these religious nuts in the middle east have been killing each other for over 600 years
for the same stupid reason. my god is better then your god
so the question still remains, why were you sent there and why did 4500 men and women
die to solve something that we can't solve. now that we have left they are doing what
they have always done, killing each other for the glory of their god.
do you know why. or don't you know jack sh it.
are you aware that cheney wanted the oil that was in iraq. there was no credible
evidence that sadam had nothing to to with 9/11, had no weapons of mass destructions,
was not trying to build an atomic bomb, or are you completely ignorant of what is going on
Screw it, I'll respond. 600 years? Try since the beginning of modern civilization. Brush up on your history. Something we can't solve? Perhaps. Lets look at other countries throughout time. Let's say....Britain. How did they succeed? They went in, kicked ass, and left an occupation force behind to ensure all gained would not be lost. The American government and people were not ready to make that commitment. Google ISIS for an example.
Secondly, I'm pretty tired of all this oil talk. But you brought it up, so let's have at it. If oil was the true agenda, why have our gas prices continued to rise exponentially since the turn of the century? Why do we continue to import oil from other countries (Saudi Arabia)? We shouldn't have to, right? Cause we took over the oil fields, right? And why did we leave them? Since the goal was to take them over, as you have more or less stated, and we did that, then why didn't we leave an occupational force behind to ensure our continued succession of these fields? Why is ISIS now in control of them? It appears that I am not the one lacking in knowledge. What say you of ignorance now?
