[linkinparkdude345]

[KillerQueenRalphe]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[merrett]

Hahahah funny joke

[Raulster15]

@linkinparkdude345 You stupid ass al qaeda had absolutely no connection with Iraq. 9/11 had absolutely no connection with iraq in any way. Al qaeda was based out of afghanistan. You obviously did not watch the video, or if you did that's even sadder b/c you didn't comprehend anything.

[superlardbucket]

yeah... leave Iraq... sounds like a really good idea. After all, that'll plunge the Iraqi's into an even greater chaos than they're in now and we'll just end up having to go back in a year at the most and have to start from even further back than when we went in, but hey! Let's do it!

[BI30]

Me thinks you didn't watch the video.

[superlardbucket]

Not ture, I watched the video to the end, I just have studied a little thing called history, so from what I've learned, I've got a pretty good idea of what's going to happen. This is pretty similar to what happened at the end of WWI. We defeated Germany, then pulled out instead of staying and rebuilding them which left a lot of anti-American and English sentiment which helped Hitler rise to power and start WWII. History repeats itself for those who do not know it.

[BI30]

If history is your bag, go back to something a bit more recent like Vietnam and read what they were saying would happen if we pulled out "too soon". As for WWII having anything to do with how we left after WWI, that's nonsense. The American Great Depression wasn't just an American phenomena with no impact on the rest of the world.

[superlardbucket]

It's not non-sense. Hitler, upset about the result of WWI, used anti-american sentiment as an excuse to his people to build up a massive military and to strike at and invade Europe, and they bought it because they were so bitter and the same will happen in the Middle East, except instead of Hitler it will be corrupt governments and radical terrorist groups. BTW, because we left Vietnam, Communism was able to spread, and I don't know too many countries where communism helps the lower 90%.

[BI30]

No (whine inferred).

Hitler could care less about the U.S. they blamed the Jews that had so much influence in the banking industry for their economic woes. You seem to think the U.S. was viewed internationally as the same "powerhouse global policeman" superpower after 9/11 that the Germans expected should of come to their rescue. Calling yourself a student of history and actually cracking a book are two very different things.

[superlardbucket]

Hitler blamed the Jews, his people blamed England, Frace, and U.S.A because those were the major powers at the post-war convention that levied major fines against Germany. U.S.A was a bit better off because We actually wanted to help Germany, but if we hadn't entered when we did, Germany would've won. so it balanced out. And when did I imply the U.S. was some super-police?. I did mean to add anti-Brittish sentiment after anti-american and forgot if that's what you mean.

[suzieq0452]

You duimb fucks think the US won War I & II when you bastards didn't get in until the very end. Fucking jerks learn some WORLD History not the US version of Events. No wonder you ARROGANT bastards are so HATED in the WORLD,but I'll add it's Mostly You RepubliCONs that we HATE.

[superlardbucket]

That is not even what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the hard facts: After WWII, we (America, Brittain, etc.) basically left Germany in the shithole, which set the stage for WWII. I wasn't saying anything about how the US won this and saved this place and that place, or anything. Sorry if you're so racist you need any excuse to start shouting your head off.

[scj16]

This is a brillant framework of the platform of the anti-war movement reasons to withdrawl, and it is something the media does not talk about. The media has hijacked our soceity with manipulative lies about this war and have justified it-thanks for posting this!

[hend0815]

911 was an inside act to fight for oil and against the euro , which saddam in 2000 said he wants the euro as next currency oil is traded. Saudi Arabia and Iran want to change to euro too, so imagine what would happen to the dollar and US American economy ? It will send you back to stoneage, say goodbye to your SUVs smacktards

[BI30]

While "the powers that be" certainly took advantage of the events of 9/11 to push their agenda... and MAYBE even *deliberately* looked the other way rather than stop it from happening, the chance that they instigated it and pulled off the cover-up of the millennia is ZERO. Name ONE other thing this administration has done to suggest they are competent enough to pull of something so elaborate?

[SomeGuy234abc]

The fact that SO much Evidence has been left behind, and that so many contradictory statements, and flat out obvious lies have been sold to us, expresses that same incompetence you speak of. 9/11 was something that could only survive through the rallying of public opinion, so that the masses never SEE the truth...

[BI30]

Again, that is only evidence of "complicity", not "instigation".

[PROCLAIMEROFTRUTH]

Yea, I believe the news media has done a good job of destroying this countrty through their lies and decietful propaganda. I hope they get use to wearing a towel around their head.

[fionnoc]

hmmm american gets to decide who gets "weapons of mass destruction" yet they are the 1's who dropped the biggest bomb of all time. makes sense to me. the lesson to be learned from iraq is get nuclear as quick as u can, otherwise america might come and get u.

[m62flyover9]

hahahahahaha sad. Are you twelve?

[hardrider]

Barcroft, If i were you i wouldn't be spouting ANY support for the Bush (cough) admin, they are so obviously getting caught out with their lies and bullshit and the ship is sinking. Rats like you that were living of their crumbs should be abandoning ship,if you had half a brain that is.

[TodKarlson]

Odom needs to be recalled to active duty for his Courts Martial

[blade66609]

Ok, I gotta point this out. I'm sure that Odom gave good logic behind these claims, but the video does not. It basically says "If we withdraw, x will happen" vs "if we stay, x will/is happen(ing)." There is no internal logic on either side, and overall, was a waste of time.

[BarcroftNeely]

Please, first list your office and served number of terms as qualification for passing judgment on our president's decisions.

Points 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 just list Odom's opinion, and don't describe how Odom justifies them.

He's the perfect expert on Iraq. A RETIRED general.

Just because I reject this guy's argument I'm a neocon and don't know what "facetious" means? At least I can spell it.

[Hammalla]

First, my office is citizen...I've served my whole life in this position. If you're not passing judgement on our president you'd better be 6 years old, British, or you'd better not be voting.

Also, it's always retired generals that speak out moron. While you work for the governement, you make a promise not to speak out against them.

[SetembroCachorro]

Hammalla; What is your point? Where is rational? What was your SAT score?

[BarcroftNeely]

First, I want to see some backup for those middle couple of points.

Secondly, this guy is intelligence. That means he sits in a tent on the hill while the troops are fighting. What's his opinion to me? When they get a regular GI on this program, somebody who's getting shot at every day, I'd be more than happy to listen to him.

[BI30]

Please first describe your own rank, branch of service, and years of combat experience as qualification for passing judgement on the General's qualification to criticize.

[ThisGuysTrouble]

remarkable insight in pointing out that a military general has no idea what the troops are going through. (I am being facetitious...which somehow always has to be pointed out to the neocons.)

[Ancephalic]

"What's his opinion to me? " you are a fool and I agree. don't bitch about your pithy 3,000 when you killed 350,000. We lost 50,000 in Nam so what do you have to say about that? This General is much more qualified than a jackass like you.

[Viper1t]

right on the spot. he nailed that!

[Nemonia509]

priceless thanks for posting
