1. No. Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror.
it is also a colossal waste of tax money, and a horrible waste of human lives.

3. Since we invaded Iraq
S.H. has not been able to hit us with Chemical Weapons on 45 minutes notice.

10. There's no fucking reason to invade a sovereign nation, that NEVER
Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 05:24 PM by Zinfandel
attacked nor threated us...Iraq had NO weapons to defend themselves. No Navy, No air force...and yet the huge, gigantic, monster, hi-tech, super power USA invades anyway and is now stealing Iraqi oil!

Who's getting rich in Iraq from our tax dollars?

Is Halliburton & Cheney making billions of dollars? Is Bethel, General Electric, Carlyle Group, Oil companies, weapons makers, are they all making billions off this war?

YES!!!

That is why we illegally invaded.

Anyone who would foolishly say we should of illegally invaded as we did is either too stupid to do their own research or is a hopeless stooge, who believes any lie Bush, Limbaugh and Fox news, etc. tells them to believe.

I love my America...These clowns hate it and want to bring it to its knees, all for more power and insatiable greed, as they wrap themselves in the flag and point the finger at anyone who says the truth is unpatriotic, all for their sick selfish greed...

Who's getting rich off this war?

8. You've got to be kidding
How can you even ASK?

The America I grew up in would NEVER invade another country without provacation.

Of course lots of things have changed since then.

9. Hell NO!
In the lead-up propaganda to this war, my husband and I had several huge fights about it. We work in the same school, so of course ride together, and I'll tell you, we had numerous unpleasant exchanges, including him accusing me of being in love with Saddam! If we hadn't been in the middle of a 4-lane hi-way, I would havfe smacked him!

He's a republican who hates *. His father, who I never knew-he died in 1988 before we knew each other, was the Karl Rove of the time. I don't want to go off topic here, but I've got some interesting stories to tell about my MIL who knows the Bushes, and my SIL who saw * at repuke headquarters in Pittsburgh when he was supposed to be in the TANG.

Later...

11. 94% NON with 79 votes...
I don't think it would be a stretch to say that DU is decidedly anti-war. :)
