They often miss that point and I'll add a few.


1. Its not the job of US men and women to free countries. The young men and women of Iraq should take ownership of there country

2. War's are fought under the name of freedom and peace, but wars are about the MONEY. Look back to WW1 until today and see who stood to gain from war.

3. Saddam was actually against terrorist. He hunted them down and killed them.

4. So why did we go into Iraq again? WMD/911, wait there on to us, lets use freedom, there is no way to back that word and they will eat it up.

Naw, it wasn't a mistake, it was a colossal blunder, a massive f up of massive proportions, a monumental stroke of stupidity, a disaster of unimagined proportions and a god damned waste 4503 brave lives (and that's just on our side).

Call me when you pick up a M4 and stand your post.

I'm sorry to here you didn't get a chance to serve. I didn't and I wouldn't have traded it for the world, but I have no problems with the Military. The problem is the how they are used. They are not used to keep America Free. They are used for the large corporations to get there way.

This war in Iraq is Jr.'s gift to his Daddy. The WMD was just a ploy to get us in there. Iraq did not cause 9/11. Iraq did not have WMD. Iraq was a mistake that has cost this country over 4,000 lives and billions of dollars.

I didn't bother opening the video.

Free to kill anyone you dont like, based on whether they are Sunni or Shia, and what neighborhood they get caught in. Free to arrest and interrogate anyone who you think is suspicious. Free to work for Blackwater and shoot indiscriminately and not be arrested for it. Free to privatize their oil and loot their resources. Free to come back to the U.S. as an injured veteran and be ignored by Veterans Affairs.

Iraq was a mistake, and Iraq is a mistake. And their are plenty of Iraq veterans who have said as much.
