Um... just for the record, I'm not a dimocrat and I really resent the implication that I'd have to be - why resort to name calling? That's childish. Besides, I thought our reason was WMD?? Where are they? And again - if the mission was accomplished, why are we still there? And for the record, Saddam Hussein hated Al Qaeda, and from what I've read, he hated them more than he hated the US. And I never said that taking out Hussein didn't go quickly, so don't spin my words either. Frankly, I thought the whole basis was that funny little matter that Hussein had WMD. Oddly enough, no one can seem to find them...
Actually, wasn't the whole reason Al Qaeda in the first place? Didn't they attack us? The whole notion of a war on terror is foolish at best - you can't reason with insanity and you can't fight an ideal. It's two different mindsets.
This action has caused Iraq to plummet into civil war. I'd say if that was the president's objective, then yes - mission accomplished. If not, I'd say he really needs to spend less time in Crawford and more time trying to figure out how to get us out of the mess he created.
Reading and comprehension are key. I did not call you a dimocrat. I said you were trying to make a dimocratic point. There's a difference.
Do try to keep up.
Like I said, which you failed miserably to comprehend, we're there for a different reason than what we went for in the first place. Typical dimocratic talking points that have no basis on the conversation. "Where's the WMD?" "Saddam didn't attack us." blah blah blah.
Talk about spin. WMD was but one of 17 reasons. Something (nearly) the entire world believed, and Saddam himself claimed. And no, Saddam didn't attack us. He attacked his own. He also threatened the use of WMD.
Whether he had them or not is besides the point, because it's after the fact and we had no way of knowing because he routinely refused to let anyone see, (after he claimed he still had them.)
In case I didn't make it perfectly clear for you, we're in Iraq (now) to fight terrorists. Terrorists that want to kill you. Terrorists that want to use Iraq as a base of operations to kill you.
As for the war on terror being foolish. I agree. You can't have a war on terror. It's like having a war on blitzkrieg. We are in a war of the defense of Western Civilization. Defense against radical Islamic Muslims (RIMs) that want nothing more than to see you dead, (or converted to Islam). A war that was declared on us a long time ago, but we ignored and let fester into what it is now.
It's a global war. Look around you. See how many instances EVERY DAY are taking place where RIMs are attacking Western culture, attacking women, attacking (and using) children.
Is that ok with you?
BTW, do you have any idea what Sharia Law is and how it would affect YOU as a female? You'd be nothing more than a pet. Property. Something to be commanded, raped, and killed if you spoke against your 'man' or committed adultery or defied him in any way.
