Part of that is the fact that pictures and stories of our soldiers helping the hurt and scared people are being seen where these people are recruited. All of a sudden they see we are not the monsters that the super libs and terrorists like to paint our military. Our military is made up of the best in the country and we need to recognize what they are doing and that they are showing the world that we care about people.

Is it OK to ask in this thread that if we invaded a country that had no WMD ( and they didn't), no organized Al-Queda (and they didn't ),hadn't threatned us,were complying with the Inspections, and had been bombed daily for ten years prior to the invasion, why did we invade? The cost has been staggering in lives, dollars, and the future of Iraq's people. Just what was it that Iraq did to us to warrant the devastation of their country, the killing of the innocents, about one million with over 60% being women and children? Why wouldn't they think of us as monsters? I voted Republican all my life until 2004.
Maybe you should direct the question the the Dems that voted in favor of the move and to continue funding it. They are the majority now.
A rewriter of history. All of the western countries intelligence agencies were saying that he had WMD. They were not cooperating. The UN issued order after order for him to comply. He always talked and allowed the inspectors into a few places and required advance information as to where they wanted to go. Towards the end they were allowed to pick a place that morning but Iraq soldiers were to drive and they could take 4 hours to go across town. Why did he do this. He told his captors that he was afraid of Iran. Remember that war he had with them. He didn't want a recurrence.
People like you get angry that Haliburton was given the contract to go in and help build up the infrastructure. Then you complain that damage was done and not completely fixed yet. No other company has the resources to do it but you complain.
The stupidity of that million people dead is astounding. We have embedded reporters that would be delighted to show something like that. Average 16,666 people per month. LOL
Do you think before you post??
This is progress?
People are no longer terrorized by al-qaeda-iraq, an organization that did not exist prior to the Bush invasion?
al Qaeda existed long before we set foot in Iraq.
Quit twisting the words please.
al-qaeda-iraq DID NOT EXIST
No they had a much more organized terrorist...that used chemical weapons on his own people...murdered thousands that had the nerve to dissagree with him...withheld basic services to people belonging to the wrong political group. OHhhh yeh they had it much better before
"No they had a much more organized terrorist...that used chemical weapons on his own people"
What Saddam was doing in his own country was none of our business. It was up to the Iraqis to get rid of Saddam. It's their country, not ours. There are other brutal Dictators in this world, Saddam isn't the only one.
Our interference in the various Middle East not only hurts them, it has always backfired on us. We do it because they have oil, & we depend on their oil. War is a very serious matter. Al Qaeda didn't have a presence in Iraq prior to our invasion. The last thing our government should have wanted is Al Qaeda to have a presence in Iraq. It destabilizes the entire ME regions, killed thousands of innocent people on all sides (ours and theirs). Our interference in the various Middle East costs us our troops lifes, costs us billions of dollars, hurts our economy. We need to develop an alternative for oil. We need to withdraw our troops from all ME regions.
"What Saddam was doing in his own country was none of our business."
The treaty Saddam signed ending the first Gulf War said otherwise. So did the U.N.
"Quit twisting the words please.
al-qaeda-iraq DID NOT EXIST"
al Qaeda isn't like a boy scouts troop with specific geographic locations. Don't be foolish enough to think al Qaeda had no one in Iraq. Besides, what's it matter if we are killing al Qaeda in Iraq or if we are doing it in Afghanistan? So long as we are killing al Qaeda.

What an appropriate name. You are calling the 9/11 commission a liar. They said there were al Quaeda training camps there. A recent story on here talked about a person that was in Afghanistan when we invaded and he left to go to Iran. He was captured and released by using lawyers and he went back there and blew himself up in Mosul.
"You are calling the 9/11 commission a liar. They said there were al Quaeda training camps there."
you said the same thing at the start of the thread and i refuted it with the original words from the report itself. something you don't seem to be able to do. if you have something from the 9/11 commission's report that contradicts itself and you can use to back up this bullsh!t put it on the table now or stfu.
And I refuted your refutation.
