The War in Iraq
A good friend of mine was home on vacation from Iraq for a week and I had the opportunity to talk with him about the American presence there. What an absolute waste of time and money!!
He is there as a civilian training the new Iraqi Police. Well, that's the mission... what actually happens is they take guys in, arm them with weapons and armor, teach them to shoot, and send them out to be the new-and-improved, more democratic police. A few days later the US Army goes out, kills a bunch of insurgents, brings them back to camp only to find they are the same people they just "trained" and armed. It's a revolving door and a concept that only we as Americans seem to understand.
These people do not want and will never have a democratic government or free way of life no matter how much we want them to or how often we bomb the shit out of them. They don't care that we are rebuilding everything be blew up, it isn't going to sway their beliefs. Look, these people blow themselves up... WILL BLOW THEIR SELF UP because they believe what they believe. How many Americans are willing to walk into a mall wearing a bomb and blow their self into fish bait over a political point of view? I don't know of any.
This is a country full of suicide bombers that will never, ever stop believing that they are absolutely right and we are absolutely wrong. So come on Pres, get our guys out of there. Screw the Iraqis let them build their own roads and bridges, give them something productive to do.

I totally agree.... but its about the money. WHat the hell does Bush care if someone's loved ones die over something so pointless and really has absolutely no value to our way of life or our beleifs. We are there because if we tell the civilian ife that we are helping someone and we are making money and making th US better then that gives him reason to send our troops there but in reality its a bunch of bullshit.
Nikki I think you are a little off base. No, he doesn't care who dies, he would not have ordered the mission in the first place. The problem is that we went there, bombed the shit out of their country, to prove they had weapons that they did not have. Saddam needs to be dead or dieing while in jail, but that is done.
