... And look at the value of human life,


Why not vote for someone who isn't going to cause the deaths of even more innocents. I'm not going to touch the subject of the Iraqi people, but just on our civilians over there, and the soldiers too.

I'm to the point where I'm just going to say : ***** the economy. Regardless of who would improve what, or would would make it worse.... Just fuc[b][/b]king forget about all of that for a minute: When did it become right to put a price on human life?

Haven't we always been taught that things such as murder are wrong?


There was no threat in Iraq. No WMD. Even if there was, it wouldn't ve been used on us anyway. They didn't have the capability to. They had no way to launch intercontinental missles. They had no way to drop chemical munitions on us by plane.

Bush has sent people to die for no real reason. I'm not going to debate if it was about oil, or anything like that.

What I do know is that whatever we do now, will be utterly pointless by 10 years from the time we leave. Probably even sooner than that. Some would-be dictator will seize power, or a neighboring country will take it over, it doesn't take any kind of a genius to see that.

We've sent people just barely out of their childhood off to die for no real reason. Is that right?


I don't think so. I don't care if you vote for Kerry, or if you don't vote at all, or if you vote for some obscure 3rd party candidate that we all know won't win... But voting for Bush means you're voting for someone that caused the death of hundreds of innocents.

"...But the economy..."

Shove the economy. Even HITLER improved the economy. Would you vote for Hitler?

Its not like we sent the army personell to Iraq against their will, they did sign up themselvs.

And apparantly, the majority of congress believed there was a "real reason" to go to Iraq

Actually, apart from oil, I believe the attack on Iraq was designed to get rid of Saddam primarily to protect Israel. He already demonstrated he could reach them with scuds in the first Iraqi war. If left unchecked it would only be a matter of time til he tried something worse.

Also we know he had WMD during the first war (he gassed the Kurds), and many weapons were destroyed by the UN Weapons Inspection teams. Then the report he gave the UN didn't answer the question of where all the rest were, so maybe they got shipped out of the country before the US actually attacked.

But the thought that he would actually be capable of launching any kind of missile attack against the US homeland is totally ludicrous.

I don't know about MOST people, but chemical and biological weapons, IMO are not WMD. They cause ALOT of death, but destroy very little else. Nukes on the other hand...

Going because you have a duty and it being against your will are two seperate things.

If you offered blanket honorary discharges tommorow for anyone who wanted one, the people who stayed in Iraq wouldn't be there against their will.

Gee, I wonder if that'll happen.

No, apparently the majority of congress believed that there was a "real reason" to allow the President to make that decision.

No one in congress voted to invade Iraq.

People who sign up for the Armed Forces should know what to expect. By signing up, it shows that they are willing.


On Oct. 16, 2002, congress signed into law the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution oof 2002". The name pretty much speaks for itself.

They're not exactly the same as regular old bombs, which you can just transport or make fairly easily. You don't just ******* take a chemical weapon, but it in a box, and try to sneak it into a country.

LMAO Ok you want to nick pick how many troops willingly went to war over duty, but you argue that congress did more then authorize when your proof is "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution oof 2002".

They expect to defend the United States or keep peace in war torn areas. They didn't expect to take part in a premptive proactive war because it's never happened in history.

Yeah the name pretty much speaks for itself. Try actually reading a bill sometime before you assume you know what it meant.

Fool.

News flash...our civilians are over there to try and make a profit from the fighting. They're nothing but war profiteers.

Shed a tear for them if you like, but if someone is going to try and make a profit off another person's suffering, they had better be prepared to deal with the consequences.

Innocents they are NOT.

How about his take on a living wage?

"It is our belief that minimum wage should be abolished, then reestablished at $ 1 - an hour, and held steady at $ 1., as this would force the cost of living down & reduce the costs on all necessities of life."

He's assuming someone cares about people working for $1.00 an hour.

Silly fascist.

Saddam did attempt to purchase missile technology from North Korea several times. Once he even paid them, and the stiffed him. North Korea has already sold the No Dong missile technology to Iran, which in turn Iran has created their own 300km missile (Shahab). Missile technology wasn't far from Saddam's reach, and it was only a matter of time before he had it.

Even if he didn't have the resources to hit the US w/ one, he still could have used on against Israel, UK, or Europe.

We have very real reasons to send these MEN and WOMEN over to serve their duty. You are just to ignorant to accept the reasons because your a ***** *** liberal.


We have soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines voluntering to go to Iraq even with the knowledge that they could die. I personally know 5 people that volunteered to go and are there now. I personally know 2 civilians over there right now one is in IT making 120k base, and the second is an Engineer making the same base pay. The first 80k being non taxable. These are one year tours with options to extend. You can not tell me that the vast majority of our military are not proud to be serving our country at a time of war. Granted it causes hardship on families and friends that worry about their well being however these people volunteered.

Have you people not been listening to Kerry for the last few months where he states that we will stay in Iraq, and that he does not believe there is a need to increase troop strengths. So those of you that support Kerry, how can you still want to vite for a man that is willing to keep status quo in a war that was started by his opponent. This is telling me that the Bush administration is doing something right.

I personally know 900 people who don't want to be there. I personally know 1000 people who were personally raped by Bush with a telephone pole.

What's that, my personal experience isn't relevant to the issue? The hell you say!

How can you still vote for a man who wants to repair the damage done by Bush without causing more suffering for the Iraqi people?

Outrageous!

I always love it when you get worked up. Personal experience is relevent ******** You have a dumb *** creating a post about how wrong it is that we are in Iraq and yet what does he base his opinions on? Liberal rhetoric? Real life experience? or the fact that some one is stupid enough to belief anything you write?

So tell me Smash when does personal experience come into play? For my side of the arguement my personal experience is very relevent especially when we have morans on this message board that go around spouting everyone they know is anti - bush, anti - war, anti - american so everything that has happened in this country since 19 mass murderers killed 3000 people is all George Bush's fault. Well I am one PROUD AMERICAN that will be voting for Bush.

You f*cks are criticizing the man for using diplomacy against NK, yet think we should go in and kick ***. Have any off you study a map and even know where NK is? Do you that the country is worse topographically than Iraq or even Afghanistan. Do you know that the people of NK are more out of touch with the outside world than the Iraqi's where and the NK are willing to die for their psuedo god.

You spout your Liberal Bullsh*t from what if not personal experience Smash? From what your puppet master tells you to say? Personal experience and knowledge has a lot to do with these debates. Especially when we have politico's like you saying how none of our soldiers want to be there.
