We're all aware of the fact they throw shoes at self-serving, lying American POTUS's. I guess that is how they show gratitude. Rummy told us it would be flowers and candy...another lying sack of crap.

BTW...the women are thrilled...

No, I'll base my opinion on the right wing talking heads that you obviously rely on for info. Right! If you gave a damn about the true condition of things, you would learn to "Google" and do the research yourself.

No one said that the people are not better off without Saddam, but do not infer that they are well off with the lesser of two evils. They were not "liberated" and I use the term loosley, for their sake, they were bystanders in the oil grab.

Suggestion, since the lame stream media never prints anything good about what good our military does, why not post a few links to show people whats really going on. I would do this, but I don't know where to find them or what to look for.

As usual, you don't know what you're talking about. You haven't a clue.

If the war was "all about oil", why aren't we getting any of it?

This not a thread about the integrity or capabilities of the enlisted man and women of the military. This is about the waste of treasury money and lives for oil that will benefit a powerful few.

(Shakes head) Anyone who knows me knows I was no fan of the Bush administration...but, gee whiz guys!

First, he gets blamed for going to war for Iraq's oil. Then, when we don't get that oil, he gets blamed for that too? Ya can't have it both ways!
