I'm not saying we should have invaded Iraq, but they know full well that the fastest way to remove the American forces would be to stop killing eachother, but they have proven themselves to be incompetent in all facets of civilized life. I'm all for leaving and letting Iran tear them to pieces, as apparently they can only behave when threatened with brutal death.
The one guestion I have for you is why Bush and Cheney? There are 100 senators and 435(ish) representatives who approved the war, where's your hatred for them? What about Canada? Japan? The UK? They were right there with us, where's your contempt for them?
Amazing. So it IS the Iraqi's fault because they're so uncivilized, incompetent, and they've proven they don't want to stop killing each other? This is very "simple" sounding, and very baseless. You're lumping ALL the fighting parties into one big "Iraqi people" group and saying their irresponsible, they can't be civilized, and that they deserve to be destroyed by Iran? They were fine before we came and destroyed EVERY FACET of their lives. Still, after $16billion given to KBR, they don't have electricity for more than a few hours in the day on average...nevermind...doesn't matter because it's their fault. Also, I WANT Iran to help them stabilize because they will. Sure they'll probably move to a Sharia law system, maybe not. Maybe the Sunni's won't get taken out of the country. That's the point, we don't know..and guessing is not worth the lives.
Bush and Cheney? Who sent our fighting men and women there? They did, them and their rubber stamp republican, and duped dem congress. It's not a partisan reason why, it's an ideological reason why, and I don't hate the representatives who realized the mistake.
Canada, Japan, UK, Poland, Australia? They all jumped on the band wagon at the invite and duping of Bush and Cheney. I actually read the "dossier on saddam hussein" (a 200+ page PDF that was floating around several years ago) and saw the falsified intel (from Chalabi as induced by Bush/Cheney) in it that Tony Blair signed off on...point being, it wasn't the UK, Poland, Australian leader's idea to invade Iraq to free those people from Saddam Hussein or to prevent Condi's mushroom cloud from happening..it was us..our "appointed" leaders.
I'm currently mad now at this democratic majority congress for not doing what they were voted into power to do....hence their 11% approval rating.
But those responsible for the deaths in Iraq...BUSH/CHENEY alone.
