You think Iraq wants a government like ours? When most of our own citizens don't trust/believe our government.
We have enough trouble defending our own constitution with people bending gun laws.
I think people have forgot we are after Al-Qaida/Bin Laden. Now our plan is FREE Iraq. Fuck Iraq, we came them guns 20 years ago to fight the Russians and now they are using them on us.
Right wing - Left wing. Both are crooks. But when I compare one evil to another. Left wing doesn't look like a bunch of Nazis

We aren't trying to make their government like ours in terms of a two party system or anything. We are giving the power to the people to decide for themselves. The only ones over there that are against us are the Bathe party and the foreign terrorists that just went there because that's where we were. I have family and friends serving in Iraq and Afghanistan right now and I can assure that, from what I've hear from someone who is standing in the middle of the desert right this second in harm's way, that the overwhelming majority or regular citizens are very greatful for what we are doing.
We aren't only after bin Laden and al-Qaida either. There is a war on terror and any nations that harbor terrorists, so it's not limited to only al-Qaida. And while I am still in complete agreement with you that our motives in Iraq are questionable, that still doesn't make al-Qaida the only group we are going after. Saddam Hussein was a terrorist, not neccesarily to us, but to his own people.

I am on the exact same page with you in regards to both parties being corrupt and crooked. I can't stand politicians. But since you are so concerned with partisonship and bin Laden, why don't you try this one on for size...
This was like 10-12 years ago. Sudan had him. They offered to hand him over to us. Bill Clinton declined the offer fearing political fallout. If any fingers are to be pointed in regards to not getting bin Laden when we should have, it's pointing directly at Slick Willy. He had him on a silver platter and he turned him down because he was too afraid of hurting his public image.
And then he goes and gets a BJ from a fat chick like that's good for his image.... :rolleyes:

This comment is totally out of left field and needs some clarification. (If you dont mind elaborating. I'm just not sure what specifically you are taling about.)
