Was fighting Iraq a mistake by Bush?

Question

do you approve of going into iraq?

Answer 1

yes - does everyone forget the reason we are there? Is everybody just a bunch of I hate America but I choose to live here ingrates? So to all of them - If you hate ur country so much - get the hell out. If you choose to stay support your country- we fight to defend our nation - our rights and our freedom - there is no draft so who the hell is anyone to protest men and women who chose to go to Iraq - chose to enroll in the military to defend their country -
Everyone thinks it is cool to be some radical liberal protestor - and more than half of them don't even know anything about what they are protesting about - get a clue people - they voted for Kerry and love Michael Moore - poor poor lost people.
As Americans - we have to support each other - division is what make countries fail yet everyone needs to have some damn issue - like we just go places and fight to kill people.
None of these sh*t talkers are even over there fighting - they are too chicken so who the hell are they to talk and argue we have no right to be there.
We are over there for a reason - wake the hell up America - or get the hell out!

People abuse these rights that we are so lucky to have - Bush this Bush that - he is a good president - a real person - who has handled this the best way anyone could - would Kerry have done better --- haha I guess the majority ruled on that one

Like all these comments criticizing Bush - you are all so uninformed it is scary- and you are the new generation - that is so frightening - all for AA and Hilary Clinton and - wake u you sad sad people who have NO clue what you are talking about - you were the mistake - that you never even knew enough to learn and inform yourself before speaking - to adopt some other loser's opinions as your own - get some sense of self - all these damn liberals think they are cool - they have a purpose - they are tearing America apart - even with the Pledge of Allegiance - can't say God and oh no the Nativity Scene is discrimination to others - are you all joking? - Am I going to wake up from this bad dream? Please tell me I am - morons - PATHETIC - people died - people attacked the USA - did that not wake you up or let me guess?? you think that the government set that all up - I can't believe you people - get out of the country - stop complaining about the leader of the nation and support him - we are there for sooooo many reason - how could anyone even try to deny that? You have NO RIGHT! NO RIGHT IT IS SICKENING - EITHER SUPPORT YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR GOVERNMENT OR GET THE **** OUT OF THE COUNTRY YOU CRITICIZE - GO LIVE IN IRAQ - GO AHEAD YOU PHONY NO NOTHING DRAMA QUEENS WHO HAVE NO BRAIN - NO INTELLIGENCE AND NO EDUCATION.

Answer 2

When I place my first name last and last name first on a registration form that requires me to write my name in the opposite order of what I just said, that is a mistake. When I misspell a word in Yahoo Answers, that is a mistake. When I urinate into a toilet, and miss, that is a mistake.

What Bush did, by going into Iraq under a false pretext isn’t a mistake; it was a crime. It was a deliberate attempt to profit both materially and politically off of the misery of other people. His violent escapade has cost the loss of more than 2000 of our soldiers, with an average of 2 to three dieing per day, and thousands more Iraqi civilians dying every month. Whatever good will Bush had from the Islamic world, after 9/11, was squandered. Now even the moderates in the Muslim world have been radicalized.

To call Bush and his administration’s incursion into Iraq a mistake is to trivialize just how truly grave the situation is in Iraq. To just label it a blunder, is like saying the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the equivalent of our pilots farting over Japanese airspace.

Answer 3

No it was not a mistake, Saddam Hussein was a legitimate threat not only to us, but to the region as whole. Do I approve of going into Iraq? Yes. That was a good choice. The people of Iraq are happier than they have ever been their country is growing and for the most part, they are happy that they are liberated from that bunghole. No matter what the media says, the Iraqis are happy we are there. Having been there myself, I can say that honestly.

Answer 4

Oh yeah. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11, and thats the whole reason we went to war in the first place. People have forgotten the reason that we are even at war, and now its all about Iraq. What about Osama? Terrorism? What happened to that war? Now it's a war for no cause, and we're in a hole so deep, dug by ourselves, that we can't even see the reason we went to war. Yes Iraq was the wrong place to go. But now we're there, and we have to see it through. But each day with focus put on Iraq is another day Osama has to plot.

Answer 5

Fighting the Saddam regime is one thing, Invasion is another, we had no reason to do so.Not one border State wanted the USA to invade Iraq. Saddam was growing weaker from Sanctions his Military was near destroyed in the Gulf War- he was a big mouth Dictator but no real threat to anyone.
It was obviously a mistake to invade and then occupy Iraq, thinking we could turn them into a Democracy and puppet of the USA-

Answer 6

Going into Iraq and stopping saddam was a very good intention by bush, but staying to try and help a country that no one else seems to want and help like the us is doing um no, we are going to come away from that as a lost in human life, finacial and more than likely a country that will destroyed its self anyway

Answer 7

NO I DONT APPROVE IT! it was a very big mistake of bush, and he is very familiar with these kind of mistakes. all Americana cried over the ppl died in 9/11 coz they knew the value of a human life.. but i just wanna ask who is responsible for the lives lost in IRAQ??? i again wanna ask who is responsible for the lives lost in Palestine??? you may have 100s of 1000 answer for this but the truth is AMERICAN GOVERNMENT..
i read an article in one American magazine a year ago.. it was written by a Senior journalist, in that article he had written HOW BUSH LOST THE WAR OF IRAQ..

Answer 8

Totally, huge mistake, and the popular media may tell you otherwise, but soldiers who return are heros sure but they become more than that, most have post dramatic stress disorder and some become a burden on their families and the economy because the taces we pay go to pay the veterans...The US is losing millions each day because of this war which was poorly thought through.... THere was a huge lack of diplomacy during the pre-invasion period....there are soo many theories about this topic but i believe that a war-time economy right now is horrible to have....not only is poverty up and our population growing but we're in a huge debt and no war is gonna boost our economy or nationalism because there are also domestic issues unresolved splitting up our country like immigration and other social-political dilemmas

Answer 9

sure!

and i would go on to say that Bush has been the worst thing to happen to US

He has made sure that more than 2 thirds of the world hates Americans !
which of course is uncalled for!
Americans as a nation are a wonderful people! i have many American friends!

but have had there share of bad luck in great leaders!

by the way i am a Pakistani and i am studying in Germany

Answer 10

doesn't that kind of answer itself? Of course, it was a mistake, but he'll never admit it. This war has nothing to do with terrorism, and everything to do with oil. Bush is too stupid to do anything for the right reasons. He was avenging his daddy, and it didn't matter if Iraq had millions of pounds of WMD's or none, he was going in come hell or highwater. The only bigger mistake was the hoards of dumb American voters who actually reelected this moron!
