Does getting rid of Saddam Hussain is worth of over 2350 Amercan lives and crippling over 6000 as well as killing over 50000 Iraqui citizens and crippling 100000?

we have an idiot in our white house that has no clue what he's doing. None of his "plan" is justifiable. Its a war for oil, not peace. A power hungry village idiot (Somewhere In Texas a Village is Missing It's Idiot, best bumper sticker i've seen about this cause) came up with the brilliant plan that we could dispose of WOMD in iraq. Which basically brings us to good and them to not. It was pointless from the point that we found no WOMD. Anyway, it proved to be damn near impossible so we turned it into a reformation mission. We tried to reform the government yadda yadda yadda. Well we went over there to find WOMD. We didnt. We found a guy in a hole. Big woo. So now there is absolutely no reason for us to be in iraq. We accomplished all the things bush set out in the beginning. Now its just ridiculous. We're over there fighting for some retarded cause that a texan oil junkie idiot decided we absolutely needed to work for. Jay Leno put it right when he said "We are now down to the final 4. I'm not talking about basketball, i'm talking about how many people still think george bush is doing a good job."

interesting question, bet you get abused.\n\nkilled the most innocent Bush 10, Saddam 9, OBL 6\ncorrupt; Saddam 10, Bush 7, OBL 0\nterror: OBL 10, Bush 9, Saddam 0\nliar: Saddam 10, Bush 8, OBL 0\nregime violence, Saddam 10, Bush 5 OBL n/a\nstupid Bush 10, saddam 2, OBL 0\ndangerous: Bush 10, OBL 5, Saddam 0\n\nthat gives a result of Bush 59/70, Saddam 41/70, OBL 21/70\n\nhowever, the figures represent answers to "loaded" questions. i don't really think OBL is a better person than Bush, but Bush is clearly more violent and dangerous.

I agree that the killing is going to escalate, not stop. Radical Islam has a hell of a lot more people than we do (never learned that from Nam I guessed) and they can wait forever. Also, now they have a martyr, not that he didn't deserve to be killed!\n\nQuite frankly, I am getting a distinct message that the President of Iraq does not like a lot of our behaviour and is trying to throw us out. Don't be surprised when there is no democracy in Iraq, and they become more militant than the ones we threw out. They have a big reason to hate us now!!\n\n"The more our Iraqi security forces, our police, our army, the more they grow in number, in training and are ready and able to perform and to protect our people, then the less we need of the multinational forces," al-Rubaie told CNN's "Late Edition."\n\nHe wants us out! Read between the lines if you are able!\n\nPlease quit with the FREEDOM BS!! We are there for OIL, not freedom!! Saddam WAS NEVER a threat to our freedom, I don't care what kind of spin you use!!! Freedom is the rights rationalization to get oil for the oil companies who pay next to nothing in taxes.\n\nCrude has gone down. Haven't seen any lowering of gas prices. Bunch of low life gougers!

He is guilty of mass murders.  He has lived the life of 10 rich men. He is an arrogant ass hole, he should be put down for the crimes against the Iraqi people.

Anybody with a functioning brain is opposed to the war in Iraq unless it's for personal profit. The deaths of thousands of innocent people count for nothing.\nBush has done the impossible , he has turned a bad situation under Saddam into a catastrophe for the whole world

Well, Meeko, It has turned out pretty well actually.  Sadam Hussein is sentenced to die for his crimes against humanity.  The Iraqi people have held an election and voted in their favorite leader. (By the way, When THEY went to the poll to vote, they literally were risking their lives.)   The infrastructure is coming along.  The police are getting trained.  Yes I do believe it has turned out quite nicely.\nWe have not been attacked again for a reason.  We showed  em in Iraq.

I suspect that this information will be hard to find.  If anybody began breaking out Iraqi civilian deaths by who they were killed by - the anti-war crowd would have to explain why they want to remove the people who are protecting the Iraqi civilians from terrorists and mass murderers.

Huge mistake is correct.  What could possibly be wise about the whole exercise?  Wise to put the shiites in power thus strengthening Iran?  Wise to kill 150,000 Iraqis?  Wise to put our soldiers in the middle of a civil war?  Is it wise to execute Saddam thus heightening the sectarian violence?  Nothing about it is wise.

That poll has been shot to death already, they asked 150 Sunni.  I am shocked that they didn't get 100% since the Sunni is Saddams people, 99% of the baathist party who lost power when we came in, no wonder they want us out.  BTW, they are also most of the insurgents and suicide killers in Iraq right now.

