After watching Baghdad ER can some tell me what the hell the mission is

[bigdarryl]

That show was horrifying watching casualty after casualty come into the ER with sever wounds. it just brought reality to me WHY in the hell are these soldiers over there and what is the cause they are dying and loosing limbs for.

1. We are fighting there so we don't have to fight em here just doesn't

seem to do dignify the loss does it?

[Gregorian]

To keep the price of gas high.

Among other things.

[elehhhhna]

2. the flowers they're throwing must have lots of thorns

[tsuki]

3. I had to walk out of the show. God forgive me, but I hate Bush.

He is Evil.

4. I am just stunned

Randi Rhodes was right. What a great great documentary.

[IndianaGreen]

5. That's the question that one of the doctors asked

The lives lost and forever changed by this useless crazy war, with over 17,000 wounded and nearly 2,500 dead. When will it end?

8. Baghdad ER

Hey there's democracy in Iraq and they have a government now so whats the excuse for still being in Iraq.

[OKDem08]

6. what was your take on the presentation of the purple heart?

the soldier did not even acknowledge the presenting general.
He seemed disgusted.

[mdmc]

7. stable pro western democracy

that was the goal.

Instead of protesting this use of force, the dlc cheerleads for 'the mission'.

We ain't goin nowhere

[Loge23]

9. The cause: So GWB could be a "war president"

The idiot president's entire life has been play time.
Pretend I'm a businessman. Pretned I'm a pilot. Pretned I'm a soldier. Pretend I'm a "war president".
The games have become tragic now with real American lives instead of play money or tin soldiers.
The idiot president is a disgrace of humanity.

10. That wasn't the purpose

They specifically took no position on the war or public policy, it was just to show the raw reality of war. It really doesn't matter whether we have a mission or not, the day to day brutality of war is always like that and we should never forget it.

[Bozita]

11. In praying over the body of a GI, a priest mentioned "this senseless war"

And senseless it is.

[TomClash]

12. That's easy

Oil and contracts.

Big Oil gets control of Iraqi oil and Halliburton, GE and others get contracts.

You and I get - well, nothing.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

13. We're fighting them over there cuz we couldn't get them to

come over here.

[Captain Hilts]

14. To get home alive. nt
