Bush did that?

Answer 1

No he didn't. if liberals win that's what we have to look forward to here in our country.

If we're over there for just the oil then what are the terrorist over there fighting for?

Answer 2

The premis of your question is patently invalid. Define "good" and "bad" its all a point of view. Everyone wants freedom, "good" or "bad". We are not fighting for "good" people, we are ineptly prosecuting a losing battle. Iraq has nothing to do with the national goal of protecting America. Iraq was not involved in terrorist attacks against the US. Many people, including myself, warned the President that an occupation of Iraq would eventually lead to failure. Bush's political ambitions and willingness to appease war profitters has got us where we are today. Sun Tzu said in 500 BC in "The Art of War" that the needless prosecution of a prolonged conflict would eventually lead to failure.
I do not disagree about eliminating the governments of Iraq and Afghanistan. But attempting to nation build in this area of the world has historically led to failure. We would have been much better off if we would have neutralized the standing governmental structures, entrenched forces to secure the borders of Iraq and Afghanistan from intervention by Iran and Syria, occupied the oil fields and placed oil proceeds into a trust account for the eventual emergent Iraqi government, and then simply informed those countries and the rest of the world that the US will not tolerate threats to its physical or economic survival. We would have offered post-war assistance to the peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan only if and when requested by them, and would withdraw this assistance at the first hint of violence against US personnel on the ground. Then, working with our international partners, we could have continued to prosecute the war on terror, applying our national power in a positive way supported by the world community. Instead, Bush has conducted a cowboy war which has diminished US prestige around the globe and made the world a much more dangerous place. Foreign policy is not as simplistic as you or the GOP would lead us to believe...

Answer 3

Since when did the good people of Iraq invite us there. I don't remember them pleading to the U.S. for help. Bush made a decision to invade Iraq, who had done nothing to us, regardless of what he wants to ram down our throats. If people do not think Bush wants to control Iraq and the oil there, take the bag off your head.

Answer 4

Let me guess, you also think we should go kick Korean a$$ too. The good people in Iraq want freedom almost as much as they want us out. It may have something to do with murdering and raping their people, it may have something to do with a disarming of the good people but the people who want to keep the guns fight, it may have something to do with the devastation of their ability to properly feed and educate themselves, it may have something to do with the fact that a foreign nation with no good reason decided that they wanted democracy (an ideal we think is right for them), or it may have something to do with the fighting, gunshots, insecurity and general hell they are experiencing. I dont care if you think we did it for oil, if we did it for GW, if we did it to prevent terrorism, or whatever other reason. We are not the international schoolground monitor. Its not our business to be over there. But most importantly, its the continued consequences of our actions that we continue to ignore that is reprehensible.

So, you ask me "Bush did that?", I say part of the responsible lies in the lap of the oh so brave commander and cheif, hail Hi, I mean GW, due to the fact that this was his decision, his continued folly and his continued efforts to gather support for these efforts. The other part of the responsibility is yours (and mine) in the fact that we elected the people (heaven forbid we were stupid enough to do it twice) responsible for the support in these actions.

I personally feel that no person in the US deserves the nation that we have built, and we should hang our heads in greater shame than that of Nazi era Germans as we slowly dis-assemble every weapon we have come to own. Shame on us! Shame on US!

Answer 5

All these killers are not produced by the US overnight, they are ready to kill:

US soldiers, citizens
Sunni on Shiite, or even
rival Shiite militia on Shiite militia and
Iraqi Sunni on foriegn Sunni, and
Al Queda willing to kill anyone just to cause anarchy!

Answer 6

Because most people in the USA is a democrat, and we all know Bush aint one, hehe... we gotta think opposites what he says naw mean? But yes, freedom and peace costs something unfortunately human lives, but the reward is something even better.

Answer 7

Hmm, let me think...because we kicked the doors down and occupyed the country?

And now we wont leave, even when we make the situation worse? Please, if your going to talk about 'Good' and 'Bad' people, i suggest you get in touch with the real world
