Iraq war
If we attacked Iraq to save lives here, then we went in for the wrong reason, we have now lost more lives there than we lost in the 9-11 attack on us. Not only have we lost close to 3,500 soldiers in Iraq, we have also had tens of thousands of our soldier wounded and mentally scarred and hundreds of billions of dollars wasted. That does not include the perhaps hundreds of thousands of families that have suffered physically and mentally because we made up some reason to go to war.
If we attacked Iraq for any reason related to oil then it was also for the wrong reason because our gas prices are now sky high. Could be that we attacked the wrong country. With the mentality that has existed in the White House here lately, all those people probably look alike in long gowns.
Perhaps our soldiers aren’t supposed to know who they are fighting. They have spent four years wondering around in the dessert accomplishing nothing but stepping on bombs and occasionally getting shot at. It just seems that after four years of failure someone in Washington, D.C. could have come with the idea that all those hundreds of thousands of soldiers would have looked mighty good and it would have been much safer policing our borders and assuring that no one could harm us. It is never too late, however, look at all the damage and the hurt that has been brought to us because soneone did not know his butt from a hole in the desert.
