do you think we are winning or losing the war on terror? and why do you think that?

That may not have been the purpose, but as the battle proceed, soldiers know what they fight for.

The point is that our President promised us that the only reason he would send our troops to war is if it was a last resort. The cause of us getting rid of a tyrant was not a good purpose for us to go to war. WMD's and being attacked were the reason we went there, that's why we were granted permission to go fight. Well the facts are there are no WMD's and we were never attacked by Iraq. Our President realised this so he now says that Saddam was a threat to the world. When in fact, yes he was a threat, but not a HUGE threat for us to wage a bigger war on Iraq instead of on the people who attacked us in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I support our troops 100% (anti-war, pro-troops). When I was 6 - 16, I had plans of joining the military. I lived near the Naval base and would also think of joining because I believed that our Commander -in- Chief would only send us to war if it was a MUST. After seeing what has happened I feel terrible for all the troops who thought like me, and for all the troops who I know who are fighting. I don’t hate our troops one bit, because it is not their fault they have a President who has lied to everyone and doesn’t even acknowledge it.

They might know what they are fighting for, but that doesn’t change the fact that the war is pointless.
