If the president him self had to be on the front line of the war next to my brother would he still be there?

Question

I don’t think the president cares about the people of this country; if he did he would not have sacrificed over 3000 men and woman in a war started with lies. None of the reasons we were given to start this war still exist yet we still get feed more false reasons every day and Americans are still dieing every day. It just amazes me that anyone can believe that we can change a mindset with force. And as my brothers and sisters risk there lives to end a war that did not exist before we started it I ask how will it end?

He joined to protect this country not to fight a war because bush can’t just admit he was wrong. Iraq may never be as stable as a country again as it was under Sodom. Yes he was ruthless well we are learning maybe that’s what is needed

Answer 1

i think about 100 billion ppl are going to bw happy once bush leaves office. and ur rite he doesnt give a care how many people die. I hope ur bro. makes it out ok. I hope the war ends soon. all we can do is pray 4 the soldiers.

Answer 2

Dumb. Presidents do not physically go to war. Our all volunteer military signed up for whatever duty they are directed to perform for the term of their enlistment, and the whiner civilians back home do not pick and choose what the military should or should not do.
You people refuse to acknowledge that there were WMD in Iraq before we went there, even Hillary and Kerry knew it. Now they just lie about it saying the intelligence was bad because the war became unpopular. The UN is the entity that basically allowed the vast majority of WMD to be removed from Iraq while they were farting around "looking" for them.
If this war had been allowed to be pursued as it should have been, it would be over.
Instead the soldiers and Marines are hogtied by the media and threat of prosecution if innocent people get hurt or killed. They are constantly bird dogged by our own people watching every move they make, and the cost of civilian lives so far, far outstrips what it would have been if the military were free to function as they were trained to do.
You cant have success fighting this way.

Answer 3

Yes, he would be there.....and the president didn't sacrifice over 3000 lives they died doing what they volunteered for. All the reasons for Iraq are the right reasons, so you must be young and not very informed. You can't have peace without war....understand that? There are alot of people that don't like America, so you need to think about that also. If our soliders were not doing their jobs in Iraq then you wouldn't be safe.

Answer 4

Al Franken wrote a very funny, yet in some ways very disturbing, book that has a chapter devoted to "what would have happened" if several of today's conservative hawks in congress had not successfully avoided service in Viet Nam. The chapter in "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" is hilarious.

The irony is that each one of these people, including Rush, went to extreme measures to avoid the draft, yet they make outlandish attacks about true war heroes. Will the hypocrisy never end?

Answer 5

No he wouldn't and as you can see very few of the individuals who support the War have any children or family members there. As you say this War is not their War so why should they have to fight it or even lose their lives for it - sorry I am not very patriotic right now, but come on is the realization of the lack of justification reason enough to continue sending "our" children to fight "their" war? God Bless.

Answer 6

Because our soldiers are doing Bush's dirty work in Iraq, none of us are safe. Bush has escalated the danger, increased the threat, and tarnished America's reputation as a world leader and global peacekeeper. We are now viewed as a warrior country, and every other nation is afraid of us.
To say you can't have peace without war is ludicrous. In actuality, it's just the opposite: you can't have war without peace...and the giant U.S. military-industrial complex doesn't want peace. It would interfere with their profits.
If George W. Bush ever had to be sent to the front lines, he'd have to be issued double pairs of underwear - I have no doubt he'd mess himself at the first sound of an enemy bullet whistling past his thick head. -RKO- 04/29/07

Answer 7

I don't support the presence of the US army in Iraq any longer. But your question is still not a fair one. A leader cannot make every decision based on what he would do himself. For instance, he may not need welfare. Should he cancel all the welfare programs?
