will someone please tell me in very exact terms what exactly has been accomplished in Iraq?

Question

i would ask john that you refrain from personal attacks, its just bad etiquette. and in response to you. do you mean the democracy that has done nothing for their people and is headed by an old buddy of bush? one that is so torn between the three parties that they cannot get anything accomplished?

Answer 1

A lot of people have died for no real reason

Answer 2

John, Iraq's government is in shambles! In addition they aren't a democracy!! Why is it no one knows what a true Democracy is? We don't have one! No one on the face of the Earth has one, or if they do, please let me know!

Exact terms...we got a lot of people killed for nothing, but corporate welfare is alive and well!

Answer 3

We defeated the old rulers but decided to stay and play around with nation building for an extra couple years. I'm voting for Ron Paul, he's for bringing the troops home and changing our horrible foreign policy!

Well, you asked!

Answer 5

Well, aside from nothing, we've been spinning our wheels for the last 4.5 years--chasing our tails in the process; trying to remake everything like it was new by doing the same thing over and over, over and over again.

Hoping for a different outcome.

Answer 6

Veitnam part 2

Answer 7

Saddam Hussein and his sons are dead. Democracy in an Arab country. Thousands of Al Qaeda and like people-dead. Other than that, not much.

Answer 8

We got Saddam and his psychotic sons killed. That solved one problem. We're helping them to build a democratic society. My husband was there for 8 months. I'm proud of him for going and I think we truly are doing good there. The media just goes whacko and reports only about the innocent Iraqi's getting killed. Please, they were probably shooting at US forces.

Answer 9

1.The “candle moth” strategy has worked. Drawing Islamic radicals and enemies of America into a battle on their own soil distracting their resources from attacking the free word. Radicals are being eliminated and the infrastructure of Islamic terror are being dismantled.
2.The United Sates has secured a base of operation in the middle east adequate to engage any enemy in the region and to control, the regions resources and political destiny.
3.The oil resources of Iraq are no longer available to the dictator that would destroy his neighbors and create anarchy in the region. The battle lines are clear now.
4.The message of American resolve has been sent despite panty waited liberal surrender advocates and foreign intervention designed to derail American policy objectives in the world to their own benefit.
5.The stage has been set for the ultimate destruction of Arab dictatorships and with that the redistribution of Arab wealth and power culminating in the irrelevance of the root cause of Islamic terror…..poverty and ignorance.

Answer 10

Sure. Saddam, the evil dictator who was responsible for the torture and murder of hundreds of thousands - and for all mass graves, and the poisoning deaths of 5,000 Kurds has been removed from power and held responsible for his crimes. Also, his sons and his army are gone. And they know have a democracy.

Answer 11

More dead Americans than on September 11th.

But that isn't an accomplishment.
