Why do Liberal People Scream. . 'Over 3000 Dead Soldiers in Iraq'. .. when?

Question

the very first DAY of the war we could've lost thousands ??!!

We were prepared for major casualties ! We could've been losing hundreds or thousands EACH WEEK . But we didn't . It's tough to 'celebrate' such a victory, but it's been a HUGE VICTORY . People do die in war . Our people and the enemy's people . As a veteran, I can tell you that every one of us is aware and prepared to die if necessary, but we always keep in mind that it's much better to let the enemy die for his country and for us to live SAVING OURS .

Can't some of you 'SEE THROUGH' the propaganda ??

One of you respondents NEEDS to re-read the question.. . . see : hundreds OR thousands

Answer 1

It's the liberal way. Aided by their media division,they cause mass confusion and hysteria by broadcasting lies, and false data to support it. They continually contradict themselves (often within the same paragraph or speech). They are the first to criticize anything our president does yet offer no better solutions themselves. I think however as this younger generation, aided by our advanced communications technologies, will begin to see for themselves the liberal agenda for what it is. You are just one example of this. Compare liberal goals with communist goals, interesting, right?

Answer 2

Over 2500 of those 3000 deaths have been since the presidents pronouncement that "major combat operations in Iraq are over". The casualty count didn't need to be that high. The war has been mismanaged since the beginning. That's not my opinion. That's the opinion of commanders and former commanders in Iraq who know a hell of a lot more about the situation there than you or I.

Answer 3

We can "See Thru the propaganda"
So, let‘s look at the record. Before Mr. Bush was elected he said he was no nation builder. Nation building was wrong for America. Now he says it is vital for America. He said he would never have put U.S. troops under foreign control. Today U.S. troops observe Iraqi restrictions.

He told us about WMDs, mobile labs, secret sources, aluminum tubing, yellow cake. He has told us the war is necessary because Saddam was a threat, because of 9/11, because of Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda, because of terrorism in general, to liberate Iraq, to spread freedom, to spread democracy, to keep the oil out of the hands of potentially terrorist controlled states, because this was a guy who tried to kill his dad.

In pushing for and prosecuting this war, he passed on chances to get Abu Musab al Zarqawi, Moqtada al Sadr, Osama bin Laden. He sent in fewer troops than recommended. He disbanded the Iraqi army and deBaathified the government. He short changed Iraqi training. He did not plan for widespread looting, nor the explosion of sectarian violence. He sent in troops without life saving equipment, gave job to foreign contractors and not the Iraqis, staffed U.S. positions in Iraq based on partisanship, not professional experience.

We learned that America had prevailed, mission accomplished, the resistance was in its last throws. He has said that more troops were not necessary and more troops are necessary, and that it‘s up to the generals, and then removed some of the generals who said more troops would be necessary.

He told us of turning points, the fall of Baghdad, the death of Uday and Qusay, the capture of Saddam, a provisional government, the trial of Saddam, a charter, a constitution, an Iraqi government, elections, purple fingers, a new government, the death of Saddam. We would be greeted as liberators with flowers, as they stood up, we would stand down. We would stay the course. We would never stay the course. The enemy was al Qaeda, was foreigners, was terrorist, was Baathists.

The war would pay for itself. It was cost 1.7 billion dollars, 100 billion, 400 billion, half a trillion dollars. And after all of that, today it is his credibility versus that of generals, diplomats, allies, Republicans, Democrats, the Iraq Study Group, past presidents, voters last November, and the majority of the American people.

That is the propaganda. That is why we should not believe another word from this monster's lips. THAT is why another American solider should not have to die for this man's greed, this man's arrogance, this man's EGO!

Liberals respect the troops.
Liberals have family members who are out there.
Liberals honor the troops when we say "Bring them HOME!"

Answer 4

yes, people die in war, i think many have the same questions i do, if we are at war, why havent we declared war officially? also, what exactly is the purpose of this war? why in the world would the national guard be involved in this? or the reserves? have we used up all of our active duty forces so that the reserves are necessary? there are many unanswered questions, basically we have gotten involved in a civil war,,,,,,, we as a country must accept and recognize what we are doing and why,,,,,not put out or believe the propaganda,,,, that we are making huge inroads into ending terrorism or nuclear disarmament,,,,

Answer 5

I'm not sure how we "could've lost thousands" the first day but what does that have to do with committing aggression against another country? AND MAKE NO MISTAKE: THAT IS WHAT IT WAS.
You do not mention the thousands of Iraqi civilians killed. We tend to not count them....after all, they are not American.
I'm not sure how this statistic is comforting to the families who buried sons and husbands (and daughters and mothers) and to the people now walking around on artificial limbs.

Answer 6

I was unaware this service from Yahoo! was meant for holy rolling righties to post rhetorical questions.
As a fellow veteran i applaud you for you service and am very proud of my own. However, perhaps a lot of the fuss is from people like myself disagreed with going in with out UN backing. while it's turned into a slow bureaucracy we could have leverage right now in global politics with the crisis in Iraq and even the inevitable one in Iran.
Our cowboy commander in chief has painting himself, along with the country, into a corner busting in there with no help except for a token force sent by the UK. Incidentally, the UK very quietly recalled about half it's force under the cover of his speech this week. I would certainly have gone there, followed my orders, and done right by my comrades, but i would have done so despite our bumbling chicken hawk President not because of him.
The real quagmire will be when Iran all, but annexes Iraq and we go to the UN with hat in hand trying to drum up help in disarming them. We'll be on our own thanks to this buffoon.

Answer 7

it is humorous that you ask for validation at the same time as providing none your self. let me answer your question with a question, Why do you imagine a open talk of the information is a foul element? might want to you somewhat the information were saved secret, or is it basically their talk that bothers you? The electorate of London and Madrid might want to disagree with the mission being "localized". have you ever not considered the comments of the tutorial camps in Pakistan being complete back? there have been acts of terror international huge, the actual incontrovertible fact that there have been none right here does not validate your element, in spite of each and everything, there have been none in the course of the Clinton administration, yet you blame Clinton for 9/11 (what color is the sky on your international?). Please use something to boot a foul Kurt Russell movie as a foundation on your view of global activities.

Answer 8

So you are basically saying that 3000 dead American soldiers are insignificant because it could have been a lot more.

Well, we were told there would be hardly ANY casualties.

I think you are also forgetting about the 30,000 injured. Is that insignificant?

I suppose you think that the 2800 killed on 9/11 were insignificant because it COULD have been all 50,000 who were employed at the WTC.

Think a little bit before you post such drivel.

Answer 9

the problem is non of them should have died. This war has been fought on a bed of misinformation and lies. We wanted to stop the taliban, not change iraqs govt so we can have trade with them. Not camp out for 3 years as the people of the country begin to hate and kill us.

Answer 10

How is it propaganda to state a fact: 3,000 soldiers have bravely given their lives for this cause. I humbly salute them and pray for their families.

Yes we could have lost more. We could have also had better inteligence and not gotten into this mess of a war. Coulda's don't get us anywhere. We need real strategies for the future.
