Are cons going to support these troops too?

Question

Now that many soldiers are against the war and are protesting? Or, do they only support the troops when they are being shot at in a needless, unjust and bloody war based on lies and on stealing the oil from Iraq?

Answer 1

I'm absolutely shure these soldiers who are exercising their right of free speech will receive the same kind of support from the bush administration and the cons as our wounded veterans have.

In other words, none.

Is this a repost?

Here is a re-answer...
:)

I think this war is about many things, not only about the oil... Sorry, I just don't agree with your statement on that.

I'm not going to go into detail about my views (too complicated), but I'll give to two different views that I have heard.

I lived for a couple of years in the Middle East and just recently returned to the US. My friends there believe that the war is mostly about keeping the Middle East unstable... so that no great power can rise there that would rival that of the US. If all the Middle Eastern countries were to stablize and join together, as a whole, they would be more powerful than the US or any of the other western countries.

That allied together, the Middle East would have the money, the natural resources, the technology and the manpower to rise as a world power.

Now for the other view...

I also have friends who believe that losing the war in Iraq will come back to haunt the US later... That the war being fought there is a war against terrorism...

I do not agree with everything that is said on the website I posted below, but here is the link that supports that "war on terrorism" view...

There are a couple of short movies that last about 3 minutes... check them out.
