The problem in Iraq is not from terrorists. That's what the Bush administration would like you to believe, but that's not the case. The majority of the violence is ethnicly based. The *****es and the Sunnis will continue to go at until someone makes them get along. The Hussein loyalists are still fighting and will continue to fight. They are well armed and understood this is the type of war they would have to fight.

Lanny don't be so narrow minded. Terrorists are any group that use terror to fight. That is what they are doing in IRAQ. Did I say they were Bin Ladden forces or Hezbollah, no so dont try to siffer my writing, read what I wrote.

And all of that happened prior to 1991. If it was such a big deal, why didn't Bush41 go in and finish the job? Because he knew Hussein was the only thing holding the region together. He was smart enough to listen to the military and the intelligence community and take their advice. His ######ed son just happened to surround himself with guys smarter than him (there are canned veggies smarter than Dumbya) and manipulative. These were veterans who were denied under Bush41, they were not going to be denied under Bush43.

The rebellon happened after the Gulf war when the US said fight against Saddam and then didnt help them, thousands of people died. You think he stopped killing his people after the gulf war? No, just like Stalin he rid himself of any person that questioned him, that is how he maintainted the country, but if that is better for the Iraqi people then I guess what you say is right.

Wow, great source! The White House hasn't put out any propaganda in the last five years now, have they? Bush43 learned his lessons well from Bush41. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the women in the article is this little girl all "growed up".

HELLO, although the link is from the white house they are using other organizations data and have cited it aswell. But I guess any data that the white house uses is WRONG no matter where it comes from.

Yes, because conditions under Saddam were worse, right? Well, not according to those who lived it. The op/ed piece I posted earlier says that in spades.

The violence is front and centre, yes, but when Saddam was in power everyone knew what was going on, it was simply a don't ask, don't have to worry idea. As long as people kept their mouth shut they had little to worry about.

You're right, oil is but a small part of the bigger biger picture. But where do you think that $300 billion is coming from? American tax payers. And where do you think that money is going? To American companies in the military industrial complex. How the hell do you think Bush is keeping the economy afloat in the United States? Through borrowed money. He borrows money, its paid to all of the companies that are going great guns (pardon the pun) manufacturing weopons and support services, and that gets reported as economic growth and prosperity. Without the war this growth wouldn't be on the books. American tax payers are the ones funding this war, funding the reconstruction effort, and funding the "economic growth" the Republicans are crowing about.

Fair enough I agree with you on that point and it shows that it has little to do with oil and a lot to do with padding business exec's pocket books.

Bull****. A parent has the right to honor their child they way they wish. I don't agree with her tactics, but she has the right to do what she thinks is the right thing

Come on Lanny, you think a parent has the right to decide that YOUR proffession is or isn't worth while or justified, I think not. She is doing much more of disgracing her son than honouring him.
