Want to know what the problem with the war in Iraq is?

Question

we didn't go in full force and level the place...like most americans we are so careful and don't want to upset anyone that we hold back. the dem's voted for it but then pissed and moaned it was too violent...hell if they'd had clinton take care of it on his watch we'd not had to deal with this mess...you want to blame someone blame bush, sr. and clinton for not having the b**** to do what needed to be done...you face a bully you pop him hard enough so he doesn't get back up otherwise you're just facing a pissed bully which is a lot harder to take down

ah plus being french is a drag did you not notice the question at the top or were you so angry that you just wanted to name calling and rant against me? se la vie

nerdly stud is an oxymoron....come say that to my face....scared? you ought to be.

3d farms...you place blame on the guilty party...the whiney *** dem's and their oh we'll vote for the war but please let's not let anyone get hurt in it....why did they vote for it then....they are cowards and weasels who stand for nothing unless the polls give it high marks or it tears this country and its citizens apart.

Answer 1

You nailed it.

Answer 2

Actually, President George H. W. Bush and his military advisors, including General Colin Powell, decided to let Saddam remain in power, with about half of his original army personnel and some of his artillery and armor which had not been destroyed. This was done because Saddam was a secular leader, not a religious fanatic like Iran's leader at that time. It was hoped that Saddam would buffer the middle east against Iran. Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, to add Kuwait's wealth and oil to his own, had already been defeated.

Answer 3

Clinton actually tried to do something about the terrorist problem, but congress voted against him and went with Operation Ignore, which was still in effect when Bush Jr. Took office.

And Bush Sr. realized that taking out Saddam could have upset the already tedious balance the Middle East has. Kurds + Shiites + Sunnis are there itching for a civil war, and a bunch of middle eastern countries are dying to get more oil. Not only that, but with the recent rise of china, and their actions when we refused to give up an oil company, reflect that they too (plus russia), would waltz in there for cheap oil .

And might I also suggest, because of the Geneva Convention also restricts what we can do towards the situtation. Namely, drop like a pile of bricks.

Answer 4

We are there now and no matter who or how , that's water under the bridge and we can't go back to hash all that . What matters now , is who is in charge of this invasion today . And what are they going to do about it . Are they just going to let it drag on and on forever and meanwhile we are losing more and more soldiers . When will it become to many , being killed . This is the Republicans war , I hope they know what to do to end it . Although I have my doubts . They were gungho to get into it but no idea how to get out , so lets blame something on the Dem's , to take the blame off us .

Answer 5

OK But you know there are Innocent people over there.That did nothing to us.They should have gone over there for Bin Leiden. That is the only mistake that was made.
I hate Pr Bush too,but he helped us get thru a tuff time.

Answer 6

Don't you realize that blaming the President for everything is the thing to do?

On Tuesday I Farted.....It was a Nasty Stinky Fart.......

So I came here and asked why I Farted and 80% of the people who Answered Blamed President Bush, before my question got deleted............

You can put up as many Facts as you want but people are still going to Blame Bush for EVERYTHING because they are Either Ignorant or just too Young to Know Better.........

Answer 7

Did anyone explain to you that this isn't a blog, Genius?

I guess that's why you're sitting at a computer in the basement and not running the country.

Answer 8

you got that right....it seemed we went in with kid gloves. plus americans are so impatient they think it should take days to overcome decades of oppression and extremism. they also think democracy will not change anything but look at iraq now they still have violence, heck they have lived with that for generations but now they are reaching out to the outside world, they are voting, women are voting. they are going to school and rebuilding their world and our military is helping them do all of this. yeah, war is hell as they say but sometimes you go to go through hell to get to heaven

Answer 9

"We had to destroy the village in order to save it."

Let's hear it for General Westmoreland, folks!

Seriously, though. Ever hear the expression leave it better than you found it? Seems like it was a successful approach to World War II.

Answer 10

what happened to this nation. Sides, extremists, moderates...we have so many names to name so many people...

Answer 11

The real problem is nobody leveled you and your home yet.
