Socrates you sound very childish repeating Bush talking points. It is very nice to know that in 8 months, you and the other 28% of the country that support this current administration will no longer be in power.
We’ll fight them there, so they can’t fight us here is probably the stupidest justification for war in Iraq in the history of the world.
Where to start? Well, the folks that attacked us aren’t there, they are less then 5% of the current militants on the ground, what is there is the startings of a Civil War that we started, and our now policing with our blood and treasure.
The folks that did attack us, we have done nothing to contain, and have given the greatest possible recruiting tool by starting this war. Every day we spend occupying Iraq, we fall further behind in the battle for the hearts and minds of the region. Hamas, Al Qaeda and militant Islamic-extremists in general have dramatically grown in number, strength, and public support and this has largely been funded by our tax dollars supporting this illegal, immoral war that is bankrupting our economy.
We’re fighting them there so we don’t have to fight them here. At least it rhymes. We will be greated as liberators. Saddam Hussein has WMD’s. Saddam Hussein helped plot 9/11. The oil in Iraq will fund the entire occupation. We may be there 6 days, 6 weeks, I doubt 6 months.
