JeffJohnson: If you said that they would punch you in the face...the families of the military know they were fighting for a good cause, and most soldiers beleive in the mission. Go ahead, walk up to a dude who's son was killed in Iraq and tell him that his son died for nothing, I dare you.

5% is 5% too much to fight a war under false pretenses. I guess we could ask the family members of soldiers who have been killed for nothing.

Jeffjohnson: ok so the Iraq War is 5% of our budget and you are going to blame 5% of the budget for "bankrupting America" Give me a break, The Iraq War is the cheapest large-scale War we have ever run as it only costs about 5% of our Budget and about 5% of GDP. Read more than liberal rantings

So if the country is bankrupt, how is it that Obama's going to pay for his trillion dollar spending spree?
JeffJohnson87 (December 31, 1969 at 3:59 pm)
It does apply because it did become a quagmire and helped bankrupt this country.

Stupid liberals... you always forget that Saddam broke the peace treaty over and over again. So what Cheney said in 1994 does not apply to the post 9/11 era. But silly liberals despise the actual facts. God Bless You Dick Cheney!USA #1

russian: so I guess the Georgians should hate you guys right? You saying USA is an invader when you are from Russia is a JOKE at best. Get a clue...we freed Iraq and STOPPED the killing

Fuck Cheney! Why should you as an American hate Saddam or the rest of the world? Have they invaded your country and killed your loved ones, tried to teach you how to live and wipe your ass, etc. They don't even care about you sorry Amerikkkans either, it all about the NWO. Fuck that! A coward dies a thousand deaths, a real solja lives but ones. If these fuckers try to invade my motherland I will fight to death and not be afraid. Russian Pride and Peace on Earth.

philwynk: Amen brother! These morons here show more hate towards Bush and Cheney than they do towards Saddam and Al-quaida!

Jesus, Cam, get a clue. The reasons given for the Iraq war were: 1) Iraq brutalized their own people. 2) Iraq flouted UN restrictions on weapons programs. 3) Iraq funds and trains terrorists. 4) Iraq might supply WMDs to terrorists. 5) Iraq is a threat to its neighbors. These were all TRUE. The invasion was the culmination of a 15-year buildup encompassing 3 presidencies and 8 Congresses. Knock of the brainless sound bites and learn a little history, willya?
