BS never flew with me.
Hmmm, seems as though BS flies FROM you, not with you!
and covert intelligence and special forces operations that hit terrorists hard and fast wherever we find them,

I guess nothing, even the truth, will get through your head.
You don't belive the reports of the citizens being happy that our troops are helping them? Why? Please tell me. I know people who ARE in Iraq, and WERE in Iraq, and they said that the Iraqi people are VERY happy that they are there.
Sure, some citizens die in the cross-fire, and that's horrible, but it's a WHOLE lot better than letting them be tortured by Saddam.
Oh, and I guess Destroying the Taliban in Afghanistan, capturing Saddam, destroying his regime, and killing or capturing most of the Al qaeda leaders just isn't good enough for you?
Not to mention, we didn't destroy the Taliban, we just sent them scattering out into the world (for
all I know heading up through my state from the grossly unguarded Mexican border), and we NEVER caught Bin Laden, we may have if Bush's stupid @$$
obsession with Iraq didn't divert our full military attention away from the prize.
Oh, and the fact that Saddam won't let people into his country makes him good for some reason? I guess him funding the terrorists doesn't scathe his record either...
, could you please point out where I said that? And he was NOT the only one funding terror, what about our Saudi
buddies? They, among many others have given far more money to terrorists, but I guess since they SAY they support the USA that makes them good for
some reason? AND, they actually supported the terrorists that attacked US, where as Saddam supported terror groups against Israel, so are you saying
OUR soldiers should die to protect Israel? Seems Israel has ther own army.
I'll tell you, my uncle is a green beret, special forces, and they have been doing things like that. The reason that we don't hear of it IS BECAUSE THEY ARE COVERT.
And, no, Bush didn't say that the war can't be one.
"I don't think you can win it," Bush responded. "But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world. Let's put it that way."
He came publicly and said that is not what he meant. He said that it can't be one easily, we won't ever be at peace with bin-laden and be able to allie with him... He said that we can't kill ALL the terrorists, but can still destroy their regime and make it impossible for them to pull off such attacks. He didn't say that the war CAN'T be one.

Well, I would say that Saddam having used WMD's before, acquired them before, and most likely still had them puts him in a position to be a threat to the U.S.
Oh yeah, those terrorists!! Alot of their leaders were IN Iraq, plus Saddam, I think that makes a pretty good reason to go in.
Well, I don't agree with them twisting Kerry's words, but I still think that if we had CAUGHT Bin-laden, Bush would have a MUCH easier chance at winning this election, seeing as how it would prove that his plan worked...
Well, you're right about that in a way. If we had not invaded, there wouldn't have even been a war...that brings us back to point A. Unless, of course, you are still referring to the covert operations. That wouldn't have done it. I don't think we could beat the terrorists with just covert ops, and Special Forces.
Well, we should have jumped in. Different president...sort of. But just because we didn't do the right thing then, doesn't mean that we shouldn't now. And I do believe that this is the right thing.
And there's where we contradict. I believe that it's a good reason, and would be proud. I would be sad, of course wish that it hadn't happened, but I wouldn't feel like he died for an un-worthy cause.
True, and that's why this subject is so touchy. When do we pull out? What will happen when we DO pull out? Because, eventually, we ARE going to have to leave Iraq.
You live in Phoenix too!?!? WIERD!!! I made a post a while ago asking if anyone was from Arizona...nobody replied. What part do you live in?
