The Iraq War is an Overwhelming Success?

I am not reading that...................................

i didnt but i addes my 2 cents!!!!!!!!!

Iraq? A success? I think bush did something stupid when he went into thiis war. The war was pointless and because of it we have little ability to purchase gas on a reasonable scale. However that should be saved for another thread:D

say do you think US wanted to go to Iraq in the first place ????

I think Bush and Bin Ladin Have somethin going on where they are playing everybody for suckas and are gettin rich off it all.......

hahaha.....nice one :D
now that's a big game..:P

what i wanted to say is that "uncle sam" was never the first winner from the war on iraq...i'm not saying israel too, since it is insane to stay in the midle of hostile land if there is nothing behing more important than your own life.....

Oh damn. Iraq. (Iran also fits this criteria, but they have a much bigger military.)

So as long is there is conflict in Iraq, public opinion will be in favour of keeping troops there to "finish the job" or "stay the course" or whatever. As long as troops are there, we will have de facto control over what is estimated to be the world's second largest oil supply. Thus, conflict is good. Check on assumption two.

And now, the conclusion follows. There is really no democracy in Iraq, just a puppet government which relies on the US military to exert any kind of control over the country. There is no law and order, and "insurgents" run free instigating violence, which will in turn keep US troops in the region, allowing US control of Iraqi oil. And it is in this sense, that the Iraq War has been an overwhelming success and a great triumph for the Neocons.

Yes, if you are thinking it in that point of view war of Iraq was hufe success...
for idio...*cough* people like G.W.Bush and for his goverment. They used
the world larges military-engine to destroy goverment that deniend doing
what they said. So we get to point that USA acts like king of the world
and with acts like this it shows their "plans" to others, and they are close to this:

"Obey us, worship us. We are the rules and police of the world. If you disobey,
we'll send army to teach you how to pay respect."


Sorry, if someone felt insluted by my comment but thats how I think about
goverment and politics of USA.

^_^ i think the Patriots are behind it!

that's crazy talk for, "i think there is more to this war than can be seen or asumed by the knowledge we have. there's something grander behind all this, becuz there's something 'off' whenever people talk about the war. i think it's cuz we talk like there's not really a war at all. it's treated like a topic for debate."

^_^ and if you're not willing to read, than don't post!
