How is the United States Military in Iraq in 2007 defending America?

Question

or is that just more religious right delusional crap

Answer 1

I honestly don't think it has anything to do with religion.

Immediately after 9/11, the American public was essentially saying "Kick someone's *** for this, we don't really care who."

Iraq was as easy target as the next, and some members of the current cabinet had always resented not changing the regime in 1991.

The rest is a lesson in why the British should have been a little less careless in drawing up the borders in the Middle East when they bailed.

Answer 2

For claiming to be a veteran in the process the time, you should recognize that the story has countless faults and is as a result to not be depended on. The Vietnamese militia did not defeat the yankee militia in 1975, as a results of fact the yankee militia had withdrawn countless years in the past. In 1975, the North Vietnamese military defeated the South Vietnamese military, which became with out American help.

Answer 3

I don't know, it seems like one big cluster ****

I think a better plan would have been more along the lines of what israel did after the 1972 munich games. They found and killed the guys RESPONSIBLE, they didn't throw away their own men in some ludicrous idea that we could bring peace to nations while dismantling the funding for terrorism by invading a country that was not the source for the terrorist attacks.

Answer 4

i don't think they are there to "defend" america, because if they were then they wouldn't constantly be talking about oil. iraq was only invaded to get more secure oil for america. you people can lie to yourselves all you want you are not being protected by the military being over there. i think the us doesn't like islam and is trying to take out all of the muslim countries w/ "supposed" terrorists. but they of course have no proof just theories. the iraqi people didn't deserve this neither did all of the troops that have been killed over there for nothing. because remember four years ago bush said that iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that is why they had to be invaded. i would like to see these imaginary weapons that are now supposed to be in syria. it is amazing how evidence changes to fit america's needs. not there are terrorists in iraq trying to hurt americans. maybe if americans weren't invading their country they wouldn't be hurt. if people invaded america like america invaded iraq, you better believe americans would fight the same as if not harder then the iraqis to fight this supposed "freedom" attempt. go open your eyes and see for yourself

Answer 5

They are not. They are a victim of a failed policy. There is no easy way out at this point.

Answer 6

There are 2 choices for a battle ground:

1.) the Middle East

or

2.) On US soil

I'd much rather do our fighting in the Middle East.

Answer 7

We will either fight them in our streets, or we can fight them in their streets, & if we fight them in our streets, No American will allow those islamic people hide behind their childen or woman, as they do in their own country. To me that is a cowardly way of fighting a war, by hiding behind their woman & children. Have you wonder why they hide behind their woman & children, Have you asked yourself why don't they think their so call allah will potect them. American soilders don't need to hide behind woman & Children as Islamic people does.

Answer 8

Just another way to spend our tax dollars.

Answer 9

better to fight them in Iraq than fight them in the United States, eh?

Answer 10

I would rather fight a war elsewhere than on our own soil.
