The US isn't fighting with iraq.
What gave you that idea?
We are in iraq, helping the Iraqi government, fight against terrorist and iraqi insurgents, trying to topple the new iraqi government.

America is fighting rogue "insurgents" and radicals within Iraq.... Not Iraq.
Read some history, you will find out why we are in Iraq. Don't let people like, "mr movie" snow you with simplistic agendas. Our congress voted to go to war, as did our president, based on intelligence reports of WMD ... not oil. If it was only about oil, do you think congress would have so overwhelmingly voted with the president?
I agree we don't need to be there anymore.

Ask Iraqi leaders why they flew 2 planes into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and one into the ground on 9/11. Many very innocent people died that day, a lot of them from other countries.
To many of the Iraqi all Americans are Infidels and should die. If the Iraqi gives his life while murdering an Infidel he will be blessed and be assured that he will go to their version of Heaven.
Most of the news media is very liberal and publish only information that shows the US and the military in a bad light. Try reading some of the stories from the GIs who are over there or who have come home. A lot of people there die from suicide bombers who kill women and children while they also kill American soldiers. They aren't particular who is around when the bomb goes off.
They have found many mass graves in Iraq where the people have done nothing but disagree with those in power. Be thankful that you live in a country that gives you the right and privilege of asking your question. I am.

American people are very stupid.. I feel bad for them.
First of all Iraq did have war with the U.S and yes it was for the oil. Many people died everyday because of American people. Innocent people were shoot and killed by American people.. And I'm not saying this because i heard about it. I'm saying it because i saw everything with my own eyes. Because American soldiers were so afraid they killed many innocent people. American have never been to war that why they're taking it easy, and 9/11 wasn't even half of what happened in Iraq. And Iraq wasn't the one who sent the plans. Its might be true that many people died that day, but it wasn't even half of what happened in Iraq. And Iraq still has a lot of problems, cars explosions, people killing each other, kidnaping and more and its 2014.. Stupid Americans. Sorry for my bad english, i been learning english for 3 years and i think im smarter than you.

The link below is to the text of the Congressional Authorization for the use of Offensive Military Operations Against Iraq. There's precious little mention of WMDs in the reasons given for authorizing those operations.

.... This war is NOT about oil......this war is NOT about revenge for 9/11...... This war is not about profits for Haliburton..... This war is NOT even about democracy or freedom for the Iraqi people.
"Why are we in Iraq?"
President Bush declared war on "terrorist and the nations who support them"..... GWOT
We went to war with Iraq because...
Iraq declared war on America !
Iraq tried repeatedly to kill American servicemen !
Iraq paid terrorists $25,000 to attack Americans !
Iraq tried to assassinate an American President !
Iraq sent funds to Al Quida !
Iraq trained terrorists including Al quida !
Iraq failed to comply with UN Peace Accords violating the Desert Storm Truce !
..... and..... believe it..... WMD's were used against us......WMDs were found........ and threr is credible evidence that huge quantities of WMDs were moved to three villages in Syria's Bakka Valley
(If you want more information / proof email me)
BTW there was yellow cake......three tons of it......
Now Col Kurtz / Mr movie.....OIL
Explain to me how we or Bush profitted from Iraq oil (BTW We do not buy Iraqi oil.....we actually get more oil from Canada than the ENTIRE Middle East)
The Iraqi oil is controlled by the UN....ALL profits go to the Iraqi people
If you think about it.....Bush LOST oil money in this war.....the Iraqi oil fields were in such bad repair.....so antiquated they would have ceased production long ago if we had not rebuilt the system.....If the Iraqi oil fields had shut down the price of oil would have gone even high than it is now......(supply and demand)
Black Guy.....your post is so inane and childish it does not deserve a response.....Bush is not my favorite President but the war is the one thing he has done well.
BTW......In the same time frame......Clinton killed 519 more servicemen than Bush......and none of his deployments were to defend America.......do not remember you calling Clinton a "Doo Doo Head"
Genius.......One out of four is pretty bad for a genius

We are not fighting with Iraq, we are fighting terrorism in Iraq. We should do whatever it takes to keep our nation safe, and that unfortunately includes war. War is inevitable when evil people like terrorists exist in this world.

Why are we fighting...you have to be kidding me. Let start off by removing Saddam from power...creating a free standing government, ensure a better life for the Iraqi population. Bin Laden that is a whole other war going on in a different country...we will win both these wars and I believe in and support our leadership and that is what makes me a proud American

yep! its all about OIL. It started out as Operation Iraqi Liberation, but someone pointed out to Darth Cheney what THAT acronym spelled so they quickly changed it to Op Iraqi Freedom.
If you don't think all those G.I.'s and Iraqi "collateral damage" were sacrificed for the black gold then you have your head so far up "W"'s ****** that you don't even realize you're voting against your own self interest!!!
NOTE: Sadam did not personally fly the planes into the WTC!!! Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.....

Treaty of versaille. Look into it. America and their allies drew a circle around this land and made it a country.
