say whatever you want, and I will respect that. "Countless Iraqi children murdered" is an absolute asinine statement, made by a completely uneducated individual. US soldiers have practiced unbelievable restraint and control in situations that are sometimes nearly out of control. I am so proud of the American Spirit and Iraq that I could cry (and have, once or twice). Again..say what you will. The individuals serving our great country are so amazing that your question is permanently unimportant. Thank you for equal time.....I feel I've earned it.

Answer 6

If you were in the situation of those iraqis you would wish for the help of a strong nation as well. There are many aspects for which you do not and can not see that makes our presence there invaluable to the people. It is very unfortunate that the lives of some of our great soldiers have been lost including three of my friends.

Answer 7

The war in Iraq was a starter war to test the waters of taking over a mid-east country.

Iran is a bigger problem, and have always been.

What Bush is doing is trying to implement an infrastructure, so in 100 years when the oil runs out, people will have an actual economy. And maybe women could vote one day. <------- (look at your body)


When you sit and think about it, Bush in 100 years will look like one of the greatest presidents. Sadly. He is an idiot though.

Answer 8

that is a question only the free can answer and that is you. i am a military wife whose husband served in iraq and is going back for the second time in early august. he and many others fight for your freedom to express yourselves. whether we agree with iraq or not the important thing is that they need to know is america supports them as they put their life on the line in every mission they do. so yes think what you may but as a military wife of a soldier i am proud. just think of the families and children who do not have there daddies here to tuck them in bed while you get to live freely. god bless the troops!!

Answer 9

yea but so many pigs out there refuse to see the truth they will call you a lying scum like that asss hole who just did.
my message to you, you blind ignorant scum bag is to stop watching cartoons and start living in the real world!!!!.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. Army has ordered an investigation into the deaths of an Iraqi family of four at their home in Mahmoudiya, a town south of Baghdad, a U.S. military statement said Friday.

The investigation concerns allegations that at least two U.S. soldiers were involved in the rape of a woman and that one of them killed her, a child and two other adults, U.S. military sources said.

Maj. Gen. James D. Thurman, commanding general of Multinational Division-Baghdad, ordered the Army's Criminal Investigation Command to conduct the investigation. (Watch how the Army is looking into the matter -- 1:00)

"A preliminary inquiry conducted by MND Baghdad found sufficient information existed to recommend a criminal investigation into the incident," the statement said.

The allegations came to light on June 23, when a soldier undergoing a stress debriefing said he heard that other soldiers might have been involved in a rape and murder in March.

That soldier is from the 502nd Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, the same unit as the three soldiers involved in the checkpoint attack June 16 near Yusifiya. In that incident, Spc. David J. Babineau was killed, and two others -- Army Pfc. Kristian Menchaca and Pfc. Thomas Tucker -- were abducted and later found dead.

Soldiers in the unit were given stress counseling afterward.

The military said it interviewed a second soldier, who gave a report similar to the first. That soldier said he saw bloodstains on other soldiers' clothing and heard them conspire to commit such an act.

Both soldiers said they didn't witness the alleged incident.

The investigation into the deaths began Saturday.

It is among a number of investigations into alleged killings of civilians by U.S. forces in Iraq. Four Army soldiers have been charged with murder in the deaths of three Iraqi detainees during an operation in Salaheddin province in May. Seven Marines and a sailor also have been charged with murder for the death of an Iraqi civilian in Hamdaniya in April.

In a case that has yielded no charges, the military is investigating allegations that up to eight Marines killed as many as 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha in November.
Child victims

Children were among the victims of deadly violence Friday in Iraq, emergency police told CNN.

A firefight between gunmen and Iraqi soldiers Friday morning left a teenage girl dead in the Babil province town of Latifiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad.

Also, one of six bodies found Friday in Baghdad was that of a boy believed to be between 4 and 6 years old. He was shot, and his body showed signs of torture.

The dumping of bodies across the capital has been a common occurrence since sectarian violence escalated after the bombing on February 22 of the Askariya Mosque, a Shiite shrine, in Samarra.

Answer 10

For a lot people,it all comes down to numbers.All we see on the TV is the number.... The number of people killed...The media doesn't give them names...so all we do is just think for a second we dont really care....The UN was formed to prevent war...it has failed just like the League of Nations...time and time again...seems to me like the UN is powerless
