Cooperation? You mean like the cooperation we get with the 25 other ntions that are helping us in Iraq?

You mean cooperation like the 5 different U.N. Resolutions backing OIF?

This isn’t a big war. If it was a BIG WAR...everyone above the age of 18 and under the age of 130 would be sweating about what their draft lottery number was.

If Iraq is the “easy way out”...why isn’t is done and overwith yet?

How many more decades were we supposed to let Saddam violate the terms of his 1991 surrender?

How long were we going to let him permit al-Qaeda to operate unfettered within his borders.

All of you anti-Iraqi automatons that say we should be in Afghanistan and NOT in Iraq don’t seem to realize that we did the same thing in there (Afghanistan) that we did in Iraq...we went after and removed the regime that was sponsoring and protecting al-Qaeda.

But you go ahead and keep kidding yourself that Iraq had nothing to do with the “real” War On Terror.

The 25 nations that are cooperating with us are mostly countries that don’t harbor terrorists. We need cooperation with middle eastern countries, real cooperation, not just lip service to our media while funding terrorists in the shadows.

The UN has no place in American foreign policy; why are we over there dying to enforce UN resolutions anyway?

Iraq isn’t over and done with because we’re still fighting a politically correct war. You can’t win a war when you refuse to hunt down and kill the enemy.

We wouldn’t have had a problem with Saddam had we taken care of him to begin with. We didn’t get it right the first time what makes you think we’ll get it right the second time? Do you typically use “let’s fix our first mistake” as a rallying cry for a war?

What national interest did we advance in invading Iraq EITHER time? None!

al-Qaeda could have more effectively been hunted down with cooperation from the host countries and covert forces, not with big flashy wars that let them escape into other surrounding areas or blend into the population to launch terrorist attacks against our troops
