because the president didnt listen to the people that are telling him that this is a losing battle yesterday on the abc, cbs, and nbc news, a story appeared about how bush was told, by his own hand picked generals, that the war is going badly, and he immeditaly went in to a prees conference and said the exact oppisit. bush is a perenial liar he should be shot. republicans have no one else to blame for this fiasco but themselves

yes I agree. Why should we give a fuck about Iraq when no one country does and the UN didnt even stand behind us? oh wait I know the answer to this! it wasn't a war to find nuclear weapons Bush JR wanted to finish what Bush SR started. I know A LOT of soldigers in Iraq and they say its bullshit. They don't even know why they're over there anymore... thats reddikulas!!!! We shouldn't step in everytime a country isn't running the way we want them to. How would we like it if a country sent in their troops to us and said hey, we don't like the way your running your country, we're going to make you into a comminust country.... we wouldn't like it just like they don't like it. And give me an f-ing break saying this is a war on terriorism... if that is true why didn't we go for Osama (the PERSON freaking responsible for the attacks on USA) instead of invading Iraq for Bush to finish his daddys war! UGH I can go on and on hehe.

way to go for noticing.i will tell you exactly what is going on.this whole war is being orchestrated by the Saudis.it has been from the start.Bush was told there were no weapons but said he knew better and would attack with or without approval.so Saddam is out of power and there are no weapons so why are we still there and what reason do we have to keep prolonging it.the reason is as long as it continues the countries that were buying their oil from Iraq have to buy it from the Saudis.makes sense now don't it.this also the exact reason why Bush keeps coming up with excuses trying to get support to attack Syria and Iran.again for more Saudi profit.now there is no oil profit for the Saudis in N.Korea so Bush wants to handle this diplomatically.there is no other reason that makes sense why we would have to go to the Saudis to talk strategy before the President meets with the leader of Iraq.excellent job and question.can't wait to read all the answers to this one .especially the Republican supporters.

No. I think that this is something personal for Bush. It's a "I'm President now and I'm gonna get you back for trying to kill my dad" type thing. Also, we all know that there is plenty of oil over there. Well what is Bush's family biz? You guessed it, OIL. We did what we set out to do over there. We got Saddam out of power and we should've helped, not take over. I'm not a very political person , but this whole conflict and the deaths of so many people just makes me and I know alot of you wonder what is really going on

A couple of things for you to consider.\n\n1. Bush _was_ warned about 9/11. There are numerous different reports that were not followed up on, including one titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack in US". It would have been relatively easy to stop the attacks if the pres had paid attention to that. Not to mention, it's not the job of ordinary citizens to notify Bush of pending attacks. He's the president - you shouldn't expect people on Yahoo Answers to know more than the president.\n\n2. Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were in Afghanistan. Most of the US (myself included) supported going to war there. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, so saying that people who are against that war are weak on terror is disingenuous.\n\n3. Yes, we are at war, and yes, there are people fighting. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't protest the president's choice to go to war. People aren't protesting the soldiers, they're protesting the administration. That's not only an American right, it's a responsibility.\n\n4. Even if Iraq was the right war to fight, it hasn't been fought in the right manner. Good intentions don't go very far, sorry.\n\nInstead of telling people to shut up, why don't you try researching the actual facts of what's going on with this war and this president? Stop hiding behind the Fox News "terrorists are going to attack us" thing and think for yourself.

I support Bush; I'm not so sure about the war. I think he's worrying too much what critics are thinking about what's going on and not going full force.

Okay I can't speak for Bush and I don't agree with the war but the reason people are dying in iraq is because the american soilders just want to get home alive so they shoot first and ask question second..Its not just iraqis dying over there you know.\nI'm pretty sure most american value lives over oil but then again we don't really control our country big buisness do..

I think you mean Bush does not want the Iraqis to be united in order to control them. This is right, but USA should not be blamed Iraq is made of two major ethnic groups and two major relgious groups and already divided.

none.\n\nBush: US is a democratic nation!\nBush: You Iraqis bombed our World Trade Center. I'll fight you back! Ha! I found WMD in Iraq...War on Iraq!!!\nIraqis: No fair! We don't have any WMD! Get out of our country! \nBush: No, we help you get rid of Samdam...(and we [Bush] get more oil, hehe...)\nAmerican soliders: captured some Iraqis. look at all these "cute" pictures of Iraqis... hahaha...\n\n\nBush: You 'Iraqis,' I think you're terrorists, go to Guantanamo.\nIraqis: No fair! We want a fair trial in the US or an Internation court! We want lawyers speak our languages...\nBush: Nahnahnah, you all terrorists... we're gonna give you a death sentence.\n\nThat's democratic... and our soliders "did teach" them how to be democratic...

I think we can all savely conclude that Bush is going to do whatever he wants to do no matter WHO speaks out in opposition.\n\nLast year, many CIA and military generals spoke out on the fact they personally told him there were no WMDs in Iraq. Did anybody care? Did it affect Bush? No\n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/view/

I think that they are so out of touch, they dont know. Bush thought the war would be over in a flash, and was wuick to declare it to be so.

depends on the person. i am against the war completely, but some of my friends are for it. A few of my best friends are Marines and one of them is in Iraq right now.  We all agree that we disagree with the war and some of the President's decisions, but that does not affect our relationship at all. They respect my views as I respect theirs, and I definately have respect for all of our troops overseas.

he's the president but whatever he decides has to be passed by congress. like him declaring war had to be passed by congress.  \n\ni do not believe in this war with iraq but i suport the soldiers there.

YOU are correct..bush...like his father, is a war-monger!  Bush thinks he is above the law, he has forgotten that it was american citizens (59 million jackasses that is) who put him there...oh, wait a minute....Jeb Bush helped put him there...that's right!  Anyway...Bush has no conscience, no idea what a front line is like...the horrorr of war, the physical and psychological consequences our soldiers will have to endure long after leaving IRAQ...IT's all about MONEY!!!!!!!!!! (OIL=Money).  Therefore American lives are not important...they weren't important to him in New Orleans, and they are not important to him in IRAQ!

I prefer to think our war is over and we are providing security while Iraq establishes its democratic government.  I think that has become our role.\n\nLiberals prefer to call it "Bush's war in Iraq," which strikes me as pure terrorist propaganda.\n\nEither way, we are likely to be there a while.
