Can someone explain how fighting in Iraq is protecting my so called freedom in the United States?

Question

Iraq did not do 9-11 and had no weapons of Mass Destruction. The war is based on lies so how is fighting and dying in that country giving me freedom or lack of freedom?

So tell me again how fighting in Iraq is protecting my freedom.

Answer 1

dude, i have no idea. you're right though, this whole war has been one disaster after another. what a mess!

Answer 2

With each and every Islamic nutjob lifeless the sector is a bigger situation. Would you alternatively insurgents from in every single place the core east utilising Iraq as a base, say, for assaults in opposition to Israel? Also, the Kurds don't need to are living in worry of getting their households gassed by means of an insane dictator.

Answer 3

It doesn't make much sense for me to answer you because you won't believe the answer. You won't believe that our old pal Colonel Muammar al Gaddafi of Libya got stuck with a shipment of arms meant for Iraq from North Korea. Good old Muammar sat on it for a couple of years until the memories of being bombed by a USAF FB111D Raven got the better of him. He called in the U.S. and United Nations to take it off his hands. The shipment contained Blister and Nerve Agents; Chemical weapons are defined as 'weapons of mass destructions', but the Iraqis didn't have them, right?

Where did Syria get the chemical weapons they used agaist their Kurdish population? Can you say Iraq? Of course you can, but you won't because you don't want to believe. You don't to believe that the long range missiles the Iraqi fired at the allied forces are defined by the United Nations Resolution as a 'weapon of mass destruction' because they are delivery systems.

You won't believe it, so what is the use? You right, I'm a liar and so is everybody else. Only you know the truth of the situation; there is a secret dark goverment bend on ruling the world. At this very moment there's a right wing death squad heading for your home........ Yeah, I know you believe that, don't you?

Answer 4

It's not, of course!

When most of the supposed justifications for invading Iraq in the first place were disproved, what do we hear instead? Lots of crap. They're out of excuses, so instead we get all sorts of unrelated banter. Sadly, it seems people actually believe in this crap - staying in Iraq somehow prevents Al Qaeda from setting foot on US soil. Ludicrous.

The word "Freedom" is being used in such weird ways they may as well officially give it another definition in the dictionary, because evidently sending soldiers overseas to become potential casualties in an unjustified war somehow gives everyone more freedom.

Answer 5

What did Iraq do with its biological and chemical weapons? They had 'em, they used a bunch of 'em, where did they go?

Simply put, you have had a kind of Liberal plug stuffed into the learning center of the brain. You need to remove it and look at the larger picture of what happened with the history of Saddam and the UN resolutions and weapons inspectors. We had every right and the responsibility to take him out as others did not have the balls to do it.

Saddam may not have ordered 9-11 but he was training, and supporting terrorist groups with money, arms and intell.

Answer 6

I don't care quite frankly. Sure it's a true shame about the loss of lives but listen even if it is all just fake and was an inside job look at the benefits:-

Mlitary experiance (new procedures/tactics)
Oil
Iraqi lives have improved (be it for the loss of many)
Additional war fighting capability
Weapons Research + Testing

plus your here today to ask the question. It's not so bad is it now?

I don't care if you don't agree with what's happened at least support the men & women of the allies whom are out there!

Answer 7

The US provided Saddam with all kinds of weapons to help fight Iran in the 80's, and Saddam didnt use them all... So what happened to the ones he didnt use????

You dont know he didnt have any WMD's.. He could have gave them to Syria until a later time.. Of course Saddam is dead now, and Syria wont have anyone to give them back to...

So dont say "had no weapons of Mass Destruction" unless you were a member of Saddams regime and you know it for a fact...

Answer 8

I take it you have never served your country.

As a veteran, I am offended by all of you spineless cowards who do nothing but gripe about our country and our military. It is time you realized that your freedom comes with a very high price tag, it is in no way free.

We are fighting a war with radical Islam. A war that started decades ago. Maybe you've heard of the Iran hostage crisis that occurred in the 1970's?

These people teach their children that the only way to ascend to live with Allah is by killing "infidel" (Americans and other Christians). They preach hate and they spend all of their days figuring out new ways to spread their hate.

This is a war that we must win to protect our very way of life, our freedom to travel as we wish within our borders, and throughout the world.

If you live in such a blind existence to think this is about oil, then it is time wake up. You are being poisoned by the media. Politics need to take a backseat to reality. The reality is we must support our troops.

Semper Fi

Answer 9

They're keeping the fight over there, and not here.

I keep hearing the accusation that they lied about WMD. If they were smart enough to create this elaborate lie about WMD, don't you think they would have also planted some WMD components to substantiate the lie. It was not a lie, but simply poor intelligence coming from the region.

Answer 10

Cheney says there is a link between 9-11 and Iraq.

So far as I can tell that is what the war is based on now.

Kind of funny when you realize that while Bush/Cheney is using the war as a scapegoat to spy on American citizens while still refusing to tell anyone how he knows there is a link between Iraq and 9-11 or what that link is.

Iraq is not protecting your freedoms though-it is distracting you so that they can take more of them away.

Maybe the link is that they switched from USD to Euros for oil sales which was bad for us when we needed the money to rebuild after 9-11?

Answer 11

See just by asking that question you have put it in the minds of people around the world, that the things they hold so precious are being defended in what is a cruel world by kids willing to sacrifice their lives so you can drive that hummer or that Prius.. live in a safe neighborhood. If this war was not fought over there it would have been fought over here...... Gee remember 9/11 that was the war over here. do you want that in every American City..... Ya didn't think so.
