How so? Hussein wasn't a threat to the US. As a matter of fact, he was the one keeping Iran in check. Now there is less of or possibly no counterbalance to Iran's power in that region.

I've already addressed how I felt about letting Hussein kill innocent Iraqis. Like I said, I'm ok with going over there to overthrow Hussein so that the people of Iraq don't have to live in fear every single day.

Don't get me wrong, I think we've been there way too long, but only because we played nice, and didn't use our power efficiently to finish the war sooner. If you ask me, the United States is too nice when it comes to confrontation with other countries. We should have gone in, killed who we needed to kill and got out, but because our government is so worried about offending the rest of the world, we played softly with these douchebags and we are still there.

Are you saying kill Saddam and the rest of his lackeys and hope for the best? How would that work? I am sure someone corrupt will come in and replace, you can't just hope for democracy. The reason they are there is because the enemy is random, it could be any Iraqi who doesn't like the Coalition in their country.

Welcome to real life and riding the bus.

You could have been a bus driver, but it's lonely up there with those switches and knobs. You don't appear to like driving alone or flipping switches without permission.

For all the skeptic's who say there were no Terrorists in Iraq......I suggest you google Abu Nidal. He died in Bagdad and he was in Iraq with the blessing of Hussein. Thats point one. Point two I guess nobody remembers that Hussein was offering $25,000 to each Palestinian Jihadist family who blew himself up in Isreal. Point Three Hussein himself WAS a WMD ....just ask Any Iraqi citizen. And finally point Four I guess nobody remembers that when Al Queda left Afghanistan they went to Iraq with Hussein's blessing.
I agree with Clintok when he says "take the fight to them". Seems to me that if we didn't we would have the same things happening in main st America as what is happening in downtown TelAviv. Course then again we do have enough Jihadists here but the FBI and CIA aren't gonna give out how many Plots they have Stopped here already.

He is not much of a reason to invade a soveriegn country and expend blood and treasure. He died in Bagdad and he was in Iraq with the blessing of Hussein. Thats point one. Point two I guess nobody remembers that Hussein was offering $25,000 to each Palestinian Jihadist family who blew himself up in Isreal.That is Israel, this is the US.

Your own president admits that there wasn't AlQaeda presence in Iraq, until we invaded. Get your facts straight.

Where do you come up with this bullshit?

I know that before US forces went to Iraq, there were executions right on the street. Ok now lets talk about the UN. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Bin Laden ask to help but the Saudis refused. They brought the big gun, the US military. The US defended Saudi's oil. When the commanders finally got the orders to go into Kuwait, we take Sudams forces all the way back to Iraq. One we wanted to go all the way to Baghdad but noooooo, the politics said we did not have the UN order. SO we waited and waited and waited. FINALLY the commanders got the order. So we did just like what the Nazi did to Poland. They drove like hell to Baghdad. Once they done that, Fallujah ( I know there was a lot but Fallujah was the famous for me) intel said that a lot of bad people were in Fallujah, so we sent our Marines in there. Houses by Houses. Room by Room. Hallway by hallway, the US military took and killed the bad people.

Your question is why are we still in Iraq? Well there are a lot of reasons. There police force sucks and there government. We are there for security reasons. and we are still there because the insurgents are still killing our troops. From snipers to IEDs. like this failled one.

I know that a lot of people will say I am wrong and blah blah blah. But if you say I am wrong, then well the news are wrong and the people I talked to are wrong.

Here's the truth. We went into Iraq to spread democracy and free the Iraqi people. That's what George Bush says because that is the song in his head.

Condaleeza confirmed it a few months ago. Now Cheney has confirmed it, too.

Cheney said on CNN's "State of the Union with John King": "We have succeeded in creating, in the heart of the Middle East, a democratically governed Iraq. And that's a big deal. And that is, in fact, what we set out to do."
