I am so sick and tired of hearing this BS that if we leave Iraq we are losing the war to Al Qaeda. So here is 10 reasons they are full of it!
First of all, this is technically not a war! A war has real motives. A war indicates danger and attacks. This was an invasion. There was never a danger. There was never an attack. Bush lied to further his own personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein. Cheney lied to further his own greed.
Secondly, Congress authorized troops to remove Saddam Hussein. The initial authorization to invade Iraq didn't say anything about Al Qaeda.
Third, they used similar rhetoric for years while thousands of men died over in Vietnam! It went like this: "if we left Vietnam the entire part of the world would collapse to communism!" IT NEVER HAPPENED!
Fourth -- Al Qaeda wants us in Iraq as targets and propaganda for their jihad. They taunt us with it!
Fifth -- We have accomplished everything we set out to do in Iraq including removing and executing Saddam Hussein, replacing the entire gov't with a new one, complete with a new constitution. THEY SAY, we still have work to do, but the TRUTH is that our troops are NOT training the Iraqi's. That all has ceased. BTW, why doesn't the MSM pick up this news and run with it?
6th -- In the areas in Iraq where the Iraqis have been allowed to set up their own police force and US forces have exited, the Iraqi's have managed to secure their own cities and eliminate the majority of the violence.
7th -- We are not fighting a war like World War II, Korea or even Vietnam. Our troops are not dying engaged in a fierce battle. They are dying by driving around and being blown up without ever seeing the enemy or hearing a shot fired.
8th -- We are wasting valuable resources both in money and in military forces and equipment over in Iraq. Iraq is a huge gaping hole of waste!
9th -- We have diminished our standing all over the world by staying in Iraq. The entire world sees this invasion as an attempt to steal Iraq's oil.
10th -- It is a total lie that if we don't defeat Al Qaeda over in Iraq, they will follow us home. Newsflash -- We can't defeat Al Qaeda, because they aren't only in Iraq, but they are all over the world. If we were really serious about this so-called "War on Terrorism" we would be doing everything possible to find their leaders.....AND WE ARE NOT DOING THAT! See, even Bushie Boy doesn't believe his own propaganda.
Congress needs to listen up! 70% of the people in the US want us out of Iraq. 70% of the people in Iraq want us out of Iraq. The ONLY ones who want us to stay are Bush, Cheney, other Bushie politicians, and Al Qaeda.
So let's stop the BS once and for all! Congress needs to pay attention to the people or be replaced in 2008! SAVE OUR TROOPS!
