Iraq war question?

Question

I like that Bush did something right invading Iraq. We will previal. I think a timetable and a Cut and Run to make the USA look scared. Do any other conservatives think that to?

Answer 1

I'm not a Conservative, but I felt compelled to respond to your "question."

You say you like that Bush decided to invade Iraq. That is quite a statement. I think it's good that Conservatives are finally admitting the Iraq war is an invasion, and not a mission of liberation.

I would like to know what you mean exactly when you say "we will prevail." How will we prevail, and what exactly are we prevailing against?

Under what circumstances do you as a Conservative think we will be able to leave Iraq that doesn't amount to "cut and run?"

I hear these talking point buzzwords all the time, but they don't really mean anything. Can you elaborate on your question and viewpoint a bit more please?

Answer 2

A lot of conservatives wonder why Bush has put nearly all our military resources into Iraq when (1) Iraq wasn't involved in the attack on 9/11, and (2) there are other countries which are a much greater threat (and have been for some time), such as N. Korea.

Quite a few top military leaders have said that if the U.S. had to deal with a military conflict in some other country in the very near future, it would be unable to do so due to the amount of time it would require to move our forces out of Iraq.

Answer 3

Late last year when Jack Murtha offered up a timetable for withdrawal, the Iraqi Prime Minister asked the Bush Administration to implement the plan. Bush removed the Iraqi Prim Minister from office. Now the new Iraqi Prime Minister is asking for another timetable and Bush is not even bothering to respond. Bush has a timetable for Iraq. It's called January 2009. He leaves office and gets to do the best thing he does--lose interest and walk away.

Answer 4

what WE did to IRAQ? For YEARS - long before Bush was in the White House - Clinton and other officials were saying Saddam HAD weapons. He killed and tortured people. And not to excuse the actions of a few - but what have some Iraqis done to AMERICANS. I have friends over there - and others who gave their lives trying to make a difference. Believing the media - they lie just as much if not more than they claim Bush lies. If it was for oil and we now have all this oil we shouldn't be paying near $3/gallon. Things are far from perfect but the average Iraqi has it better now than before. I'm tired of seeing Iraq as a whole portrayed as a victim and our soldiers being made the bad ones. They aren't. They've been bombed, shot at, spit on and still work on making a difference for the people of Iraq. If the hatred in Iraq ceased long enough to let our guys come home everyone still would not be happy. But there are people who can no longer speak for themselves who know the truth and the amount of hatred they face.

Answer 5

No sane person would set a timetable on ending a war. It's over when it's over. You leave when the Iraqis are able to govern and protect themselves. Leaving before that, leaving the Iraqi people to a violent and tortuous fate, would be evil and inhumane.

Not to mention that if you give the terrorists a date on which you will leave, they will just wait until you're gone and then go back to terrorizing the people. Then Iraq would become a terrorist state intent on destroying the U.S.

A timetable and Cut and Run are the stupidest things I've ever heard of. Well, maybe not stupider than the people of Massachusetts continually re-electing a drunken murderer to represent them, but close.

Answer 6

Just ask yourself why you think it was right to invade Iraq. Did it bring any peace to the area? Did it diminish or expand terrorist visibility, influence and activity? Is the world a safer place because of the war? Is there any concern about the thousands and thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women and children killed and maimed because of a single man's grievances? Is the U.S.A. a prouder and more respected nation because of the war crimes admittedly committed by our troops there? Do you have confidence that the administration has any idea of an exit strategy? Do you have any concern that Afghanistan and Iraq have the potential of creating other Afghanistans and Iraqs? Is this food for thought?

Answer 7

There was no absolute reason for us to invade Germany during WW2, either, but if we hadn't the world would be a vastly different and crappier place. I fully believe that the Iraqi people deserve human rights, and that Kurds don't deserve to be loaded into trucks to be ethnically cleansed. The only problem I have is that we're not making swift enough progress in replacing our forces with the Iraqi Security Forces.

Answer 8

u know what i think as an american muslim i do nt agree with the way sadam treated his people but ameirca has made it clear they are against muslims. first of all the american people need to wake up and se what they are doing is wrong. they are backing a politician who gets rich with the saudis who are arabs. the oil to help the west comes from the arabs. while the majority of arab countries live in poverty because their governments are corrupt. that money that the oil generates should go to muslims. but it does not so there for it shows america does support a group of dictators. going after iraq is rediculous. americans sold them weapons and went after iraq because it is the worlds second largest oil reserve. it has nothing to do with america being punks standing up to terrorists because obviously iraq does not have the power to over throw america. what is even more ignorant is people like you who say bush did someting right by attacking them. lets examine it. american tax dollars fund the war we know this. but who prophets from the war? it is bush and his rich poltician friends. not you and your fellow americans. so there for the blood of the iraqi people is on the hands of the american people and they are still the ones left out in the cold while the politicans used the american people to fight for their money. now we can move further into this. in 100 years or so when all of this is over america will be shunned by the world which it already is because obviously there was no liberation with this war it was all about money and the american PEOPLE are going to be the ones to be hated. not the politicians who were the ones who sent their poor country men to war. iraq people have been murdered, raped, blown up, terrorized, u name it they have been through it. even young boys have been sodomized by the american soilders.
u can find these articles all over the internet showing what the americans have done to the iraqi people. now the typical american would sit and say that these people deserve it. not one iraqi was involved with sept 11th. osama and saddam hated each other. but it is not the american people who are getting their houses blown up, having their homes raided and getting raped while witnessing their whole family getting killed, watching little kids in teh street get killed with body parts blown in the street. it is not the american people on their own soil getting birth defects from du dust which has been banned by the geneva conventions to use as chemical war fare. you have no idea what you are talking about. you go to some one elses country and invade them commit war crimes that even the nazis did not do and you call it right. all i have to say is when you support behavio like this you are not better then the disgraceful people who fund it and do it with their own hands. god will judge eeryone accordingly

Answer 9

I am not sure about that. There are so many innocent people who are dying innocents Iraqis innocent soldiers that decided to go to war by choice thinking in other things like to have a better life with the benefits that offer the army. Why the young rich people don't go to War too? Something that I don't understand.

Answer 10

This is a war for profit and oil nothing more and George W. murdered 3000 people in the World Trade Centre just to start this war and he will not stop until he rapes the entire world for profit and oil or he and all the other Nazis in the White house are killed, whichever comes first.
