1. We are so loved in Iraq...
....the president still has to sneak in the country! I wish someone would ask Dumbya why, if as he claims, Iraq is such a success, why does he have to sneak into the country?

3. Gratitude? Are you effing kidding?
Our unprovoked war killed a million or so civilians, and left millions of others homeless refugees. We tortured and humiliated innocent civilians, including women and children, at Abu Ghraib.

We demolished what little infrastructure they had, so their day-to-day lives are worse than what they were under Saddam. At least under Saddam they had rules to survive by. Under *, it's survival of the thugliest.

7. I agree with you. But we also took down a murderer.. let's not
forget Saddam killed his own people and used chemical weapon to do it. They lived in fear under Saddam. I accept the fact they should hate us and hate Bush because we invade it their country under false pretense. We also killed innocent civilians and i am not excusing our actions, however, we did remove that one evil.

4. Yes we took out their dictator
who kept order and killed his political opponents and was an awful person and replaced it with total complete chaos where no one is safe. Brilliant move on our part.
