****COST OF WAR in IRAQ*****

[GT40FIED]

Actually...good f@cking riddance to welfare, unemployment, and food stamps. I won't be hurt to see them go. There are so few people who actually need them and use them properly that they've worn out their welcome.

My apologies on not being clearer on what I meant when I said there aren't any WMDs. i always forget about the bottom feeders who will misconstrue whatever you say. By that I MEANT that there haven't been any since we've been there and it'll continue that way until after we're gone.

As for the people attacking us...I'm not sure I'd call them "isolated" Isolated means a few...not a few dozen. But like you said...a lot of these people want things back the way they were. That also leaves a lot of people who DO want us there. So you have to choose...either they're good people and we can leave their fate up to them or they're not and we have to stay there and play babysitter.

I dunno about this whole "declaring war" thing. It seems like congress is quick enough to green light military action...I don't see how declaring war would be any different. It just seems like we've gotten lazy (duh)...especially in political venues.

Honestly V8...I think we agree about more things than you'd care to ackowledge, we just don't agree in how they should be handled. I absolutely agree that Iraq is a safer place than America...just not for Americans. Somehow I doubt Iraq had 11,500 shooting murders alone last year...save of course for after we got there. Nobody perpetuates a culture of violence like we do. Perhaps that's why we're so eager to go to "war".
