So, why are we in Iraq?

[Erika]

There have been terrorist bombings in Spain, Turkey, Egypt, and London.

They keep on coming. Why, are we in Iraq? How will our presence there accomplish anything? Why did Bush place us there?

We need to start demanding answers. We've lost too many.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

1. Er, "To fight them over there instead of over here" LOL? EVERY time some

lame wingnut politician or pundit spews this they should be challenged on exactly how putting the whole US Army in Iraq and making them targets for car bombers is preventing anyone from getting attacked in the US.

There is no reasoning whatsoever behind this.

[Erika]

4. Agreed.

There is No reason that we are in Iraq.

5. Not to mention...

..."over there" taking on a brand new meaning to the average Londoner...

2. Bush needed a second term

To get his paws at the supreme court. What better why to do it than by starting a war.

[Erika]

6. But the Iraqis never were a threat

Even though he said they were. And we're there two years later?

[DanCa]

10. Ah but to think like bush you got to think drunk

That's why I disagree with his brand of theology. My grandma and mom taught me the bible he learned his at AA meetings.

[Solly Mack]

great "Democratic" leader and replace it with his own image...

[Erika]
