Well bush lost nothing on that day , but some people lost everything without even knowing what was happening so that comment is highly insulting. We all remember the attacks on Sept 11 very well. What most people don't understand is how invading Iraq could be the solution. The only reason Bush and Cheney went into Iraq was to maintain a presence and have bases in the Middle East. After submitting to the demands of Bin Laden and removing the U.S. bases from Saudi Arabia, the U.S. needed somewhere to park their equipment and troops and Iraq's number came up. Have you not noticed that since moving the U.S. troops out of Saudi Arabia our old friend Bin Laden has not been a threat? Hell, even Bush admitted that he doesn't waste time thinking about him anymore. It seems that terror tactics do indeed work. |

If thats true then the new president will remove them from the middle east ,lets wait and see.Maintaining bases could have come in as a secondary agenda and the greatest mistake he has made is not getting out of iraq sooner because Us has enough aircraft carriers to maintain around that region that are equivalent more or less to bases and with less headache dont you think. We choose to go to the moon and to do other things, we choose to go to the moon not because its easy but because its hard. kennedy |

If thats true then the new president will remove them from the middle east ,lets I think the new president will have trouble abandoning the largest embassy complex in the world. While combat troops will most certainly be removed, a security force will remain in Iraq. As for using carriers to enforce U.S. policies, there's nothing that compares with having well equiped troops on the ground. Personally, I don't see the U.S. leaving the region until the last drop of oil is sucked out of the ground. |

Only time will reveal the true picture. We choose to go to the moon and to do other things, we choose to go to the moon not because its easy but because its hard. kennedy |

If Sadaam had been thinking when we threatened to invade he would have surrendered to the authority of the UN and allowed all the inspections they wanted. Hell, better to give up part of your sovereignty than to let the US war machine take a bite out of your ass. Especially when you have nothing to hide and your involvement in 9/11 was a total fabrication. The leadership of the US are a bunch of idiots. From the Greek, idiot, meaning, 'one who has no knowledge of reality'. It took Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz 20 years to lose the war in Vietnam. How long do you think it will take us to lose this war? |
