do you know what the above statement means? there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.
You are incorrect, per google the phrase mostly unique comes up with over 3 million hits making the use of the phrase not so unique. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

You are asking the wrong people. Ask the soldiers who are returning what real difference they saw. Ask the Kurds who are no longer living in fear of being gassed. Ask the Iraqi's who are just beginning to believe that they are free. What do a bunch of MSM voyeurs know about it?

Appeasers. Y'all are deaf. No matter how many times that is answered, you keep coming around re-asking, like you're in some kind of fugue state or infinite loop. Your own propaganda has finally destroyed your own minds (such as they were ).

The American people are the wrong ones to ask if they approve of an American war?

And to this thread: What was it worth to begin with?

I'm willing to bet that Iraq became the most unstable region in the world after the American invasion.

Perhaps, but the future will prove otherwise. It will be a puppet of the US, much like your avatar.
