Iraqjm

=Iraq= The Monitor opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq. As long as United Nations inspectors were permitted to continue the search for alleged weapons of mass destruction, we argued, Saddam Hussein posed no security threat to the United States.Yeah right. How many lives have we lost because of terrorists opening their mouths and threatening us like him? Way too many that should never have happened but unfortunately did. Do they want to spill blood of loved ones of all races? Are they all psychotic and suicidal? Well I think they are for keeping this war up. Or is it possible that this fudge is over a misunderstanding? I don't know but it needs to stop right now before we lose anymore people in this battle. This whole problem is leaving so many children without fathers and mothers to care for and love them. I understand how sad it is to grow up without a father there for his child. That he will never be able to give his kid a smile or to see his child take his first steps. Leaving everyone he loved behind heartbroken and devistated. I understand this a lot. I have my own experiances with this, but to actually have to go through this when you have not even had the chance to live yet is absolutely soul sucking. The Iraq war alone has cost more than $700 billion, consumed some 4,400 American lives, caused nearly 40,000 American casualties, led to the death of an estimated 112,000 Iraqi civilians, diverted military resources from Afghanistan and driven up U.S. debt.The reduction in forces is consistent with an August 2011 withdrawal timetable set by Bush in a signed memorandum of understanding with the Iraqi government. That reduction, Obama conceded, is contingent on conditions on the ground, and it would be naive to think that the 2011 deadline will be met easily, if at all. Not to mention, if we ever have a total break down because of Obama and all the conflict he has created.
