Here is why we went into Iraq, in case you forgot.
The Iraqi security forces [military and police] have lost twice as many killed as we have. Civilian losses have been close to 30,000 from terrorist attacks. Still, they have voted up to 12 million strong under threat of death and injury to vote in a democratic government and approve a constitution. Iraqi government officials and their families are being assassinated, yet they have the courage to stay in these jobs to move their country towards democracy. They deserve our support and recognition of their sacrifice. Their is a hunger for freedom.
We are fighting AQ in Iraq. AQ has said that this is their central front against the US. These are the same guys who killed almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens on 9/11 as well as multiple attacks around the world including our embassies in East Africa and the USS Cole. If we leave, AQ is not going away. They will stay in Iraq as well as attack us anywhere else in the world. First and foremost, we are in Iraq and Afghanistan to protect our own national interests. It is part of the WOT.
you can say whatever you want...but if you have a enemy then you should use overpowering force. We didnt and it came back to bite us as we all expected the people of Iraq to rise up and joyfully take over and throw rose pedals at us and welcoming us as liberators aka france/ww2. Someone would have t be in REAL denail to see that it hasnt and wont happen that way and that looking back we should have just bombed Saddam into oblivion and screw what the rest of the world thought.
Now put it into a stupid Nintendo game or make it a reality show and maybe the electorate will get it.
Though after last night, I doubt it.
