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.

now, 9/11 had nothing to do with iraq according to intel if i'm not mistaken. and i completely supported the deployment of troops to afganistan. but what i'm not supporting is an unexplainable war which has not been a gain for us americans. we have been the ones that are sacrificing our hard earned money to support our troops to be in a country that never asked or needed us to be there in the first place. when we had countries like britian, australia, france and even spain supporting the us in iraq, it gave me a feeling of a world that unifying for the good of the lost souls from 9/11. but once they pulled back and realized something that our own chief of command can't seem to see, then it became a something that allowed him to be come a dictator. i for one, knew that there was something wrong with that man when elections started in 2000. when there was a recount in FL, none of the less, i knew that there is a conspiracy among that family and possibly more than we will ever know. and what scares me is the fact that our own media is turning a blind eye towards it. NOT TO MENTION A 2ND COUNT IN FL!!!! OMG, are you guys f*cking blind!! when will someone finally realize that maybe it's time we start snooping into their finances and their investments and see what is really going on with that family. that movie farenheit 9/11 got me so bad when it came out that i never believed a word that ever came out of that man's mouth even when i was in. i just did what i was told and kept sh*t to myself. but let me tell you, if i had one opportunity to sit down and be able to give him a piece of my mind, well, i would rather give him a slap and a punch in the face and force him to withdraw the troops.
