Can't answer it huh?
You people can make all the excuses you want about Iraq, or the reasons we invaded, the FACT is, we did not win anything, we lost over 5 thousand American soldiers, damaged our international image beyond repair, spent ourselves into an almost unattainable level of debt, and pissed allllll over the United States Constitution.
What did we "win" in Iraq, CJ?
You spend a lot of time talking about 'what would have happened' or 'what might have happened' if we hadn't invaded, something which you have no idea about and could never possibly predict... unless you're back to your old 'CrackerDamus' ways again. This is not a valid argument to use when talking about supporting the Iraq war as you have no idea, I have no idea...it's a moot point to make, stop bringing it up, you have no clue what you're talking about.
And if you think Bush did such a great thing removing such a horrible dictator who was supposedly developing all these terrible weapons to unleash upon the world... what about Kim Jong Ill? What about Putin? What about all the atrocious shit that happens in Serbia and Bosnia and all over central Africa? Why isn't our government completely up in arms about all that? You know why... because none of those places INTEREST the American government. There is no strategic value to them. So our government will sit back and let any amount of people die for whatever random reasons around the world and you people have NOTHING to say about that, but then when they decide to actually invade a country and start an entire war based on AMERICAN INTERESTS, they feed you this crap about 'he had weapons', 'he was a baaad dictator', 'his people were being oppressed..', and you swallow it down with a smile on your face and like Tiny Tim, ask "please sir, may I have some more?"...
FACT is, this war has never been about the Iraqi people's interests. It's about what America wants, what America 'needs', and what almost everything else in this world always comes down to... money.
Iraq is the second largest oil producer in the world behind Saudi Arabia. Oil is one of the main factors involved in this war, to disregard that fact is retarded, of course the oil is important.
Top ten oil reserves by country;

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), "Iraq holds more than 112 billion barrels of oil - the world's second largest proven reserves."
While its proven oil reserves of 112 billion barrels ranks Iraq second in the work behind Saudi Arabia, EIA estimates that up to 90-percent of the county remains unexplored due to years of wars and sanctions. Unexplored regions of Iraq could yield an additional 100 billion barrels. Iraq's oil production costs are among the lowest in the world.
...yeah, they discovered the oil reserves right before the invasion of Kuwait.
You enjoyed killing people. Murderers, rapists, young, old, religious, atheist... we're all people. Just because your terrorist government tells you who to point your gun at doesn't make anyfucking thing right about it, you're still killing people. Some of it might have been justified, but I'm willing to bet not all of it was, which means you've probably killed innocent people with the mask of 'protecting Americans freedoms' covering your eyes.
It must be a mantra or something, these people are always talking about 'what would have happened' (had they not been there) or 'what might have happened', just like I told CD, none of that shit matters as you and I have no idea what 'might' have happened, speculation is pointless, it's moot, stop bringing it up. It would be like Kennedy saying he completely stopped WW3 because he got rid of the missile sites in Cuba... yeah, maybe he did, but hey...maybe he didn't, who the fuck knows, not you, not me... pointless shit.
Your 'band of brothers' way of life has nothing to do with the military buddy, that's all in your head and the US government uses it against you to manipulate you into thinking it can't be seen anywhere else. Open your eyes.
