A Washington Post-ABC News poll in March showed nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the war was not worth waging.
Have you changed your mind about the war in Iraq?
Did you support the decision to remove Saddam Hussein in 2003? Do you still agree with President Bush that it was the right decision? Are you happy with the results five years later? Or do you now think it's a losing proposition now and American troops should be withdrawn? Were you opposed to the invasion of Iraq from the start?
no, like previous posters, i was against it from the start. it's the outcome of a "red-neck" view of the world. sadly, nearly 1/2 of Americans voted for ... you know who, i can't say or type the name; which is what makes me think that, in a way, we got the leader we deserved.
question: why, if we are incurring huge debt because of (among other reasons) the war, are we CUTTING taxes? this is irresonsible. how is this "conservative"? these hypocrites have hijacked a word that once meant something. it's about time that real conservatives (that would include having a conscience, not just flag-stickers on one's car) reject them and their facile super-power-ism!
Iraq I think we could put a quick end to this war if we would fight it like it were 20 years ago. let get rid of our high tec and get back to the real fire power. the m16a1 was feared by the vietcong and they had ak47`s( m16a1 is better than the rifle they have today) stap clamores to the front of the troop transports no one will get near your convoy
this way you will just have to worry about ie`s and rockets but if you control the roads and the air you will cut off their supply lines weakening them day by day
To Holly who thinks it's not about Oil. She said basically, if there's oil profits why aren't they paying for the war instead of U.S. taxpayers. In a word, GREED. Why should the corporate world worry about loosing any money as long as they own the government and just pay for stuff like war on the taxpayer's tab. Wake up people! The problem with most of us nice folks is that we cannot even visualize greed and corruption on the level that our government is being run by.
I supported the decision to remove Saddam Hussein in 2003. I believe President Bush made the right decision. I think we could have tactically done better in the beginning of the War, however they are now, on the right track in my estimation. I believe the Media has down played all the good that was and is still being done over there. Mark my words, President Bush will go down as one of our greatest Presidents, if not one of our greatest leaders ever to grace the glorious lands that is America. He has taken the bull by the horns, were past Presidents have hidden there faces. As well they should, hide thier faces,many Americans who have died in vain, do to the failure and lack of courage to act. The political game of Politics is a bain to our society.Politicians who are so anamored with themselves, fame and fortunes that is presented to them. All along forgeting the very reason why the constituancancy has elected them. Which is; to Serve the people, with leadership and with every fiber of there being. Fight to keep and preserve the American Constitution and keep safe all Americans.
I've been against it from the begining but am now comming around that we can't just pull out and leave the Christians and Secular women to be slaughtered by Islamic Extremist.
We wrongly opened a can of worms. I don't think the vote in Nov will change anything no matter who is elected. So I'm cutting McCain some slack. Although the "occupation" of Iraq is not a war. It was never declared and it is a lie to call a military police occupation a war.
