ORIGINAL: SirJeff1952 I echo the guy who asks you to study facts. This fight is NOT over oil! It is not even over Democracy. It is over Oppression by a brutal dictator. For those who think this is over oil, get your facts right before you post. When this country was at war in Vietnam, the politicians slammed the door in thier faces and stopped supporting the troops. I can see this same turn of events happening in Iraq. If we as Americans vote into office the people who will turn and run in Iraq, what message will that send to our Allies? They will always think of Americans as spineless, willing to start the fight, but NOT mopping up and staying for the hard work after. YES, I wish there was no more loss of life in Iraq, but it will take decades to make it right. I agree why we are there and why we went there, but we have to finish the job we started. Just my opinion. I think you need to check your facts....This is all about oil. Do you think Bush gives a flying fuck over the poor oppressed people of Iraq? There are a lot of tyrants and a shit load of evil being committed upon the people of this planet....We don't give a shit about the brown people of this world only what they are standing over....If it's oil we care. I love it when people talk about "supporting the troops." As if the troops were the ones who made the case for war. How would it have worked out in our favor if we would have "supported our troops" in Vietnam. Would we now have free trade? Would we get along any better?....Or would the Viet Nam Memorial have thousands of more names engraved on to it? Our Allies? Our allies don't give a fuck about our presence in Iraq. To date... U.S. Soldiers killed...3,974 U.S. Soldiers wounded...29,320 Coalition forces killed...307 Who is this "we" quote:
SirJeff1952 we have to finish the job we started. Who started this?....And why should "we" have to sacrifice "our" lives over a failed and flawed agenda.
