Why Can't GOPs Admit Iraq Invasion Was Colossal Stupid Bloody Expensive Mistake?

Question

How can anybody in their right mind still support this war?
On what grounds?
No WMDs.
No "nukcular" program.
No involvement with 9/11.
No involvement in any other terrorism.
Half a trillion $$ wasted.
650,000 dead.
Millions maimed displaced orphaned etc.

And for what?

All for nothing.
Even if you win (which you cannot) you win nothing.

Answer 1

The GOP is NEVER wrong because GOD is NEVER wrong.

Answer 2

The invasion of Iraq was not well thought out. That being said, this war and Iraq has become a magnet for all the jihadists in the middle east to destabilize the country, kill Americans, and cause instability in other countries.

The biggest culprit in this mess is Iran. The whole middle east is deeply concerned about Iran and its intentions, should the US pull out. Because of the evil shown by Iran and it's power grabbing agenda, strange, new relationships are evolving.

The moderate Gulf states are so concerned over Iran and Syria, that an alliance with Israel has evolved. The US is no longer a reliable ally, and country's such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordon, Lebanon, perhaps even Egypt, are prepared to work out a pact with Israel, rather than trust the Persians.

I'm not sure what that meaningless check list is about, following your question, but I feel confidant that my explanation has creditability and good cause to stand by the moderates in the middle east, along with the people of Iraq.

Answer 3

How about blaming our fellow Democrats John Kerry, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, and Hilliary Clinton who all voted for the war?

How about blaming the UN for not allowing us to finish the job in 1991?

How about blaming Jimmy Carter for destabilizing the region in 1979?

How about blaming every president since Jimmy Carter for encouraging us to remain dependent on foreign oil?

This didn't start with Bush or the GOP, our party was just as guilty.

Answer 4

It wasn't for them

Oil was at $22 a barrel before the invasion and Chevron was making $2 Billion a quarter. Exxon and chevron have made hundreds of Billions

Halliburton/Cheyney has made hundreds of billions from the Taxpayers. Cheyneys Huston Homie Hamid Karzai is now the worlds largest Heroin Dealer.

Mission Accomplished....!!!

Answer 5

"650,000 dead"

When are you lefties going to admit that is a collossal stupid bloody figure pulled out of your collective arses?

Neville Chamberlain thought fighting was a waste and unneccesary, too, and look what we had to face as a result of him and the "peace at any price" crowd. You guys are his modern-day heirs. Thank God the adults are in charge, at least for the time being. But not to worry, you and your gang of appeasers will probably soon get the chance to offer more compromises and forfeit more freedoms all for "peace in our time". Bloody fools never learn.

Answer 6

ok commiecrat. Here is the answer. WMD's WERE FOUND IN IRAQ. But not the motherload that Saddam supposedly hid. (which is now in Syria's hands) as for Nukes Iran IS GETTING READY Iraq would of soon followed. As for 9/11 While Iraq may have not been directly involded, Al-Queda was and EVERYONE knows they have established bases in Iraq. 4th one bullshit Saddam himself murdered Kurds left and right on a whim.

I wont even comment on the rest but go ahead and put your QUEEN to sit on the throne and let that joke of a hubby of her's be the worlds ambassador serving milk and cookies to Syria, N. Korea and everyone else hell bent on destroying us. How soon you forget that it was that never inhaled interm banging whitewater dodging bozo had Usama in his sights but let him go because the was housed in an area with CHILDREN!

Pull out all that does is send a signal to those countries that we are a bunch of ******* and go ahead and walk all over us. piss off comrade.

Answer 7

yup it was a major fubar. Looked good on paper tho.

The question to you though is should we just bail out and let the whole region fall apart and watch as tens of thousands get massacred. Dont say it wont happen, It did in india, nam, korea ( i think, cant remember about Korea atm).

Answer 8

Did the Democratic party apologize for Korea (36,000 deaths) and Vietnam (56,000 deaths). We're still waiting!

Answer 9

Many do. As a fiscal conservative I will say it to anyone. The Bush League attack on Iraq was a huge mistake and it has backfired in the legitimate fight against al-Qaeda.

Answer 10

G W BUSH got revenge for them planning to kill his father, and that is the only reason we went there. It is time to pull out and let the civil war take place. We laid the foot work for it; now let it happen with out American Troops in the middle of it.
