Debate:Is the Iraq War a success? (view source)
Revision as of 21:19, May 6, 2008
, 21:19, May 6, 2008→No
We lose dozens of troops a month, there are bombings every day, over 60,000 Iraqi civilians are dead, a brutal dictator has been replaced by fantatical warring factions, and nothing seems to be changing (we've lost a higher percentace of US troops in 2007 than in any other year since the invasion (www.icasualties.org)). The rebuilding of the infastructure has failed, the US military is stretched to the limits, and it's unpopular at home (www.pollingreport.com). I say bring the boys (and girls) home!

This is from your site, and since this year is going to be the 'worst' iraqi year yet, how come it's so much better? just because something isn't popular doesn't mean it's not right. Maybe some of those people should do some research before they start voicing ignorant opinions like yours. --[[User:theLeak|theLeak]] 16:18, 6 May 2008
:It was never going to be a successful war. I doubt even calling it a war. The US is a utter failure when it comes to nation building. Always remember that a government never goes to war for the reasons that they state. "Liberating the people of Iraq" is just a philanthropy. There are more '''real''' reasons to go to war with Iraq. A US controlled Iraq provides a stable source of oil for the US and more importantly, can act as a valuable staging point for a bigger war with Iran. Its much easier to keep the supply lines from Iraq to Iran than from the US to Iran.--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 12:12, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
