Iraq and our government?

Question

Does anyone feel that the war in Iraq is any example of our government's failure?

I just wanted to add that I am not saying one way or the other that this is a government failure. Just looking for some opinions and how other people feel. Thank you everyone for your input-i look forward to hearing more viewpoints.

Answer 2

It is the greatest example of our government's failure, avarice, arrogance and hubris in generations.
This insipid, insane, obscene, unconstitutional, illegal, unjustified, immoral 'war' is - and always has been - all about OIL and WAR PROFITEERING.
The Bush administration lied to Congress, hoodwinked the American people, and conned our valiant U.S. troops into believing there was honorable purpose in attacking another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States.
So, 675,000 Iraqis and 3,800 U.S. soldiers have sacrificed their lives so that a handful of wealthy elitists, industrialists and power brokers can become wealthier and more powerful.
We will be 'in' Iraq for decades - if not generations. That's why we're building the largest U.S. embassy in the world on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad, overlooking the 'new' Iraqi puppet government installed by the Bush administration;
That's why the number-one non-military 'benchmark' calls for the Iraqi Parliament to pass a law surrendering two-thirds of all Iraqi oil fields to private foreign oil corporations, effectively stealing Iraq's most valuable economic resource.**
That's why Halliburton is building fourteen (yes - 14!) new permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq.
Does no one find it a strange coincidence that George H.W. Bush left office and joined the Carlyle Group, which is now one of our federal government's largest contractors in Iraq (and, which many Saudi families invested in, including an original $2.5 million from a family named binLaden)?
Does anyone find it a strange coincidence that Dick Cheney received a massive 'golden parachute' when he retired as Halliburton's CEO, and now Halliburton is one of our federal government's largest contractors in Iraq??
This is a blatant example of failure on the part of our government's integrity. -RKO- 09/24/07

Answer 3

There's always a consequence to every action. Those who ignore the consequence will blame it on one party or another. The the government is not a one-party government and playing the blaming game will not get us anywhere.

Failure or not, it's our mess and we need to clean it up. If the government can't do that than it will be the people's responsibility to do so. If the people are not willing to do anything else other than blaming the government then they are are as bad as the government.

Answer 4

it has nothing to do with our gov...this all bush's doing to gai as much money as possible, while he is on office. Check out all those contractors in Iraq, everyone is picked by nonbidding, all from the bush administration. He has investments in every contractor there....This was all a scam. From 9/11 there has been almost 5 trillion dollars missing...where has it gone. Wouldn't you think someone knows something...oh my bad...he has hired those guys ib charge of the world bank himself...days after the un refused to give him money...
This is all bushes fault.

Answer 5

It's been proven that it was the Bush Administration that were the ones that started that crap....not the "Gov't" as you put it...Bush and his Admin lead all to believe them...what goes around came back around...leading Bush to lose out on a lot of things...I think that since and he and his neocons started it...they should finish it by themselves and leave all the innocents out of it.
