Are you serious?

Hmm, let's see - one region has tremendous natural resources, is unstable AND borders a sworn ENEMY, while another ... is just there.

How does this confuse you exactly?

Liberals LOVE to pretend that they are all about being thoughtful, but in the end, they can only judge the current so-called "wars" on that it would be better to seek revenge than a strategic foothold.

Hilarious.

So cut the verbose fat away, and what your really saying is we went there for the oil. Yeah i suppose, though i don't like that idea. Again, all this **** started because of 911 (go go overused acronyms). Since then its been plainly obvious to the average american we have a little terrorist problem. One major root of the problem is Osama Bin Laden who finances and organizes alot of this, and was the one who was ultimately responsible for all the deaths that occured. Justice should be served.

That raghead, doesn't live in Iraq. Iraq, aside from oil, means two ****s to us. Infact, removing Saddam has arguably destabalized the region. If anyone would be a problem, it would be Iran. Iraq was a known factor, we could deal with them. By taking down saddam and his government, we did Iran a huge favor.

Afghanistan should have remained the focus until we got Osama, and we should have been using any and all means neccessary to nab him. Unfortunatly, focusing on it ,now, as skybird said, is too little, too late.

Oh, by the way, im not liberal, but since were making assumptions here, im guessing your some neocon. Neocons crack me the hell up. They're so quick to want our nation to go to war, and yet so many of them are either UNWILLING or DO NOTHING to support it except wave the flag around like a god damn set of pom poms at a high school football game. My loathing of these people defies description. All talk, and no walk. How many neocon's you see enlisting these days? That's what id like to know.
