What song best sums up the previous year?

Rosstaman,

If only it was that simple Rosstaman. World politics is much more complex than your binary thinking.

I'm sure when he leaves office in a few years the world will magically become a better place.

Oh by the way Congress, both Clinton's, most of America, and other countries also felt we needed to go into Iraq.

If Iraq isn't important than why does Bin Laden want us out so bad?

Just a few questions that I hope makes it past the A'gon staff. They've blocked 2 of my posts and counting - I guess they only let posts they agree with through.

Here is a partial list of people who also thought and insisted publicly that Saddam had WMDs and also engaged in or recommended military action:

Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
Al Gore
Madelyn Albright
John Kerry

Again, if Iraq is not a part of the terrorist network, why are they fighting so hard to take control of it? And nobody on this thread said the Nazis were noble. Come on, people, these things can't be that complex that even slightly subtle and contexual discussions confuse you?

Oh yeah, good old Fallujah. We sat on our asses for 6 months while the enemy took over the city, fortified, armed, resupplied with weapons and even fake uniforms, before we did anything. And we didn't do anything until giving the civilians 4 weeks to leave. The Taliban had taken over and were turning it into little Afganistan. And when we did go in we fought so softly that if we'd done it that way in WWII we'd still be fighting in North Africa.

And Rosstaman? Jessica Lynch was raped & assulted and on crutches 2 months after resuce. There, that make ya feel better?

"Oh by the way Congress, both Clinton's, most of America, and other countries also felt we needed to go into Iraq."

"If Iraq isn't important than why does Bin Laden want us out so bad? "

The information was based on this administration's analysis of their intelligence community findings. That analysis was presented to Congress and the UN. The UN and most of the world wanted the sanctions and inspections to continue. The UN weapons inspectors did not concur with the Bush administration's analysis. AND let us not forget the Downing Street memo, and Bush’s former treasury secretary Paul O’Neill who revealed that the President took office in January 2001 fully intending to invade Iraq and desperate to find an excuse for pre-emptive war against Saddam Hussein.

As far as Bin Laden, he should be found and be tried as the murderer he is, but not at the expense of US casualties and the Iraqi people who had nothing to do with Bin Laden or 9/11.

"And Rosstaman? Jessica Lynch was raped & assulted and on crutches 2 months after resuce. There, that make ya feel better?"

Cheap shot, tomryan.
I'm not attacking anyone for their viewpoint. I'm simply expressing my opinion on the Iraq War. It's still the American way to be able to have a political debate without name calling or cheap innuendos.

For what it's worth, I was 100% in support of the US and coalition forces going into Iraq to liberate Kuwait from Saddam and his army. I was 100% in support of going into Afganistan to capture or kill Bin Laden and end the Al-Qaeda training camps and the Taliban who allowed and supported them to exist.

I don't look at politics like a super bowl game, where one supports their team no matter what.

How about a variation of the Elton John song "Someone save my life tonight." Please save my life.

Well here we are 40 years to the day since John F Kennedy spoke the famous words "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

The question has long since been turned around to ask what Uncle Sam can do for me.

All the families of this country have suffered at the hand of the welfare mentality. The black family which was very strong and stable at the time is now in shambles with 70% of their children born out of wedlock. This is the result of the welfare state the democratic party has instituted. This is not at all to point a finger at black America. They are victims of horrible policy made by 'rich white folks!'

If the Democratic party would come back to where it was in 1964 then moderates would be able to support it, but the right has moved to the left and the left has fallen to the radicals. If you don't believe me, read the writings of JFK and listen to the speeches. He was more conservative than modern republicans.

Weapons of mass distruction have been found many times in Iraq, but even if the enriched uranium and 20,000 lbs of serin gas had not been found, Iraq broke the terms of the peace treaty they signed with Sr.
