The war against the sovereign nation of Iraq began on March 20, 2003, when George W. Bush, without a legal Declaration of War, preemptively invaded that country.

This was done in spite of the fact that Iraq had never attacked the United States or any American citizen, nor even threatened to attack the United States.

There was no link between the regime of Saddam Hussein and terrorist attacks against the United States or any other country.

There was no evidence to support the claims that Hussein had chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons, or that he was seeking these weapons, and in spite of the fact that all inspections of Iraqi facilities showed no signs of these weapons. In fact, the only time Hussein was ever known to have these weapons was during the 1980s when the United States sold them to him.

Furthermore, there was absolutely no logic to the idea that if he did have these that he would or could try to use them against the US.

Iraq was a pathetic, impoverished third world nation, with no navy, no air force, no WMDs, and an army that was 1/5 the size of the one that US smashed to pieces a decade earlier. Iraq was a mess. The US had bombed it throughout the 1990s for violating the "no-fly zones," and the economic sanctions against it killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people and did nothing to remove their dictator. The war was unbelievably one-sided. If Iraq was such a threat, why did it only take a month to conquer the entire country?

In the end, what the United States did was nothing more than a vast criminal act of a giant, insecure, belligerent, bullying superpower. With more than a million Iraqis dead and millions more fleeing the country, who can argue that it was "worth it" to them?

If the Sunni minority in Iraq had not stood up to the insurgency, and bit the bullet (literally) of being occupied by the US, and said "enough," the country would still be in chaos. And who knows how long this relative calm will last? Get out now!

  • the solution is to get Afganistan, Pakistan and Iraq together with Obama and have treaty that reads that they US will leave right now if there are no more attacks on the US again. If there are all 3 countries are going to be nuclear bombed. USAF Security Forces 2004 to 2008. If you were not in the military I don't give a shit about your negative opinion because you have not defended your country and I have.

  • Right. No one who is not in the military could ever possibly have anything important to say about US foreign policy. In fact, we should only let members of the military vote and run for office. We should just have a military dictatorship where people in the military tell us how it's going to be. Screw democracy.

    I am so tired of people pretending to be in the military on YouTube, as if it automatically made them right or something.

  • Are we forgetting 911. Attack a country that did nothing to ours. Come on you LIBERALS, get real this is reality and we must defend our freedom. Men an women are overseas voluntaraly, lets not make it seem like the are there for no reason. This war was declared to protect our freedom as well as others from Iraq and Irans backward views of this great country...They are a unch of extremists over there and they have to be stopped. LIBERAL VIDEO

  • Iraq didn't have anything to do with 9/11. Iraq posed no threat to the US, because they were a primitive, backward country with no weapons, and we're the greatest nation on earth. You can't wage a war to protect us from some other country's "views" of us, silly.

  • AMERICA....LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.............

  • Ron Paul 2012.

  • the insurgents are the modern day Nazi's, just without the smart leaders and well armed military. the terrorist use children to fight their battles, just like the Nazi's. the terrorist are cowards and stupid, just like the Nazi's. the terrorist run like cowards when they see an american or British uniform, just like the Nazi's. the terrorist are in a losing battle, just like the Nazi's. they may have ak's/nukes/rpg's/children with strapped bombs, but shit we still kick their asses everyday.

  • Also, Iran having nuclear capabilities is not something we want as an enemy towards them. They are extremists and will most likely do bad things with nuclear technology. The middle east is unrest right now and until a stable government is set in place (not a country run by shiites and military) Nuclear arms should remain absent from their possession.

  • dangerous just as the Nazis were during WWII. Truth is all the government is is a big gang. The Police, Senators, FBI, and CIA are just gangs. When they see competition they block it off, We dont like cuba we cut them off. We act in the same manner as gangs in the streets do. They fight for territory and if they dont like or favor another gang they kill them. Truth is its every man for himself out there. However,US is not being a bully, instead we are getting rid of a dangerous well funded org.

  • robdrums69-

    Bin Laden is from Saudi Arabia, but if you knew anything about history he lead al quada and other organizations to victory against the Soviets when they invaded Afghanistan. Bin laden then took much of his money and invested it in military training camps which soon then became terrorist training camps. He was until the day he died the biggest, most influential sponsor of al-quada. He was the icon, the brains and the financial supporter of the group. This organization is a very

  • @SlapShotRm8 -- why you think next stop is IRAN ?? it's not just for Nucleur War heads, I'm sure....

  • @SlapShotRm8 Yeah, and what better way to UN FUND them to steal the most prized possessions --- OIL is money - that's why they have a lot of money ... Bin Laden Group has LOTS O money, I'm sure... and it wouldn't be from making flip flops lol - This is not their religion making them do this... I don't believe anyway... --- yeah and the debt the US are in and spending on these wars - how do you think they were going to pay for that? increase your taxes? I doubt it .. think about it...

  • @SlapShotRm8 9/11 was not because we have a FREE country - its because they I am sure they are sick of the US coming to their land and taking something that isn't theres.. that's just my thoughts on it, but you will have to read up on this stuff to form your own opinion.. I'm entitled to mine thanks... and I think the US is being too much of a Bully - this is why I vote Ron PAUL ...stop the wars !!!

  • @SlapShotRm8 - I don't suck the anyones sack, I am educated and I know for a fact Bin Laden was and is, a saudi so why the hell would they look for him in Afghanistan when they were operating out of saudi arabia? It's called Dropping the ball and the US even said, that's what they did. They dropped the ball when trying to track down the Terrorists and Why do you think that is? they were too busy landing on OIL FIELDS - why do you think the Afghans started burning the shit when they got there?

  • @SlapShotRm8

    so please, before all you Liberal tree hugger peace makers out there wanna say "ITS THE OIL WE ARE MURDERERS" take a second and realize how danerous and well funded Al--Quada is. It is their religion that drives them to do this types of hyaenas acts, it will never be stopped by winning the war in Iraq dismantled a huge part of their effort to plan further attacks. Get it right.

  • @robdrums69

    With all do respect, Please stop sucking the Medias Sack. People who believe that we are in Irag and the middle east for their oil are insane. Are you forgetting about the plot Al-Quada planned and executed on US as well as foreign soil. What did we do when Japan bombed Pear Harbor? We went to war. They are very dangerous people who killed thousands of innocent ives and will continue do due to in years to come. By killing Bin Laden the US made huge victory in preventing Terrorism!!

  • @littlebier8 If you don't like democracy go to your favorite country. Because this is a country that has the foundation of exactly that. Go try and save the world on you tube videos! walk straight up to the terrorists and say look at this video i put on you tube this will change your mind. Until you part the red sea don't think for a second the terrorists are going to stop. And that is exactly why we are not going to stop either.

  • By the way littlebeiber Bush Went to war with out legal declaration of war? He is commander in chief if he says we go to war then we go to war... very simple. Just like Obama Striking Lybia in military action. The president has the say.

  • @cclick75 its ALL about the money !1

  • @THATW3IRDKID I seem to recall them finding lots of WMD didn't they ?? LOL =- yeah exactly! ... - Let me know when IRAQ is allowed to come in to the USA and look for their WMD ????

  • @SlapShotRm8 Tell me why the US always happens to go to war where there is OIL? answer me that? .. 8 years in afghan did shit! for our freedoms - if anything, they pissed them off more... Ron Paul was right when he said that back in 2002 ... and you wait and see.... I don't think this shit is anywhere close to giving us more freedoms . - I think it gave us less..

  • @THATW3IRDKID Sadly that's so true haha.

  • @THATW3IRDKID i thought i was the only one who knew that

  • @1MarioTheMartian1 cause thats a second to last resort.
