Why would we ever want to go back to Iraq? And at what cost? I never really understood why we went into Iraq in the first place. But OK maybe that's just me but if you are going to invade and conqueror a nation shouldn't you bring along enough troops to occupy and control the nation?

IIRC Bush's (then) top general warned that the invasion plan did not have enough troops to control Iraq after Sadams army collapsed. Romsfield fired the general and assured everyone that the Iraq's would welcome us with "rose pedals at our feet". So that was the plan to occupy and control Iraq? Rose pedals at our feet? Ok maybe it's just me, but this does not sound like a good plan.

But after open rebellion brought out in Fa-lu-ja and Americans were draged thru the street and hung burning from a bridge by a mob of 100's of Iraqs Maybe it's just me but I would think it was time to open up a serious can of wup ass.

Nope the first battle of Fa-lu-ja ended in a tie, if you can believe that. We got a tad more serious in the second battle of fa-lu-ja and won that one and maybe it's just me but to this day I still can't believe there is one building left standing in that hell hole city. I would have leveled the place with artillery as soon as I knew the facts on how the Americans died there. But that just me.

And then there is the Shiite what's he name with his miltia in southren Iraq that thumps his nose at us all the time. Why is he and his men still walking around and talking?

After taking all of the above into consideration I have decided that Iraq is not worth one dime of American money and not one drop of American blood. But that just me.
