Oh I know, but trust me oil wasn't exactly the furthest thing from their minds when they went to war. The WMD was the priority, but...two birds with one stone, y'know?

Exactly what I'm saying. We had reason to go there and help some people out, and we can help ourselves a little in the process.

As a side note, I hate it when people say "Bush lied so we could steal their oil". He didn't "lie" about anything, he just had faulty information. I'd say there's a difference between that and trying to decieve people. Bah, I'm tired. Bed

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]And my eyes are-a-opening. To be honest, I've just grown up a lot since "the day", and I've learned a lot. I was a stupid, uninformed naive kid who thought he had the world licked, much like a lot of the people I see here. I know now things aren't so concrete and I've learned a lot--mostly that the ability to learn is what makes humanity so great. It's a shame that most people refuse to use it, blinded by their own opinions or the opinions of their parents.[/QUOTE]

That's cool Yoshi. It shows you have the courage and wisdom to go back and re-evaluate your stance.

About Iraq, etc.: In times of war, the truth is always the first casualty. There were probably a lot of 'good' reasons besides the official ones.



That's a simplification, but I stick to my opinion that the evidence looks more fabricated than faulty. Let's just say it's not really relevant for this topic.

I've got dibs on emperor.

I see Yoshi has crapped up another thread.

Oh well. There's always the next war.

1) It's extremely relevant to your claim.

2) Things take time. It'll be 10 years to 20 years before we see the positive effects of this war. But once we do, trust me, our children will be grateful for it. It's too sad that might make Bush a good president in the publics' eyes in the long run, despite all the mistakes and wrongdoings he had in his presidency.[/QUOTE]

1) Are you kidding me? I was talking about a solder's responsibility, and then you respond with some thing about Iraq. Maybe I'm just stupid connect them for me.


2) Mabye so, mabye not. I tend to think it was just lack of homework on the WMD thing. I guess we'll find out.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi][/QUOTE]Witty and original!

I thought it was used and abused, albeit true.

All right this is going to continue ad infinitum.

Thread done.
