Do you question ther war in Iraq because you feel you were lied to?

Question

That is why I do. Tell me about it.

Condi- I would not under-estimate my citizens' intelligence. Lying is a fatal error - right or wrong. I understand national security, but ........

Russian scientists supply knowledge, Korea is a greater threat, and many other countries hate us just as much.....why Iraq?

Son of Sam - Green Jello fan? Me too. Countries don't go to war over single man threats. They get them all the time. Try again.

Answer 1

Sorry, I never bought it from the start. There was no credible evidence from the get-go if you ask me and you did.

Answer 2

I question the war in Iraq because I don't give a crap about Iraq.

I don't think we were lied to. I believe they actually thought all that crap was there. Even Clinton thought it was there. Remember when he bombed the babyfood factory because he believed it was a chemical weapons plant?

I believe 12 years and 18 resolutions violated by Saddam required the UN to do something, not the US. NOBODY cares about Iraq, not even the Iraqi's. Now insurgents can go there an kill Americans. They don't have to come to America. Screw the lot of them. The US never should have gone in there. They should have concentrated on killing every living thing in the mountains of Afganistan, then come home.

Here's the question that should be asked:

What should be flat and black and glows in the dark? And the answer should be IRAQ!!

There's more than one way to deliver nuclear energy to the middle east. Change that place from sand to glass and see who screws with America AND we can bring our people HOME where they can guard OUR borders!!

Iraq. Screw Iraq.

Answer 3

I question the US ability to stick it out long enough.

I questioned the war at the beginning. I was pretty up to speed on radical Islam, and I felt we were going in to a situation we never dreamed of.

But I remember well that everyone, including Mr. Kerry supported the war.

Now, everyone is blaming Bush. Ironically, I have become a staunch Bush supporter and supporter of our efforts in Iraq.

I hate the hypocrisy I am seeing from the liberals over this war.

Answer 4

truthfully, oil and plus we had three idiots listen to an idiot, also the with holding of information is a crime that my people punish harshlly... but that was a long time ago, as for the national security, truth be told it was nothing more then a belief, now that it's too late to do any thing about it I hope everyone sees that...my question is when will humans stop killing eachother for petty reasons!...I'm sorry I got carried away, I hate seeing lives lost, eispeshally on a lost and hopeless cause and if anyone of the government sees this all the better.

Answer 5

No. I don't think the clinton administration lied about THAT:



"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998.

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.

Answer 6

No.
The information that was present prior to the bipartisan vote to approve of an invasion was available to all representatives. Obviously, in hind sight, some of the information was definitely questionable at best.
However, our representatives did not have the benefit of the hindsight that now prompts our suspicions - and they voted the way they did because if they hadn't, and the intelligence proved to be correct - well, simply put, that was a risk we could not take.

Answer 7

No, I question it because the politicians will not let the military do it's job. If they had, it would have been over two years ago. A military is there to kill more of the enemy than they kill of us, that's how a war is won. Our know it all politicians have tied the military's hands and they cannot be as aggressive as they need to be to get it done. It's Washington's fault, not the Generals. If Bush had a set, he would have told them to get it done but he listened to polls.

Answer 8

I think most people are too dense and self involved to care about what happens to the people in other countries. It is our job to police the world, other nations wish to participate but they sit around issuing embargoes trying to make a country correct its behavior when whats its leaders really need is swift kick in the ***. Yeah, it is our job to police the world, we're the only ones with balls big enough that God gave the ability too.

Answer 9

I do not question the war.I do question the strategy.Let the military do what the military is supposed to do.KICK SOME *** without worrying if it is politically correct.Here we go again.Let the politicians run a war and this is what you get.

Answer 10

I don't question the war! The war is an on going thing. What I question is the Americans reasoning on not wanting to win. Most of it is political. This not can we win, it is we must win!
