I'm assuming he's talking about the cost of this "war" to the taxpayers.

Shit! How bout even just getting jobless people jobs!

Well, his daddy couldn't do that either, so maybe there is hope

[rant]I always thought it was a mistake to bring up WMD, terrorist affiliation or any other "reason" to go to war with Iraq. Sadam constantly flaunted the U.N. resolutions that were in place at the end of the first Gulf War. All the U.N. ever did was put out more resolutions. The real mistake was waiting 11 years to do it. I'm suffering daily to make this happen and am still in harms way. I never fired a shot and spent the whole war in Kuwait, but I could just have easily been in Iraq like I was 11 years ago. We lost an ambulance driver and one of our OR techs had his wife wounded. I worked with her everyday in CA. It may be me next and even if I get killed all of this has been worth ending that regime. What did Syria do when they saw there was no bluff in our eyes? They invited,no begged, the U.N. to send inspectors. That's how it should be. We are the good guys here. We're not invading countries and annexing them. We should have invaded Liberia when the coup happened years ago. Liberia had a democracy based on our own. It was usurped by the guys with the guns. Still think our democracy is safe? It's not. It has enemies within and without. There are people who just don't like the fact that you are free. They want you to think and act like they do and if they can't force you to do it they're just as happy if you die. I'd prefer to die fighting the bastards. The number of people we are losing over here isn't much higher than what we lose in training accidents back in the States. That's another thing that pisses me off. Military members die everyday in training and everyone acts like it's no big deal. At least these guys are dying in an actual fight, not just getting ready for one.[/rant]

Well said man!

Well done, that should shut up a few people. (but it wont). Another thing that kills me is that the liberal media had taken to calling the snipers the "resistance", like its Viva La Iraq or something like that. It's little shit like this that steers the cattle in this country and the world against us. We should also point out that the people in Liberia started dancing in the street when the rumor that the Americans were coming came out.

Do I agree that the administration has some questions to answer about why they havent found weapons of mass destruction yet? Yes, but I do not think it is some grand conspiracy, nor do i think Bush is a "warmonger". Its funny how the media sort of under-reports the stuff they are finding, like centifuges buried in scientists backyards. Hidden under orders of Qusay himself.

Bush is merely trying to clean up the mess that Clinton economic policy and 9/11 left him with. But then again, I have a job, I wasn't invested in tech stocks. the Democrats are never going to win an election as long as they are preaching thier "Robin Hood" economics.

Well, they are a "resistance," aren't they?

And the fact that the administration fights tooth and nail when it's obvious some things *should* have a little looking into.

Has anyone made an allegation of a conspiracy? Last one I heard of was the one Hillary mentioned.

Clinton didn't have anything to do with the tech stock crash. That was simply a bunch of fools thinking they could make money fast - which makes no sense - why invest in a company that isn't making any profits (pets.com anyone?)

They are a 'resistance' sure. Most of them aren't Iraqis though. They are foreign terrorists that want to become martyrs. I just wish we would hurry up and find Saddam. Once that happens lots of things will be different in the country. The people are afraid he is going to come back, and half the liberals I have talked to about this would be glad to let him. They want us to get out of there before it becomes another Viet Nam. :rolleyes: If we do that no one will ever trust us again.

Agreed. They need to capture him (hopefully soon). I personally don't see how this will be another Vietnam. Certainly the government has learned their lesson on that. Let the troops do what needs to be done instead of trying to micromanage from the pentagon. (If, on the off chance this starts to become another Vietnam, then yes, get the troops out. No excuse for men dying simply on the whim of some general sitting thousands of miles away.)

I have a question for you since you have been over there, How long do you predict the Coalition and other forces need to present for the country to be politically and economically stable?.

Do you forsee the US being able to combat adn put down the pockets of resistance for good?
