they speak for the "silent majority" the same people who voted Blair back in again in 2005! Blair and Bush wanted to est a democracy in the middle east, so to influence to whole region and bring peace in the long run. oil is a no brainer, of course it would go to a large oil firm, a neo-liberal government is hardly going to nationalise something like that.
I'll be civil when I see people who don't say that 9/11, a terrorist attack that claimed the lives of a couple of thousand americans, was a supported government operation. The only kind of guy who could think that up is a guy with a tin foil hat and living in his parents basement.
Also, I don't care what you left wing nutjobs say, you aren't racking up the casualties, we are, the people who don't go to Ivy league schools, the ones who work and work until they can't work anymore, the ones who make sure that people like you don't have to see what an invasion of your country would look like. But then again, what would sheltered pricks like you know other than your boyfriends cock? Nothing.
Cut this America bashing shit, it disgraces your people and your country.
You're all complete and utter assholes. I'm from New York and if I ever hear one of you douchebag brits in my country say something as disgraceful as that I will personally pound your fuckin' face in.
U better hope it's not a real badass hooligan :P cause when ur knuckles are bleeding u will be punctured and hit with assorted improvised weapons & stuff.. until it hurts very bad. I guess.. *carebox*
Wow you mean American doctors really treat Iraqis?? Sort of like the way Jessica Lynch was in a car accident and was taken in by an Iraqi hospital and given priority care. Only to have U.S. forces "extract" her in a daring operation! GO AMERICA!

Oil is going to dry out, dushbag(bad english, but u got it!!)Your country has 16 millions of poor people,and is growing up, the political system is going down, they can support all that people, so to keep holding that quality of life, they need to invade
the US never cared about the lies it told to justify this aggression. The goal was to establish a potent military presence outside Saudi. The goal has been achieved. Civil war is irrelevant. We have four HUGE bases in Iraq now and soon, the greatest fortress embassy in human history. We control the oil. Mission acomplished.
"The Future will be better tomorrow" George W. Bush - (my personal favourite quote by George Bush) That's the kind of person who leads a large country like USA. Someone should send that guy to school again.
Cowardly dickheads? You must be one of those "heroes" who are doing such a fine job over there in Iraq. Did you ever consider with your obviously limited scope of perception that there are some who are opposed to unilateral military force projected on a defenseless civilian population and justified on a flimsy (and disproved) pretext?

Garet43 OIF II was successful now OIF III is occupation and rebuilding and getting the iraqi government to stand on its own feet dealing with an arab country isn't easy specially if there own president says national he hates being president and wishes he wasn't but thats what happends when u deal with a arab country
As a citizen of the U.S. of A., I have to agree that 9/11 was an inside job. If my fellow citizens (you know, the minority that thinks that they voted George W. Bush into the Oval Office), who are not questioning the REALITY of this historic Crime of the New Century, then they are definitely living in a fog of their own choosing.
If you want to understand the real reasons why this war exists watch "Freedom to fascism" and hold down to your seat ! We Canadians are not free more then you in the USA because you guys lost your democracy and control over your governement. The worst is that you still beleive that you are free ! Wake up America !
Sorry, I must have been suffering from slight insanity when I wrote that!
What I had meant to say was ---> God bless you Clive Myrie, if there weren't journalists of your calibre in Iraq then there would be no hope for the rest of us.
US has military bases in all around the glove, and has more weapons than nobody else, and has been killing inocent people in Nicaragua, Cuba, Vietnam, Bosnia, Palestina, Adganistan, Irak and many other countries AND HOLD, IRAN IS NEXT, IF U R AMERICAN, PLEASE WAKE UP, OPEN YOUR EYES, AND SPEAK OUT, THE WORLD NEEDS YA!
For what? Becuase governments like killing people? Are you that stupid! Is the 9/11 video still on da tube... honestly... the war is for a reason and the men with balls out there need YOUR support. Deal with the real world lefto. Sorry.
sweetie i think u mean 'all around the globe' and than later on 'more weapons than anybody else'-as opposed to 'more weapons than nobody else'.no thanks needed but you could be saying the opposite to how u feel.imagine how dim u will feel then.
