Question about Iraq: What to do in Babylon?
What exactly is our goal in Iraq? Was it to remove Saddam Hussein? If so, I doubt we have to worry about him taking back over (though as a believer in the rule of law, his trial was a joke!). Was it to remove the weapons of mass destruction? Oops, none there. To liberate the Iraqi people? Umm, most see us as invaders and want us out. So much so that the Iraqi congress is talking about setting a deadline for us to leave. To fight "them", being "terrorists", over there so we don't have to fight them over here (which btw there were no terrorist cells there until we arrived)? That doesn't make sense... first off, they are still here... secondly, terrorism cannot be fought in a physical location, it must be fought on the mental landscape of the men and women who hold anti-West opinions... third, that is a ridiculous strategy, not strategy cliche.
What is "Victory in Iraq"?
How many men and women must die before someone has a plan? Even the Generals are against what has happened in this war. Don't believe me, visit Vote Vets. Even better, just watch the videos below.
What was our goal? More importantly, what is our goals now?
Now I'm depressed. I'll be back when my spirit returns.
I have always known about man. From the evidence, I believe his wisdom must walk hand and hand with his idiocy. His emotions must rule his brain. He must be a warlike creature who gives battle to everything around him, even himself. - Dr.Zaius
