Still think it was a good idea to go in there?:disgust

Uhmmmm.... I've read something about 1M Iraq deaths just yesterday.

very sad... War is SOOO 1940ish...

And the only question: WHAT FOR?

Not a thing

We're still there? :upsidedow

tell me about it....

i didn't send them to iraq

Bush will be tried for war crimes.

I just wonder how the US kids can watch Disney's Aladdin cartoon, play "Prince of Persia" and wish death to those evil Iraqi monsters that wanted to kill papa Bush and attacked NY Twins. That's out of my mind, really :disgust

And how about those US kids, who's fathers died while bringing the "freedom and democracy" to Iraq?

No he won't.

He won't. The USA don't support international tribunal for war criminals. I guess they have a SERIOUS reason for that :2 cents:

Clinton Years (5 years)-- 5119
Iraq War (5 years)-- 4,000
Batan Death March (one week)-- 10,000
Battle of Guadalcanal (186 days)-- 7,099
Battle of Guam (20 Days)-- 3,000
Operation Market Garden (9 days)-- 3,664
Battle of the Bulge (41 days)-- 19,276
Battle of Iwo Jima (39 days)-- 6,821
Battle of Pusan Perimeter (61 days-Korea)-- 6,706

And didnt Mccain say the war could last 100 years?

Waiting for Daddyhalltbucks or whatever his name is to step in here and say that the future will show how the Iraq war was just and necessary, and how W. Bush is a hero among men.

It's sad. Lots of Families are destroyed :(

Dont try and confuse the little kids on GFY with the facts..... it will just make them have a tantrum. :2 cents:

Those stats are incorrect.

Yup. I do.

I obtained them directly from the Congressional Research Service report to congress 2 weeks ago. You can find the original signed, approved and filed already in the congressional library database.

Heres the link to a copy http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL32492.pdf

You do all remember why it started at the 1st place, right?

That's easy for him to predict... he won't be around for the last 96 for anyone to tell him he was wrong.

(Okay crude joke, I know. But honestly, a presidential race will add a few years to your life and if elected, yikes.)

So in the last 5 years not other miltary deaths ocured except in iraq? since you are being a douche and including EVERY single militray death under Clinton.

Secondly don't include battles fom WWII or WWI( wars my grandfather and great grandfather fought in and were WORTH going to war over ) and compare that to this war. Not even fucking close. Want to compare it to something compare it to Viet Nam and other worhtless war were guys died for shit.

The U.S. Army is not killing its own soldiers or Iraqis, terrorists do.

I see your Army recruiting video and raise you Bomb Saddam video.

There are also many terrorists within the United States.

Wal-Mart receives bomb threats on a daily basis.

Yeah because 4000 lives + 30,000 difigured people is nothing over a period of 5 years.

Never mine the 90,000 + Iraqi Men, Women and Children too.

Then why did you leave out all the non-military deaths under Bush but added them in under Clinton?

Page 11 shows total death by year.

Clinton (8 years) - 7500
Bush (6 years) - 8792

2007 hasn't been released but it will be close to 2,000 (we had more deaths in Iraq than any previous year). By the end of Bush's term, the number will be close to 11,000 deaths.

That is a sharp increase of deaths, especially considering accidental military deaths were falling almost every year under Clinton as technology and safety got better. It will account to nearly 3,500 more deaths under Bush than Clinton. This doesn't include the nearly 30,000 wounded Americans and 600 amputees.

You included deaths by illness, suicide, and accident under Clinton, but not Bush. As I said, you misrepresented the facts. Your own data proves it.

How many of the 180,000 contractors have died?

Isn't it obvious why?

So someone who defends their land against an invasion is a terrorist? In any case the terrorist are the invaders.


And if you think sending ppl off to fight in a bullshit war started on false pretenses is not murder, then Im sorry to say you're wrong. And that's not even mentioning all the civilians you put in harms way, and killed.

Im not the one who did the comparison or came up with the numbers, the Congressional Research Service did.

As of June 2007, over 1,000 contractors have been killed, 12,000+ wounded.

He is saying that you didn't count the suicide, illness, and accidental deaths under Bush, but you did under Clinton. The CRS displayed the numbers factually, you are the one that didn't factually list the numbers under Bush.

The Soviet Union, the U.S. and Britain "invaded" continental Europe.

Iraq was liberated not invaded.

The U.S. Army has personnel in 150+ countries, military bases in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia....etc.

the real question is:

What are you guys gonna do about it?

Are you going to stand still in front of your computers or are you going to at least vote for whoever but McCain?

Liberating is awesome!

Here we go, another person comparing WWII to the war in Iraq, another person actually believing this war was about liberating ppl half a world away. It's amazing people think like you do.


I thought the war was about WMD? No, it was about the terrorist ties between Sadamm and Al Qaueda? Oh no, you're right, it was about the poor Iraqui people, made to suffer under a dictator installed by the US government?

Do you SERIOUSLY believe that bullshit about a war for freedom? For freedom for people's country who you are murdering everyday, who you also tortured? A fucking disgrace it what it is.
