Can someone explain to me what a hell are we doing in IRAQ?

Answer 1

Trying to take over probably... maybe it will become our 51st state! Haha.. Just kidding... I am against it,and have been from the start! I beleive there are more things that we [USA] should be focusing on besides IRAQ, and I know this is a war and there are human rights, but why do soldiers have to be put on trial?? If they're shooting innocent people, then don't they have anything to do?? are they bored?? Bring them home and HELP not HURT people....

Answer 2

We are fighting for people like you who are too weak to fight for themselves. You UN pansy-types forget that the "sanctions" were in place and ignored for 10 years. How long do you want to look like a wussy in front of the world. You have probably been pushed around all your life also and you are used to it. You should thank God for people brave enough to stand in the gap because your type certainly won't. You probably think that UN sanctions will work against north korea and Iran don't you? For Matthew W, they did find the WMD's did they not report that on CNN , NPR or BET? You think Saddam held us out and denied the inspectors access until after machinery was moved just so he could clean up a little bit before they arrived? Quit being naive and don't forget your boy Bill "the cigar" Clinton of whom I'm sure you are so proud, sent troops to "war" several times. But don't tell me...that depends on what your definition of "war" is doesn't it. You libs are weak and you will not take control of this country because in crisis the country needs a man with a backbone. Even the democrats in the country believe the country is safer in war with a Conservative at the helm. And by the way...this is a Republic not a true democracy. If you don't like it....leave. Go find another "true" democracy that is better. Oh ...I forgot there is none better.

Answer 3

Unlike repubublicans, I wont dodge the answer with accusations of being unpatriotic, to the doubters of this administrations policies. But what is ironic is that is excactly whats Marxism claims can be done to the masses "lead to war unwillingly, then justify with calls of patriotic unity for the good of the state". Bush claimed, and sent then Secretary of State Colin Powell to the United Nations and asked for this session t for two purposes: First, to support the core assessments made by Dr. Blix and Dr. ElBaradei. As Dr. Blix reported to this council on January 27th, quote, ``Iraq appears not to have come to a genuine acceptance, not even today, of the disarmament which was demanded of it. 2nd;provide additional information, to share what the United States knows about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction as well as Iraq's involvement in terrorism, which is also the subject of Resolution 1441 and other earlier resolutions". Some of us thinking americans( and the President himself) knew that both claims, weapons of mass destruction, and ties with terrorism were not very likely. The U.N. weapons investigators NEVER found anything to confirm WMD's, or terroist trainng camps! Now that both claims have been proven false, Bush said that Saddam was a bullish dictator and that America must spread democracy. Why Iraq, why not China or Cuba, both communist countries? Why not a parliamentary constitutional monarchy like Lesotho? So now that I have debunked all the answers you have heard let me tell you the truth, the answer that everbody knows but no one has expressed. The reason we are in Iraq is that the system of checks and balances outlined in the American constitution has failed (again). Only Congress can take america to war, but we are at war, ask my 2,500 brothers and sisters who wont be comming home; ( I call soliders brothers because I served, 95Bravo). If both houses are controlled by the same party as the President, then the only saftey left is the judcial branch. Judges are selected by presidents, and approved by congress, so you can see how alliences to parties, and not the constitution or America can lead to abuses of the system. I dont know why bush wanted this war, but he and his administration are responsible for this 9 trillion dollar mistake! Just a side note to leave you, and Bill O'righty thinking; isnt it funny How we run to the U.N. with lies, and when they dont give the answer we like, we negate the value of the U.N.? If you bothered to read this whole statement, watch out, you are too smart for the government to function, and you might be put on some FBI or CIA watch list. So to save the government time and money, (lord knows we need it), I am a non-violent christian who was born in america, and I love OUR country, yes it belong to us. Democracy=rule by the people.

Answer 4

Making Bush and Co. even Richer. We had no business going there in the 1st place . If we wanted Saddam out so bad we should have given the Iraqi 's the weapons they needed and let them do it themselves Our fight was in Afghanistan where bin-Laden was hiding instead we went to Iraq for no valid reason and let bin-Laden escape Oh by the way the people we were fighting in Afghanistan were the same people we helped to put into power We seem to do a lot of that lately Don't We?

Answer 5

Bush invaded Iraq to impress Jodie Foster.

Answer 6

1. Our president is a billionaire.
All current presidents are wealthy. The cost of running for President is very expensive.
2. He made his money in the OIL industry.
3. Iraq has a LOT of oil.
4.Once we get things settled down; and it will happen. We have been in WORSE countries and we settled them down, too.
then the oil will flow and USA oil companies will make even more money.
And our president will make even more money.

It is ALWAYS about money.
People at the TOP in employment ONLY care about money.

If Haiti had oil, we would be attacking them, too.

Answer 7

Start with Iraq invades Kuwait, and read to the present.

Answer 8

I don't know why a hell the US is in Iraq (I assume this is a Yank, Brits know how to form a sentence).

Answer 9

Thank you for asking such a simple question. It forced me to think in terms of an equally simple answer... And here it is -

They're feeding the military-industrial complex. It got hungry.

Answer 10

fighting terroism, or didn't you get the memo. When are you people going to realize that George Bush is our president. You don't get to be president unless you're a good honest man. If he says this will help stop terrorism we has a people have to trust him.
