Enemy of the State

There you have it folks. Conservatives believe that it is honorable to stand up to a mass murderer like Saddam, and liberate 20 million Iraqi souls. Lefties think that "honorable" conduct is reflexively disobeying orders within the military, and refusing to help those same Iraqi people.
Agent Provocateur
The will have left us no other choice. Rosebraugh is fair game.
... and let God sort them out
I'll see to it.
You are not supported as long as you continue to serve the unjust and horrific U.S. government.
Nice that they get their "we support the troops but not the war" lie debunked in the first line.
You are not protecting the public in the United States by carrying out the imperialistic orders of your Commander in Chief.
I give them kudos for acknowledging that his IS the CIC, and not the usual "selected" non-sense.
You are actually taking part in activities that further endanger the U.S. public by creating further hatred against the United States among the international community.
Funny, when Clinton did nothing for 8 years, the Jihadists grew increasingly brazen in their attacks... Beirut barracks bombing, WTCI, the US embassies in Africa, the USS Cole, etc. Now that we have struck back in Afghanistan and Iraq, not a single attack has occurred in over a year. Go figure!
The only beneficiary of your work is the U.S. economy and U.S. corporations who have a vested interest in rebuilding and helping to run a U.S. occupied Iraq.
Helping our economy recover from the lastr terrorist attack is a bad thing? Making sure that the violent reprisals that are starting in Afghanistan do not happen in Iraq is a bad thing?
Yes, Saddam Hussein is an evil dictator but that is NOT the reason you were sent into a war in Iraq.
Well, it surely is a phenomenal fringe benefit... and preventing his amazingly sadistic son from reaching the throne for 40 years is even more so.
The U.S. government, while convincing you and telling the U.S. public that this is a war for the liberation of the Iraqi people, is only after the regional power and extensive resources that the occupation of Iraq will bring.
Resources we will pay fair market value for, as the rest of the world does, and the "regional power" benefit is not exactly needed. Our bases in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and UAE are more than sufficient to project power all over the region. You can dismiss the humanitarian effort all you wish, but the Iraqi people sure as hell appreciate it.
By allowing U.S. corporations to “rebuild” Iraq and by placing a U.S. friendly puppet regime in Baghdad, the U.S. government and economy will benefit tremendously from this unjust pursuit.
As will the iraqi economy. Take a gander at who is #2 and #3 on the world economic stage... two other nations we installed "puppet regimes" in!
Unfortunately, you are the pawns of privileged U.S. governmental policy makers who send you out to massacre populations,
and yet they haven't, but what's truth to a good rant! Please, do go on!
risking your own lives only to help increase their corporations and economy. As your loved ones back at home support you and believe you are protecting the freedom and democracy of the United States, you may come home to them only in a body bag – a death that would not be protecting anything other than U.S. economic interests.
Which they volunteered to do, because they are brave, honorable men and women who want their loved ones back home to continue to reap all the rewards that our nation makes available to those who are willing to work for them.
The United States government, at no time in recent history, has been involved in “humanitarian” pursuits.
ROFL! $15 billion just for AIDS in Africa, billions for nations that are openly our enemies, billions for food around the globe, billions in subsuduzed and free medical assistance, billions in emergency relief every time ANY nation (even our sworn enemies) faces a natural disaster, billions for research into curing global diseases, billions in loan guaranntees (that we know darn well will never be repaid, yet we never forgive our own debts to others or ourselves), billions for military protection of those who can't protect themselves... and these contributions are matched and exceeded by PRIVATE American donations, programs, missions, and charities. Really, dude, if you're going to go for some measure of respect, you really have to avoid these crashing and PAINFULLY obvious non-sequiturs.
If this truly was the concern in Iraq, why then didn’t the U.S. government act to remove Saddam from power when he first began committing atrocities against his own people? Why did Bush Sr. stop after the removal of Iraqis from Kuwait? Why has the United States government, if it is so concerned with “humanitarian” efforts consistently overlooked and ignored international humanitarian violations?
Because scum like you told him that he would be behaving as an imperialist bully if he tried to do so, and he made the mistake of listening to you. Thankfully, we won;t make that mistake anymore.
Why did the United States government purposely sit back and watch as an estimated 800,000 people were massacred in Rwanda by the Hutu government in 1994? Why did the United States even remove UN peacekeeping troops from the area?
Because blacks in this nation will not permit a "white government" to interfere with the "black governments" of any nation, no matter how brutal. Once again, we try to listen to you morons, but don't come crying to us when things go badly afterwards.
You are not supported as long as you continue to serve the unjust U.S. government, its corporations and economy.
They are by me, and about 150 million more just like me... and that's just in this nation.
You will be heavily supported when you exercise disloyalty to the military and refuse to kill for the U.S. economy. You will be supported when you spread the truth that this is not a “humanitarian” effort. The choice is yours – come home in a U.S. corporate made body bag, dying for the economy and increasing the threat of terrorist attacks on the U.S. public…or refuse to serve and fight in this corporate war and come home in the most honorable way – by standing up to your Commander in Chief.
No, then they'll only be exercising their stupidity, because they can and will face some very serious consequences for doing so. But thanks for trying.
