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?

Contrary to Bush's perspective, we are not the world police.

We have so many problems in our own country, and we should be focusing on them now. This war is one of the reasons our economy is so bad.

Why are we spending billions of dollars to blow up Iraq and then put it back together again, when there are millions of people in America who don't even have homes?

If we directed all of the money we're spending in Iraq on the homeless here, we wouldn't have half as many homeless people anymore.

Or, if you're a cynical tard who thinks most homeless people chose to be homeless, we can direct our money towards making our schools suck less. Being the most prosperous nation in the world and being, what, 17th in education is pretty awful.

Or if we could stop bullshitting each other into believing that this democracy erm... capitalism is good, we would realize we're only f**kin our selves. Capitalism is only meant for the rich by exploiting the poor til their death.

Introduce socialist-democracy, then we'll fix health care, education, classism would be abolished, and finally our well being as Americans would be far better than any other nation. THEN we can work on all our homelands that we've been exploiting the shit out of for the last what? 500-600 years?
