McCain defends position of troops in Iraq for 100 years

[eliteforce]

of any war ever, that costs 8 billion a year (adjusted for inflation/economy size more expensive than Vietnam) and the highest injury rate ever due to very good armour and body armour..it's still a massive quagmire, no-one can deny this..

BTW nice to see you again logan

I see a country that no longer is subjected to mass killings by a sadistic dictator, a country that has been on the brink of civil war for hundreds of years which has nothing to do with us, and I see one of the lowest soldier casualty rates of any war...ever.

America's economy is in no way faltering with a unemployment rate under 4% and a GPA that is competitive on the global level. The only people profiting are independent contractors, which don't serve to help our economy at all. Oh and before you tell me how Bush invited all his contractor friends over to Iraq maybe you should ask yourself why the hell the president would have thousands of friends in the private contracting business.

If you need further enlightenment perhaps you should ask some soldiers and marines what it was like 4 years ago and what it is now.

Hypocritical. 1,000,000 people killed in Rawanda. I will continue to cite this example. Why have we not intervened to save those people and give them the wonderful gift of Democracy? Half of the worlds countries are under some form of Totalitarian rule or Dictatorship. I dont see mass military campaigns to free those people, do you? Absolutely no link between Iraq and Al-Qaeda ever proven, infact it was disproven. No WMDs found within the country.

You can continue to try and fight a silly argument, but until you address the ROOT of the problem, which is flawed and inflammatory US foreign policy, you will never solve anything.

When diamonds become more valuable than oil maybe THEN we'll see the people of Rwanda freed from tyranny...

Kuwait worked, after the 1st gulf war.
Kosovo worked.
Bosnia worked
Iraq is gonna work, Afghanistan maybe too.

Somalia did not work
Rwanda.. not sure the details there, but we havent had much success in africa.

But Africa has their own version of the U.N and they try and deal with local conflicts.

I'm sure we give that organization plenty of foreign aid to try and help stablize the region and bring democracy to Africa.

You just changed the argument from 1) whether or not Iraq has gotten better since the USA has been there to 2)whether or not America was justified in entering Iraq.

I don't think we should have gone in the way we did or even at all, but the fact is that it happened and there are positive results because of it.

If you are going to disprove me, stick to the argument at hand.
