U.S. to pull out of Iraq after nearly 9 years of war

[dust1n]

No one is advocating the bombing of children.
It is well documented that women and children are used as human shields in that region.

But you advocated a harder 'punch' (I'm assuming this meant more or at least more decisive military action). The 'punch' we did take involved bombing regions (for example, Afghanistan has a population that is %60 under, like, 22) using radioactive materials knowing that we would be hitting children.

If you advocated military action (at least the kind we did), 'punching' if you will, than you advocated the bombing off a peoples knowing that children would get hit.

I've got to go make jack-o-lanterns with the kids.
I can accomplish more scraping the guts out of pumpkins than I will here.

Curious its only countries of strategic or economic interest to the US we attack and "save from oppression." I notice we never went into Darfur or Rwanda or Cambodia, where we could actually have helped people.




Freedom fighters my arse. The military is corporate muscle.

That's not saying much about what you can accomplish here.

The next campaign perhaps......
McCain raises prospect of military option in Syria

Ha ha. Good one there spunky.
I yield to your gargantuan intellect.

They should just give Israel the greenlight (and a few more bombers) and they can be in Damascus in 12 hours.

Amen!

And then comes the Iraqi civil war. Hopefully the Kurds will win.

Its been a civil war since the fall of Saddam!!!

 

[Valjean]

Funny oxymoron: "civil war."

 

[sadiq]

Attacking Iraq was a very wrong move.

Well ya know, if you'd actually just respond to things without being so sharp, off-topic and trollish, I wouldn't have to return it back at ya.

 

[YmirGF]

Well, I hope that Iran enjoys the Christmas present from BHO.

It's ok. It's politics, it's supposed to be sharp. And believe me , I can take anything that's thrown at me. And calling me a troll? Doesn't make me lose any sleep.
Luv ya bucky!!

I believe we should use our resourses in our best intrests first. No one gives us anything but a hard time no matter what we do anyway.
And , I have to say, I take your insults towards the individuals in the US military very personally whether anyone likes it or not. But you have the right to say what you feel , they have always made sure of that with their blood.
Enjoy.

Everyone gives us a hard time anyway? That kind of attitude's not going to win any friends. Did it ever occur to you we might be reaping what we've sown?

As far as insulting the military, think about it. Go over your history. You can count the time's the US military's actually defended the country on the fingers of one hand -- and still hold a beer in it.
The military does not promote the values outlined in our constitution. It's the muscle behind corporate nation building and exploitation. I could give you dozens of examples just since WW II. Even before then the military was a racket.
Check out this speech from eighty years ago. It wasn't written by any anti military radical, but a Marine Corps Major General with two Medals of Honor: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3_EXqJ8f-0

Dammit! Why do my links never work? I copied that address exactly.

 

[Anonymouse]

Hmmm, troops of 40,000 being pulled out. When they come back, they're going to need jobs.

We just don't see things the same way on this. Like I said, It's your right as an American to think and say what you want.
