Huh, yeah, that was my first thought too...we have people right here who can use help, but we refuse it to "just give them handouts" because that would be "socialism"...yet we "should" want to have our loved ones go halfway across the world to die to improve somebody else's quality of life?
I mean...huh?
What a POST! Think I'll keep bumping it to the top until I get kickled out...
You nailed it!
Wonder how repubs view the giant handout, that big welfare check that went to the Iraqis???
Lets ask a Iraq citizen how they feel. They have the right to vote. They don't have a leader that expands violence against woman and children wrongly anymore. They don't have a leader that tortures and executes innocent people anymore. They don't have a leader that withdrawls food from families that did not let there children go to his regime, and put Iraqi's in unfair imprisionment.
Oh, my bad, lets go back to talking about how George Bush is satan and question how our proud men and woman must be feeling in wheelchairs.
Did you see 60 minutes tonight? Where were all those appreciative citizens? Seems to me they want us to go home like yesterday.

let's not forget the giant welfare system is also giving out money to war profiteers, military, war contractors, war equipment suppliers, and all the other handout jobs that depend on a useless war.
Who wrote those statements for them? Looks like good propaganda but still doesn't answer my question when reporters were just walking the streets and talking to people impromptu on 60 minutes.
You wouldn't be so smiling to be among those people.
And that hand writing so perfect, considering they don't use the Latin alphabet.
Right, I would much rather live in a place where I had no vote in who runs my country, and a place where I'd be killed if I weren't to be part of an evil regime. Right on!!!
Can somone please explain or share how the quality of their life in the U.S. has improved since "the surge is working" and the U.S. is now"winning the war" in Iraq? Not in terms of safety and security, because everyone has heard all of that. For example, are you paying less for gas, do you have more savings and investment money, residual income, educational savings for your children, etc. Since you are the ones who support the war, please tell the rest of America, how "winning" has made YOUR LIFE BETTER.

This is absolutely unbelieveable. A very simple question was asked about the improvement of the quality of your life since the war, and you come back with talking about how good life has become for the Iraqi citizens. Geesh.
