    Can't speak for anyone else, but really don't give a shit what *any* politician in the US has to say on any subject. The track record has been a disaster for decades - so why trust it?

    As for "opinions", 70% of the population were in support of an invasion. Now 70% want to forget the invasion and get out. Again.. why bother with their opinions? They are too fickle.

    Only sympathy I got is with the people who suffered and died in this war - on both sides. Both Iraq and the US was be paying a price for a long time ahead now and internal politics of the US don't really matter.
    HOLY SHIT WE HAVE A WINNER!!! YOU FUCKING GOT MY POINT! Time to look for others to lead http://lp.org

    ps I dont like polls..... 90+% of the US didnt think we should stop hitler after he attacked France.

                        Most bash bush around here so I like to remind them what the other side says. I hate both sides becaue both of them are looking to turn the US into a controled welfare state and that is not good.

                                It's much the same in other countries - the political game seems to attract a certain type of creature. Rarely do any of them stand out or be an actual asset to a country - they just waste and squander public funds on half-baked projects then cancel them, - or create new projects and don't fund them, initiate wars or whatever and cover their self-interests *lol*

                                If that was a company - they'd prob end up in a jailcell for misuse of shareholder funds

                                Flipside.. and at another level - tho this may be more US than elsewhere - they abuse the electorate with diatribes of slanted bulllshit/propaganda intended to sway and decieve. (The effects of this are fairly clear just looking at GFY posts). This conduct is very divisory in any society and not helpful - but, it's just them covering their fat asses again

                                    well, 6 million people died in just the holocaust so 60k in people is nothing

                                        absolutely, but your talking reality

                                        this war is not a shared sacrifice, the sacrifice of life is being done by a different set of people than are the ones making the decisions about the war

                                        this is a stat that hits people where i think they feel it the most, it shows how much money each of them "sacrificed" for the war, although i bet most dont realize it

                                                More like 70% trusted what their government was telling them, which has proven to be disastrous, as they've lied, cheated and bent nearly every rule to accommodate their agenda. They misused the trust of the American people, and made them believe something they wouldn't have, had real honest facts been presented.

                                                        If 60k is "nothing" then wouldn't 3k be "less than nothing"?

                                                        Of course, you'd probably be mad as hell if you found out that those 60k people were killed by OJ.

                                                            i was suspicious and pissed when we invaded iraq. we were in Afghanistan hunting bin laden, 3 months before iraq was not even a topic, and i remember thinking wtf, were invading them now??? didnt make sense to me