How ignorant are you? Afghanistan? Iran? Iraq? Afghanistan headquartered Bin Laden, Iraq bombed our ally Kuwait, and Iran bombed and hostaged our embassy in 1979. It's about time America asserts herself. The world needs America? That's rich. When America needs the world, the world bends over backwards for our enemies.
Afghanistan OFFERED Bin Lada on a silver platter to Bush.. no reaction. Saddam didn't have nothing much to do with him. hmm some country offered BL to Clinton too, but nah.. IT IS A LOAD OF BS. BL is an asset very handy for excuses to secure oil and gas supplies. I have known this for... 17 years?
They only try to wash the blood from theyre souls.... Maybe we humans we will forget soon about this...BUT GOD NEVER FORGET!AND EVERY ONE OF US WILL GET FROM HIM WHAT DESERVE`S ... No one will escape before paying for his mistakes and sins!!!
I`ve seen also an identic reportage on a romanian television (Antena 3),and on an german television. I have some doubts. I think this is only a media propaganda pro USA. It is journalism propaganda for washing the bloody stains from coalition hands. Do not believe everything you see on media(TV,journals,etc) Is american propaganda.
It's interesting what kind of backstabbers some populations are. America has the world's back, but when America asks for help, the world turns into a massive cowardice group. Pathetic. I say we stop helping other countries, especially economically, and we'd see how fast everyone would fall. I'd say in 3.5 seconds.
yeah i say you do stop "helping". It hasnt done much good in that country, the number of ordinary people who just die in random attacks every day is sickening
What do you mean by random attacks? Yes, Iraqi citizens are killed everyday by random attacks by terrorists. American military have their attacks, too. The difference is U.S. troops don't aim for citizens, those are accidents that happen in war. Whereas, terrorists don't care where they aim as long as they kill someone. Iraqis celebrated after Hussein was hanged. I'd say that's pretty good.
The U.S. troops don't wooot? U have any idea how much shit is going on that u never hear about? come on... lots of triggerhappy sniveling testo-lumps join the forces too, and thus shit WILL happen. It is just very important that people don't hear about it!
Troops can't tell civilians from terrorists. How to avoid shooting them? In some cases self preservation may tip the balance in already tense situations. I saw news footage of troops shooting a car coming "too close" (about 100mtres) It crashed into a wall. The news men asked if someone would go and help. None of the soldiers would go. So the newsmen went. The parents were dead but the little girl survived. One more kid out there without parents because of us "saving them". Shame on us.
If you call your brothers and say "there's a kid in the next block I want us to beat up because he's not nice" but your brothers say "let's not do that, just isolate his house so he can't hurt any one" but you go anyway, bust down his door and beat him, then I don't consider your brothers as "cowards" or "stabbed you in the back" but rather, giving advice you chose to ignore.
Advice? Such as... ignore it and it'll go way? We've ignored it since 1979 when Iran-funded terrorists bombed our embassy in Iran. It's been 28 years. I'd say that's long enough.
I thought we were talking about Iraq? Irag is not settled and you already want to discuss Iran! No we should not ignore it. I was talking about containment, which is what we had with the no-fly zones and inspections. There were no WMD. There was no connection with Al-Queda. If we had continued monitoring there would not be Thousands of dead soldiers from America, Britain etc. And we would not have murdered thousands of more Iraqi civilians. Morethan the inocents in the twin towers.
There will be no winners in Iraq. If the U.S. pulls out it looses, but then Iraq degenerates into a civil war. If the U.S. stays...it has little to no chance of success and the Iraqis and American soldiers die. As an American who was against the war from the beginning I feel largely because of our numskull of a president there will be a lot of blood spilled that didn't need to be.
Your right my friend this war was wrong from the start. And let us not forget all the others that tried to convince the people iraq had WMDs, Bush is not the only one with blood on his hands. And now they want to start on Iran. This can only lead to more suffering, no freedom is being gained from this war on terror.
Sadly, it has grown well beyond a war against Al Qaeda. The invasion of Afghanistan could have been justified under the War on Terror, but Iraq could not and was not. It was sold under the premise that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and any war with Iran will be because some fabricated or real conflict that will almost inevitably break out along the border. The War on Terror is a metaphor for a war for control of the Middle East.
