Is it really "worth it" ?? |
|
How many lives is it worth to have a puppet government set up so the oil companies and Halliburtons can profit? Who honestly believes there will be a working democracy, or even a semblance, in Iraq? And how long do you think it would really last? We have $300 billion in taxpayer dollars "invested" already. How much more is it "worth"? We have lost 1730 Americans and thousands have lost limbs and been seriously injured. Is it worth it? Will you sleep better at night when the Iraqis have their "freedom"? How much is it worth? Mr Bush says it is "worth it"?

1. Don't believe anything that POS says. |

If he truly believed it was 'worth it', why aren't the twins serving? He pontificates about how noble it is, well, why not send the girls?

What has Bush sacrificed?

3. Depends on your definition of "it" is. Is what worth it? |
|
What do we have for all the lives and money spent? What do the Iraqi's have?

4. Plain answer: No, it is not. |

Saddam Hussein was a contained enemy. A true leader could have removed him from the scene without launching the full might of America's military, without trapping us in a quagmire reminiscent of Vietnam, without the loss of so many lives, without taking $300 billion dollars out of the hands of taxpayers at a time when that money should be put to work for us here at home. A true leader would have found a way.
But then, we don't have a true leader. We have George W. Bush.
