Waste and ulterior and there are misspelled in your question, and the answer is NO. Remember after the holocaust when we said NEVER AGAIN? Well Saddam tried it again only it was Kurds rather than jews... People, especially liberals, so easily forget that tiny little detail. Perhaps if it were their children and families getting gassed the memory would remain a bit longer.

This is a question asked too often by too many. All I wanted to say was that you misspelled 'waste', the one you have is a part of the body, dead between the midsection and the pelvis. Just wanted to tell you before some feeb comes along and attacks your grammar, rather than asking the question.

It's definitely not a waste of time. Our military is developing expertise in killing terrorists. Which is time well spent.
Oh, and anyone who says the war is about oil, is just an idiot puking up notions spoon-fed to them by the main-stream media. It's so easy to say: It's about OIL. Morons... We can get oil from anywhere we want. WE HAVE A LOT OF MONEY....
We just need to keep killing those Islamonazi terrorists. Who knows, maybe today is the day we killed the guy who was planning on flying another plane into an office building...

As a liberal, I found a truism. Money is the second most powerful force in the Universe next to gravity. So with that in mind, let me offer a lesson on a theory of mine on Bush’s War on Terror and then tell me how you feel, now. So please be open minded for what I’m saying to you.
In the first few lesson of a basic economics course, they cover Monopolies and Cartels. Cartels, a group of suppliers, such as OPEC, corner markets by artificially controlling and restraining the supply of any item in demand, such as oil, to drive up prices and profitability. Typically under a free market system, Cartels typically fail due to the cheating element when one member secretly cheating against the group by selling under the table. It only takes one major supplier to cheat to break the Cartel. When this discipline fails with the Cartels, the whole thing falls to the free market system where prices match a natural level of supply and demand.
With that in mind…take a look at Iraq before George W. Bush. A 10 year war with Iran and complete devastating loss to the Americans in Desert Storm has beaten Saddam down. Broke and barely hanging on to power Saddam is bribing every sympathetic UN officials during the “Food for Oil” program. He trying to get sanctions lifted so he can make it to the free market because he is desperate need of money to hang on to power. Plus he is now hates personally the King of Saudi Arabia and the Emir of Kuwait and would love to burst their OPEC bubble. If Saddam makes it to the free market with his oil, he makes a bunch of money and he hurts his rivals, the Kings of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
To preserve OPEC, The King of Saudi Arabia tells George W. Bush that Saddam must go. Bush and the Arabian Kings trumped up charges of WMDs against Saddam along with some other bad stuff, which were probably true. Americans are so mad after 9-11 they don’t care who gets their Azzes kicked. Saddam is removed to preserve the OPEC oil cartel not save us from Saddam blowing us up. No WMDs were found.
Proof is simple. After five years of Saddam’s removal, No Iraqi oil is hitting the world market. The Iraqis are buying oil from the Saudis/Kuwaitis to keep their daily lives going. Americans are paying for the rebuilding of Iraq.
Now if my theory is correct. Who LOST? Bush has spent billions getting close to a trillion of US assets to preserve OPEC. We have lost 3000 or so troops during this process. At home, the US consumers got robbed at the pump and the domestic economy had got strangled due to the high cost of energy. Who WON? All friends of Bush: OPEC Members, Texas Oil Business People, and Military Contractors.
Don’t believe me ask any college economics professor if what I’m saying is plausible. If I’m right, maybe conservatives should start questioning their country’s leadership about their motives. If this is true we all have been cheated, liberals and conservatives alike.

Well giving freedom to a country led by a tyrant is good, and I haven't seen any oil tankers in NY Harbor so it is not about the oil.

Bush knows that if he packs up the troops and leaves, there is absolutely no chance of accessing the oil he went after in the first place.
That's why Bush is so adamant about convincing his brainwashed followers that the American influence must remain in Iraq. Oil. Oil. Oil.
The guerilla fighters are equipped to stay the course so this occupation will go on forever and ever with troops dying every day.

As soon as Saddam's regime was toppled we should've left. Forget about establishing a Democratic-Rebublic there. They'd rahter have anarchy.
