    I thought sarcastic threads looking to intice arguments arent allowed. I only say this because some have been closed that were very similar.

    What the hell are you talking about?!
    Do you even know why Bush started the war? Because of oil! And that's the only reason, no suspicious uranium thoughts....
    That war is NOT success and it is NOT justified!

    this isnt sarcasm... i am just trying to point ou tthat we as americans are not looking outside of the box on this...

    the war is/has/and will continue to be a major success for the ones that wanted it in the first place...

    this war is even more succesful than originaly planned by it's architects... the militray industrial complex and the energy industry see it as a major success... they are reaping record profits off of this war... meanwhile, we argue about gay rights, pedophile politicians andpartisan bickering... all the while we assume this war has been a disaster... it is not a disaster in the eyes of the war profiteers that are loving every second of it...

    just ask the CEO's and shareholders of Exxon, BP, halibutron, northrup grumman, boeing, bechtel, etc, etc, etc how this war is going... to them it is a great success, and it apperas as though they are the only ones that count in this country?

    and judging by the reactions my thread initially got, this wont stop anytime soon until the american public realizes that this is truly a success fo those who wanted this war initially, the elite corporate interests

    Dude.. nevermind. Keep living the fantasy. You know what they say "ignorance is bliss".

    Jlew is an anti-conspiracy theorist. He makes up conspiracy theories and then tries to shoot them down. It really doesn't matter to him if anyone actually believes those stories.

    That's common, a lot of people simply laugh when they feel backed into a corner or can't think of anything else to say. So, go ahead and laugh, it just tells me you have nothing to say.

    Did Sadaam train them? Were the terrorist training camps located in Iraq? No.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    and? whats your point. we went to war with Iraq based on false intelligence about WMD's. then el queda in iraq moved in so we fought them. the war only became part of the war on terror after the invasion. little do people realize that I am against the war in Iraq. I am for attacking and killing the people responsible for 9/11. they went into Iraq. so kill em. they appear to be mostly gone, so now its time to fix what we fucked up, and go.

    So you're saying that there's no popular insurgency in Iraq, and that we are now simply fighting Al Queda there? How convenient.

    We had the chance to take out al-qaida right after 9-11 with our invasion of Afghanistan. However, the gov't took too long to get into place and allowed OBL to escape along with a lot of the leaders of al-qaida. Then, the administration, still obsessed with Iraq, decided to go and attack Iraq. Thus, pissing off all the muslim radicalists in the area. This brought the war on terror to Iraq since it was so easy for terrorists to kill Americans so close to home. They're still attacking. War = no success.
