You guys are aware that Taliban ruled Afghanistan sheltered the people who attacked us on 9/11/2001 right?
Americans have turned into such ******* and babies. God help us if we ever have to fight a major war where entire battalions are wiped out in a single day's fighting. We should be thankful the casaulty counts are negligible compared to what they would be in a war against a nation that possesses actual armed forces. Iraq and Afghanistan are training exercises compared to what will happen when we eventually have to fight the Chinese.
You do realize that if our central intelligence had their act together and we had airport security measures in place,
9/11 would have never happened. Try a lock on the
cockpit doors. Airline hijacking was not invented on 9/11.
Approved executions, acts of torture and rape.
Public beheadings of women who were accuse of prostitution and took place in front of family members including children. The heads of the women were publicly displayed near signs reading 'For the honor of Iraq.' 130 women were reportedly killed in this manner, but the estimation is probably higher.
Children (reported as young as 5) were subjected to military training which included cruelty to animals. If the parents objected they were executed and the children imprisoned.
The Iraq citizens were restricted from voting and 8% of members of Arab Ba' ath Party could vote leaving the citizens unable to vote in another government.
The Iraq citizens were not allowed to assemble unless it was to express support for their government. The Iraqi government controlled the establishment of political parties regulated by internal affairs which monitored their activities.
Check points prevented citizens from traveling abroad without government permission (expensive). They had to post collateral and Iraqi women could not travel without a male companion.
Halabja poison gas attack occurred March 15 - 19, 1988 and Hussein began his extermination against the Kurdish people living in Northern Iraq. There were at least 50,000 - 100,000 people killed, many were women and children.
Experimentation's of different gases on civilians.
ANd that's just a tiny part of what a monster this man was. His family was pretty bad, too. I guess the soccer players were better off with his brother (in charge of youth sports) who imprisoned them and/or tortured them when they lost games.
These never ending wars are a direct result of decades of wrongheaded interventionist foreign policy. I guess you need to be reminded that al-CIA-da were our surrogates when they were fighting the Russians in Afghanistan and the Serbs in Bosnia.

Obama does not run anything. He is just a figure. He sits there with the title while the Generals and the banksters are running the country.
The USA helped to create Saddam. Willingly. Eagerly. Why didn't they nip him in the bud willingly, and early on ? WAIT ! he was useful !!! yes..that's it. Ten four good buddy. I have no sympathy for Saddam, but the lies told by my so called leaders to "justify" invading Iraq were a lot more sinister, because our "dear" leaders will feel free to use the same methods to attack anyone, any time, and any place.

we can't pull out soon enough.!!! some countries need a tyrant to keep the crazys in check. sadam was doing a dam good job till we came along
I doubt any time soon we will leave Afganistan, since valuable minerals have been discovered. My son is slated to be there pretty soon too, and I am not really happy about that. I think he will be ok, and anyone with him will be as well, but we don't really have any business there not based on Greed and Power.
I am a hawk and think we need to get our boys back home. We did what we needed in Iraq. We confiscated WMD's as chemical agewents outside international law and below weapons grade 'yellow cake' that could be refined to be weapsons grade, but Canada has it and will run power plants with that now. Anyone can search yellow cake, so no big need to state what it is.

No, that's 'cut an run". Those bad guys will follow us home. An American is not afraid of war. War is good. War can even be fun. We should look around for other countries to invade.
