Iraqi Freedom: American Recession

If the Iraqi want us there, then they should pay private contractors for our military presence. The mercenaries should be under Iraqi control. Iraqi should be in charge of their own war. They have the dollars from the oil to pay for their own defense.

Whose decision was it to dump this on the shoulders of the American public? . . . . Oh, right.

Truth is, we maybe making "progress", but I doubt that this war can be "won".   Muslims have no freedom of choice, the extremist rule.  Anyone who has a mind of his own and dares to express it, dies.   Nobody can every win against mad fanatics.

President Johnson got the Job Corp. going. It was expensive, but cheaper than keeping poor kids on welfare their whole lives. Nixon decimated the Job Corp. to have funds to "win" the VN war. Now we see Bush destroying the space program and the economy of our state to "win" the war in Iraq. Both Nixon and Bush closed domestic military bases to fund their wars. Neither war was ever "win-able!" So what are our real objectives of being there?

This is a bit confusing because when we blasted that thing out of the sky, we were really taking weapons into space.  That violates international treaties. Why would Bush flex our muscle with that demonstration, then give such a blow to the space program?

I have learned not to listen to political explanations, but to figure out the truth for myself. This one stumps me.

If the American Public knew the truth about what was going on within their own Government there would certainly be another Revolution. That is why so much information is kept secret for "National Security" purposes.

NO linkage to the war... sorry... new law... liberal websites are not TRUE. Yes the war should have been over in 1 year, but the recession is economics 101: greedy housing folks, and cyclical. Clinton gave Bush a recession in 2001 and we were out of that in months.

Now Jimmy Carter, who still shows his face to people with short memories... his liberal judges are still on the bench and memorys of a RECESSION MAX is fresh with me.. 25 percent interest rates, OPEC induced Gaslines when gas was 90 cents a gallon, and 10 per cent employement. No Iraq War then?

FlaNative, Nixon promised he had a secret plan to end the war. When LBJ was pounded in NH, he was crushed and announced that he wouldn't be running. Then he made a real effort to end the war.
I really thought that he was going to do it until Agnew made a trip to Hanoi and the NVN pulled out of the negotiations. Not a coincidence, I think.
Then Nixon continued the war almost another 8 years, determined to win.
Students would march on the White House, and he would plan another trip to China.
If I remember right, LadyBird had a lot of stock in helicopters. At the end of the war, on tv, I watched the coptors flown to the Navy ships and tipped overboard.
Bush's oil, Cheney's Hailliburton, all politicans who have personal $$$$$ interests are really the reason for wars.
I just can't see fighting terrorist around the world and letting them walk across the Rio Grande. Stupidity!
