Typical approach of yours Glinda. Show a complete lack of understand of what you are talking about and then be condescending to others who actually understand concepts like "just because the troops are now in place doesn't mean that the 'surge' is over."

Sigh... you are just boring.

Yep, it was all for oil. You got us, game over, we're caught. Let's start a world court and try Bush for his crimes! Then we could dance around be glad that the nasty conservative man got what he deserved!

Sigh... what do you think about Saddam and his reign in Iraq, Glinda? Got any opinions on the rape rooms and mass graves? What about those families?

You didn't answer either. How utterly unsurprising.

We attacked them and won. We have a better system than they did. We have the right by everything that makes the world run to allow that system to take root there. Don't like it? Go protest or something.

Ahh so are you suggesting that anything less than zero deaths is acceptable? Do you live in reality? Are you aware of what occurred in Iraq before we got there? It wasn't exactly a bastion of peace and civil rights. I'm pretty sure someone with your beliefs would have been executed quickly or thrown in a rape room for Saddam's soldiers to play with.

Just avoiding war and getting out of there will be much worse for everyone involved in the long run, including the Iraqi populace. That's just common sense which is surprisingly uncommon, it seems.
