Whos sick of it?

Question

Whos sick of everyone (average citizens and politicians) saying the war is Bush's fault? Most of Congress and the majority of the UN said Saddam was a threat, and someone needed to take action. Even alot of the Democrats were supporting the invasion back in 2003. Some things went wrong: but not terribly wrong; and all of a sudden all these supporters were saying they never supported the war and Bush is running the country into the ground. There are always going to be people that dont see whats going on, all they see is the media; Which sadly is most of American citizens. Everyone was for it, we went in, we lost under 3000 troops in close to 4 years compared to WWI and WWII where the casualties were close to 500000 by that time. And that was to help Europe against Hitler; Liberate overrun Europe from Nazi Germany; so we can liberate one country loosing 500000, but cant liberate another loosing 3000? Wheres the logic in that even where the 3000 has WMD?

Well, Im sick of it, who else?

Answer 1

Kudos for you for thinking instead of being led by the ultra liberal media. Although Bush has made some mistakes, big ones, the democrats are banging their drums over this in hopes of winning an election. Everyone is for a war if we are kicking butt. Grenada? Remember that? Where were all the liberals then? Oh, and God bless those lost in the war, but when you sign up for the military, it is kind of assumed that war may be a part of it, right? There is no such thing as a free lunch. I admire those people and think we should be proud of them, not sit outside fences and gripe.

Answer 2

Everyone was NOT for the war- everyone was for inspections. And the inspectors were looking for what??? Oh yeah- check your facts, those ancient cannisters of depleted mustard gas that pre-date the original gulf war do *NOT* constitute WMDs that American soldiers needed to die over. While it hasn't been conclusively proven that Saddam didn't have WMDs (since you cannot prove a negative), it's clear that we still haven't found any, and it looks very much like there simply weren't any there to find. It was a bluff on Saddam's part and the world bought it- hook, line and sinker.

Yes, most of the U.N. agreed Saddam was a threat, but most of the U.N. didn't buy the immediate threat idea. Guess they were smarter than ol Dubya- AGAIN.

Casualty counts aren't the issue- our casualties in this conflict have been light by comparison, but our diverting resources to Iraq instead of the real terrorist threats facing our country (and the pathetic rationalizations from the administration to try and sell Iraq as part of the same conflict) are an embarassment.

The Iraq war may (repeat MAY) have been a noble idea, if you give Bush the benefit of the doubt- which is something the American people have no reason to do. But in any event, it was NOT a good idea in terms of our national interest, and it's certainly something that we couldn't afford, economically or politically. We're already looking at a very long, very ugly recovery period.

Answer 3

The secret here is to look deeper than the surface... who pushed for the war? Who has the most to gain? Your naivete, while understandable, is nevertheless disconcerting as you may well be representative of over a fifth of the voting American pubic who are still duped about the real story behind our 2-story political system: we don't really have a TRUE democracy in this nation that purports it does... what we DO have is a cleverly engineered oligarchy that remains within the strangle-hold of "big players" like the pharmaceuticals, multi-nationals, BIG OIL, etc. It's all about control, power, & money. We as a people have no REAL power anymore... and we are three orchestrated terrorist attacks from imposed marshal law... the contrivances of which these secret, behind-the-scenes "puppet-masters" are capable cannot even be fathomed as if the public actually starts to wield some collective power that does not tie into their agendas - like "referendums" to dispand with all "incumbents" and start fresh in Congress with all new talent... supposedly, if 3/4 of the U.S. populace signed a referendum to that effect, the Congess would have to oblige ( I reckon a three term band on previous congressmen & senators from running for office would do the trick!). But that's a veritible "pipedream" as the entrenched 2-party system and military industruial complex are part of the control heirarchy. I suggest you read "Rule by Secrecy" by Jim Marrs. This trend & "avarice for power" is age-old, and you if the look for simple oppositional-minded answers to the situation in the Mid-east and for that matter the whole geo-political scene, the tellers of "half-truths" will be more-than-willing to endoctrinate your unbaptised mind... Beware the 2-party system, it's set up to make us believe in the present charade of "collective power."

Ask yourself this: "Why don't we have a 'vote of confidence' as part of the political mechanics at the federal level." Because it would be too disruptive to the opportunistic & corrupted political machine in Washington D.C. - Do you think the poiticians there would ever back an ammendment to that effect? Ya, right!

Answer 4

Your question is poorly phrased and spelled and, as is typical of conservative ranting, your "facts" are wrong.

The majority of the UN did NOT support the invasion of Iraq.

As has only very recently come to light (despite the concerted efforts of the Bush Administration to keep it secret), even our British allies STRONGLY urged us NOT to invade and that the "evidence" for WMD was, at best, shaky.

All we see is "the media"? Hell, Junior, most of "the media" are lapdogs and apologists for the astonishingly contemptible Bush Administration. When even Republicans start telling the truth that Iraq is a clusterfu*k, you may safely assume things there are hopeless.

BTW, why does the Bush Administration forbid photographs of our returning dead?

If you think it's OK for someone to die for Bush's lies, perhaps you'll volunteer for the task of breaking the news to the families of the dead while telling them how "right" Bush was.

Answer 5

You know what i am sick of hearing how USA saved the world in ww2 we all know the only reason you got into the war was because you were bombed at Pearl Habour the war had been going for years and your President didnt want to get involved and think of all the Jews that might not of died if you had come in earlier Its not that we are not gratful we are but for gods sake read the history books it made it worse that rosaveltt was a Jew who ignored his own people for the almighty dollar

Answer 6

It has to do with economics. Hitler was threatening our economy by getting closer and closer to our shores. Money is a great motivator.

Iraq is economics also; we are there because of the oil. But Iraq is not the ONLY source of oil in the world. If it was, the war would be over in a month! So we are moving a bit more slower in Iraq.

Answer 7

Ya.. You bet I'm sick of it.. Ever wonder what they would be bitching about if we didn't go over there, And there was no Golden Gate bridge, No Statue of Liberty, No Empire State building,, Because terrorists took them out.. We have lost 3000 service personal in this war.. Still not as many lost on 9/11. Your right dude.. there are a lot of shallow thinking people around us.

Answer 8

Don't try to compare Iraq and WWII. Hitler was trying to conquer ALL of Europe. We lost so many troops because we were fighting THREE countries. Japan, Germany, and Italy.

So yes I am sick of people asking questions like this w/o picking up A BOOK.

Answer 9

Not to worry. When the Dems lose next week, the war will be safe for another two years.And, if I am wrong, and they win, and we get a city nuked by terrorists, that will be the end of the lieberals.