Absolutly not. And futhermore, increasing the omnipotent powers of the U.S through arms loans is not worth it either. Human lives are not worth it. Speaking of which, the lastest count on the number killed in the war in Iraq is horrible. But that number is infanitly smaller than the number of unreported deaths of Iraqi CIVILIANS. The U.S went to war to fight terrorism. This is hypocritical because the U.S supports and trains terrorists. Its used to be called the School of Americas and is now called Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation and its located in Fort Benning, Georgia. The school actually distributes manuals and textbooks on torture and violence. SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. These graduates have consistently used their skills to wage a war against their own people including the majority of the dictators of South America including Pinochet. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, “disappeared,” massacred, and forced into refugee by those trained at the School of Assassins.

right, the war was against Saddam Hussein and the ba'ath party, not against the people of Iraq. the whole point of it was to liberate them. second there was more than enough money in the Iraqi oil trust fund, but this was swallowed up by corrupt politicians and big corporations who took the money but didn't do the work. a lot of the insurgency is not political, it is a vendetta. a jumpy young soldier at a check point shoots up a car full of innocent people and you've got a whole family and clan taking revenge. the shia were cooperative in the beginning, but as time went by and there was no improvement, no regular electricity, no water, no sewage, no work. the hospitals closing down due to the lack of medicine and equipment. they got a tad annoyed with the Americans and British whose corporations were there to improve things but were actually just taking the cash. there was no al-qaeda there until the invasion as they saw Saddam as a heretic and he mercilessly crushed them. they came after the invasion and the break down in law and order. it is a good recruiting ground for them and they are financed by the Saudis who are terrified by the idea of a democratic shia state next door to them. we, the British and the Americans have to pay for the blundering manner which our governments chose to liberate the people of Iraq, so that millions of innocent people do not suffer. it is our fault we voted the cretins in

Did Alex B GED just claim that the GOP "solved a genocide" in Iraq in his post? I think the phrase is "created a genocide". Iraq officials now claim 150,000 Iraqis have been killed by insurgents. Gosh, the Iraqis must be SO thankful we are there!

Wow.  What do we need Sean Hannity for?  You liberals make fools of yourselves all on your own.  You feel SORRY for Saddam Hussein?  SADDAM HUSSEIN?  The heartless dictator?  Need I remind you of the thousands of innocent lives lost under Saddam's power?  HE KILLED HIS OWN PEOPLE.  He raided Kurdish villages with chemical weapons, killing both soldiers and townspeople, including women and CHILDREN.  And you feel sorry for him?  Because he's a "secularist" and he respected the rights of women?  First of all, secularism is not exactly a universally-renowned form of government.  Just because YOU like it doesn't mean it's good for a government (ever heard of a thing called Communism?).  And second, it's kind of hard to respect women's rights when you're KILLING THEM.  I think you need to re-examine your research, but in the mean time, check yourself into a decent mental health clinic, you sick freak.  Anyone who sympathizes for him is an outright MORON.

No, it was/is not!! \n$2,000,000,000,000.00 ....  count it 2 trillion!! 2 thousand billion dollars...\nfor GW to put a hit on the man who tried but failed to put a hit on his father .... \nSomehow,  2 trillion dollars for a family vendetta that also cost the lives thousands of US military men and women and maimed and ruined many thousands more, as well as causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of mostly civilian Iraqi women, children and men ... and destabilizing the entire Middle East seems a bit steep of a price to pay.  After all, they knew long before the start that there were no WMD's or programs to develop them.. So ... NO NO NO .. the bush family had no right to force the taxpayers of the US to pay for their mafia style vendetta....

ARE YOU INSANE???\n\nFirst, we MADE Saddam Hussein, if he was EVER a threat it is because WE CREATED HIM. Do YOU know why our government was so CONVINCED they would find WMD's (so named because our PRESIDENT cannot SAY the word NUCLEAR!)???? \n\nWHY???? \n\n\nBecause WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS!!!!!!\n\nSecond, you cannot BEGIN to compare Saddam Hussein to HITLER??? 6 MILLION people man... 6 MILLION in like 7 years or so.. MAX... You cannot begin compare GW BUSH to those people who put a stop to Hitler's madness... \n\nThat is just asinine!!! \n\nThousands of dead American SOLDIERS and Iraqis is NOT worth proving that the Bushes AREN'T WIMPS!! \n\nDO NOT kid yourself into thinking that any of this is ANYTHING ELSE!!!\n\nI will agree with you on one thing, The ENEMY may be ruthless.. but they were NOT OUR ENEMIES until WE MADE THEM SUCH!!!!\n\nLet us at least be honest and not continue to delude ourselves into thinking we are anything but imperialists with something to prove. \n\n\nIt is NOT WORTH THE LIVES OF OUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS!!!!

I don't get it, we have accomplished so much\n\n1.  Suddam hussain was removed from power\n\n2.  Iraqis now have many more freedoms\n     ------drive, dress how they want, go to school, watch tv, listen to the radio... and the list goes on\n\n3.  We have killed/imprisoned many terrorists in the middle east\n\n4.  the list goes on\n\nWe have done all this for a price of under 2400 great men that i have so much respect for.  We lost 58000 in vietnam and accomplished nothing.  In WWII over 16000000 were killed or wounded.  How come so many people supported that war.  And the people that don't support this war are the ones that think it is ok to kill hundreds of thousands of babies each year.  If anyone here can understand the liberal mind will you please explain it to me.
