For goodness sakes, either stop pretending to be an American or learn to speak the language. Apples and oranges, dear...apples and oranges.

i don't like this war ether. sad to say we will be fight this war ether here or there. it makes me very mad that we would try to impeach Bill Clinton and not George Bush. Iraq was not a threat then. tell George bush mad it so.
with no end insite. the money going to fight this war is not going to are troops. its to rich contractors. are troops are paid very little. fact if we spent more on the troops and let them do as they are trained, and stop running the war from d.c we would be wining in Iraq.
this is the fewest casualties,the fewest troops ever sent out to a major conflict. we have the tools the power but there hands are tied. troops win wars not politicians they just mess things up.
if we started buying stuff made here at home as much as possible stopped buying oil from the ether countries demanded the use of bio-fuels and only cars that use that fuel. the terrorists would be pore and not a major threat.
think about this the money given to candidates for 2008 elections is in the trillions, the money given contractors in Iraq trillions,money to buy oil trillions, and money sent from us to china for goods trillions. the American people need stand up and see who they are benefiting. its not are people i can say that much. stop paying are enemy's to kill us.

no, it is not fair, but you had your chance to stop it three years ago, and all I heard was four more years, well you got your four more years.

War is a part of life & right or wrong no matter the reasons there always will be war & a need to defend one's self. Yes more should be done to help less fortunate people abroad & more importantly here in the states but Americans do more then their share in that area especially on a world stage & can't do everything. I know there are kids on the street & single moms or poor people but we have programs that are made to help them all & yes more should be done but first we need to make the systems work because as they are now they are just helping those who dont really need help & like you said going to the wrong people. Take wellfare. I believe in the system but it's flawed badly & giving more money to it isnt going help anymore the it does now if the systems isnt working to begin with. Soldiers are unpaid that's congresses fault Republican or Democrat its congress that does that & pays poorly when it comes to treatment & training for those permanantly hurt because of war but at the same time again there is always going to be war & a need for soldiers & security & the soldiers today in America all 100% volunteered to join knowning full well they might have to go to war which is why I dont beleive in the concensious objector clause anymore. Someone can play soldier for the college money or training but when it comes to do the job you agreed to COs claim they dont agree & yet expect to still get benefits or money. Our prisons are over crowded why not let alone the gangbangers to fight in Iraq? Whats to stop them. I & my friends joined because we wanted to & chose to most stayed in & did so knowning they would have to go back even die & if you ask the vast majority of troops even national guard or reserves they would all say the same thing. Does everyone of course not its hard losing friends its hard being away from friends & family especially when you might die but again the military is all volunteered & the military never sugar coated the possibility of going to war even before 9/11 let alone after so anyone signing up after especially knew exactly what they were getting into & thus needs to just accept it. Does it suck yes but again no matter the party or politics no matter the president or next one the fact is that things are not that bad over there & mistakes were made from both parties & have been for years again mostly because of congress especailly when it comes to pay. Soldiers get automatic raises of 2% or so a year for inflation yet congress gives itself 5% raises almost raisely again party aside & yet they make more money as it is thus increasing their extra in come that much more. 5% of $100k is $5,000 yet for soldier making $30k a 2% raise is like $1,000 a year. Last time I checked a senator doesnt really risk anything & makes more then enough to support themselves & family while as you point out our troops risk their lives for much less. If you want to get mad about wars & soldiers pay I'm there for it but direct it at congress because they control the purse strings & have to approve wars & everything else regardless of who the president is or the reason for the war. Clinton & democrats are fair weather fans who live each day checking polls as to how they'll stand today. Cutting the funding for the wars is retarded & hurts the troops even more again politics aside other then the raise to minium wages what has this congress done any different let alone better then the last... More things are stalled then ever before. The problem with Iraq is the culture & the fact that the people in charge dropped the ball because they weren't ready for when Iraq gave up so quick & thus they didnt transistioned from a war machine to a police force which the military really isnt set to do anyways let alone over night. Also take into account that in World War 2 we carpet bombed europe daily & no one cared especially after we won & found out about the Holocaust. But now adays we have to worry about politics & world opinion so our hands are tied because we dont want coalital damage & civilian deaths which again I agree & want also but seriously at what cost. Its a war right or wrong for it or against it & its not like they fight fair dressing up as civilians take on civilian jobs killing civilians & torturing yet expecting us to call ahead & tell them we're coming so they can flee or set up traps & ambushes. That doesn't make any sense what's so ever & that's where things went bad. Does anyone think that I or anyone in the military wants bad press or civilian deaths its hard on moral & soldiers when it happens but it does happen especially when bad guys are hiding amongest them. The majority of deaths especially civilians are from IEDs not americans & not bullets because the bad guys are bad they dont care. I just dont get why people are so blinded to this. Hello They dress up in civilian clothes hide as police & move around in ambulances how is that fair & again people expect us to call ahead of please. At home no one complaints about a police raid on a drug house down the street unless someones beaten especially if the cops are white but when it comes to a war people complaint & set rules. I'd rather fight them in Iraq or Afganistan then on Main St USA or watch another 9/11 happen. Politics aside again Police do raids all the time & you dont hear about them unless theres special circumstances & even then they last about a week or so & move on but low & behold theirs a raid in Badgad & hell is coming to earth. 90% of Iraq is fine you just hear about Badgadg & maybe more or two other near by cities same goes for Afganistan yet the war is lost & our troops aren't doing their jobs yada yada yada which is all garbage. Untie our hands & let the military be a military let the police be police & yet Iraq be Iraq. You want to talk about fair try being a soldier making 1400 a month with hazard pay & supporting your family while at war all while the people who sent you there to risk your life live themselves raises for more then you make a month yet while they sit every night with their families watching their kids grow up & not having to worry about will the baby have food is my girl cheating or best of all will the rent get paid... Right or wrong this is so beyond BUSH let it go. Again I have yet to see this "congress" do anything let alone finish more then the last & many of the same congress & those in power supported bush when thing were going well. War doesnt happen over night & theirs not one things that makes or breaks it. Again Clinton didnt protect us & encouraged Osama to plan & later attack us. Clinton had 14 attackes killing 4000 people in his 8 years & he fired 2 cruise missiles & missed Osama so again dont blaim this all on BUSH REpublicans or the military. Its a factor of many things & no one is above fault.
