Story Highlights
-President Bush says victory in Iraq necessary to demonstrate U.S. resolve
-Bush says removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision
-Bush marks the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war with a speech at Pentagon
-The president praises the so-called surge of U.S. troops in Iraq

Hmmm.

Two Pennies:
At this point in the game, we must see this fight through. The accrued debt, the lives at stake, and the foundation built in Iraq prohibit the U.S. from pulling troops out of Middle Eastern hostile zones. I never supported the war in Iraq from a political standpoint because the motives were just too unclear. Pardon my wording, but now, I'm just balls deep in this bitch and I don't have a choice.

Thoughts?

I don't know. I think they underestimate the general public (don't get me wrong, I think most are idiots too). The price of crude oil dropped pretty significantly today, like $10. It's almost sub 100 again.

but what is the explanation for the price of it being so high?

Yeah... I think there's more to it that they're not telling us, not to be a conspiracy nut.

no i agree. no one can seem to narrow it down to one substantial "excuse" as to why Americans are paying so much money for gas. it's bad enough that a gallon of milk is just as much. at our nearest Wal-mart, it's almost $4.

my biggest pet peeve about this whole war is that there never was just one agenda. what's the reason for the war this year? because i'm confused. every year it's something different. weapons of mass destruction, oil, saddam, terrorists, the iraqis need us. now for 2008 it's because we've invested so much money in it that we're in over our heads. hmm, if only we did like powell, quit before it got stupid.

That's true that we have random and multiple agendas (which become confusing) and the sad part is because of the investment, and the time spent there; they don't want to pull out. Because it would look like it was nothin but a cheap way to get rid of the old twin towers, replace them, and make huge profits from oil, while screwing not only the middle east by colonizing them but also the Americans =\

Capitalism.... Ermmm imperialism at its best.
