just waking up? Got to the age of vision?
Iraq started in 1987-1991 or so... by 2003 there was internal push into Iraq rather than just an Air and Economic seige. Iraqi's during this time for the most part were not keen. In the US, there were many people who spoke out against the war in Iraq in 2003. Antiwar movement continued. Someone name Sheehan or something like that may make it into the History books 'as the leader of the antiwar movement'.
There have been people against it. The democrats won congress during the last election... some say because of 'antiwar sentiment'. The brits are reducing troop numbers now.. and in Afghanastan the 2009 or so operations deadline is drawinng near a close.
There has been antiwar sentiment, but in large part 5 years after this war people don't really pay much attention to it.
People don't see the effects of the war, unless they are effected personally.
While an entire division worth of casualties is out there.. and the long term effects to people may be seen, the debt large... and the Bush Administration winding down on it's last year in office unless Breast Cancer becomes the next big presidential issue... all in all this is funny. ?Jeb?
The antiwar movement has been oingoing since it started.. but I actually think outward signs have reduced.. and now it is just congress trying to find ways to get some frictiion the the bull.
The Iraqi's are starting to be able to take over southern Provinces.. so it allows redistrobution.. with turkey in the north.. TURKEY IS THERE NOW.
They are maintaining against instability.. but I think most people really don't care about the longterm stability of the region (IRAN/TURKEY/IRAQ) after the Kurds drop off if they do.. it leaves the shiites..

I didn't oppose the war in Iraq... I even supported it when President CLINTON was planning it.
What I do NOT like is the way the Administration has handled the post-invasion period, the portrayal by the liberally-biased media, and the way the Congress (both parties) have done piss-poor oversight.
I think that in 30-50 years it will be looked back on with pride.

I'm not just opposing it now, I've been opposing it for sometime. Our current administration lied to and misled the country into this war. It all was supposedly about 9/11 and Bin Laden in the beginning. I don't understand what our presence in Iraq has to do with finding Bin Laden.

i'm hoping the one hundred and 10th Congress does not deliver him a further investment bill, in spite of the undeniable fact that i'm no longer very effective. each and every Congress in all possibility contraptions new lows for stupidity. while the summer ends and the troop surge effect in a honest larger disaster, the Bush administration is in simple terms gonna have greater excuses. they're governing this united states same to the Democrats did interior the 90s. Clinton additionally cherished happening wars of united states development. Clinton would have cherished to double the dimensions of the dept of preparation. Clinton would have cherished to pass Medicare area D and hasten the financial disaster of the country. I choose the 2008 election effect in defeat each and every for the Clinton/Obama Democrats and the Neo-Con Republicans. this is fantastic if the election would be Mike Gravel VS Ron Paul. they're the single first rate applicants walking for the nominations of the two huge events.

simply because the objective for imposing it was not really justified. Remember what Pres. Bush had claimed about Saddam Hussein stockpiling chemical weapons. When the UN got there, they found none. So clearly, the US government only wanted to make war in Iraq just to generate some revenue for their war industries. That's why everybody is opposing it right now.

Ask yourself this, why did we first invade Iraq? This "operation Iraqi freedom" is a bullshit attempt to cover up the fact that there where no Weapons of Mass Destruction, and that we made a huge and costly mistake.

The war has turned into a political football by the democrats. By itself, this is the most dishonest, unethical, and un-American reason to use, to appeal to the American voter.
The democratic party seems to be littered with vermin who will say anything, do anything, and promise anything to get elected. Clinton seems to lead the pact in that regard.
I will feel the urge to spit in the face of anyone who pulls the lever for truly dishonest politicians such as those described above. Common sense will restrain me however, but it can't prevent me from wishing them, eternity in hell !

Not everyone is opposing the war. The loud mouths in Congress and the loud mouth liberal loonies in the main stream media are still calling for surrender. Obviously, it is not working.
