Iraq and Syria: is it the same?

[BlindBoo]

The Iraq war has gone down in history as one of the most brilliantly prosecuted wars that was ever fought. Never before were objectives achieved so quickly with such little loss of life. The greatest loss of life occurred after obama was elected and changed the rules allowing the enemy to reconstitute.

The real difference between Iraq is Syria, is that there were clear objectives in Iraq. There were plans for after the war ended. There is no plan in Syria for anything.

Right, we brilliantly walked over that bombed out shell of a third world nation alright. Fucked up the occupation like the world has never seen but boy, the worlds finest military sure took over that heap in a hurry!

Remember how Iraq was going to rain free oil on us? Haha

Well there were these.....

"When it comes to reconstruction, before we turn to the American taxpayer, we will turn first to the resources of the Iraqi government and the international community."
Donald Rumsfeld
Secretary of Defense
March 27, 2003


"There is a lot of money to pay for this that doesn't have to be US taxpayer money, and it starts with the assets of the Iraqi people. We are talking about a country that can really finance its own reconstruction and relatively soon."
Paul Wolfowitz
Deputy Secretary of Defense
testifying before the defense subcommittee
of the House Appropriations Committee

Who Said the War Would Pay for Itself?...

1) are the WMDs used in Syria left-overs from Saddam? I think so. The truth will allways find a way to cone out
2) GWB got approval from congress and waited 18 months after telling Saddam in front of millions on TV it was coming if he did not comply with UN inspectors before invading and removing Saddam. What is the difference now except far more will be killed before the war will end
If we remove the Govt air force that fight is over and the rebels will win over time

Flashback: Chemical Weapons In Syria Include WMDs Shipped From Iraq | Weasel Zippers
It is amazing that all the lies about GWB now are coming full circle. take a look at the pictures of trucks leaving WMD sites and headed for Syria
I was a simple truth that now BHO has to face
You Libs have to be asking your selves how can this be happening? from no jobs, to record deficts to this (and BTW Obamacare is hurting the poor)

2. What did the weapon inspectors find. What was in Hans Blix's final report to the UN?

President Bush's snow job was all about frightening the sheep. Took him 18 months to lie his way into the greatest military strategic blunder in our countries history.

Ramble on

congress authorized and funded the Iraq fiasco. Bush could not have done it on his own. They are all responsible

ramble on

much like Viet Nam, the military was not allowed to win it. we lost viet nam and we will lose Iraq and Afghanistan.

Truman was the last US president with any balls.

read it for your self
Update 27 January 2003
hThe document indicates that 13,000 chemical bombs were dropped by the Iraqi Air Force between 1983 and 1988, while Iraq has declared that 19,500 bombs were consumed during this period. Thus, there is a discrepancy of 6,500 bombs. The amount of chemical agent in these bombs would be in the order of about 1,000 tonnes. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we must assume that these quantities are now unaccounted for.



The discovery of a number of 122 mm chemical rocket warheads in a bunker at a storage depot 170 km southwest of Baghdad was much publicized. This was a relatively new bunker and therefore the rockets must have been moved there in the past few years, at a time when Iraq should not have had such munitions. ere is a taste

It depends on what side you are
It is clear that Saddam was not being a good boy
it is amazing that only one side of the story was ever told
I really do not know how you libs live with such a world that is so one sided, full of 1/2-1/4 truths

It is simple
10-2002 congress said do the right thing or else
1/2003 Blix made it very clear Saddam was still playing games, games that had been going on for years
3/2003 those games came to an end

If we have proof in Syria, freaking show it..otherwise, stay the hell out. We can't even balance a budget of our own, take care of our own issues, much less fund another war. What happened to those innocent civilians seems absolutely tragic no doubt..but we cannot afford to be the worlds police anymore...let Russia and China handle the damn thing...

 

[velvtacheeze]

Yes, it is. Both countries are harmless to the US, even with nukes. Let's leave them alone. Haven't we learned anything from the failed Iraq War.

I'm really disappointed in Obama.

So like so many of us, the failed stimulus was a waste of 1 trillion dollars?
to date the war in afgahn is around 600 billion

throw in GM and the money we gave the UAW along with the Omnibus with the failed stimulus, we added about twice that in defict
look at who still owes us
Bailout List: Banks, Auto Companies, and More | Eye on the Bailout | ProPublica

GM was started under W
the UAW is dead without his spending tax payers wealth against the will of the people
but his loan was secure

the loan BHO gave never was
we bank rolled there only pay back and there IPO

A perfect example of how the Obama admin has conducted them selves

well, cheeze. we can go back further than that. Did we learn anything in Korea or Viet Nam? How about Kosovo?

Will we ever stop sending our kids off to be killed or blown apart for nothing? 58,000 dead in viet nam in Kennedy and Johnson's war for NOTHING.

WTF is wrong with us?

Without evil none of this would a problem
We need to go after our own oil and gas
We need to tell the rest ofd the world that we are through being the worlds cop
problem is they will not leave us alone and before you know it KABOOM

It is a no win situation
