Quote by: Sue53  No, we did not win the war in Iraq. Saddam Hussein was hunted down, put on trial, then executed. Thousands upon thousands of ordinary Iraqis, who were living quite happily, were killed both during 'shock and awe' and in the fall-out of the West's invasion of a sovereign nation.
There was no Al Qaeda in Iraq prior to the invasion, and in fact, that society was secular. Eventually the the world's policeman (USA) will have to leave, but they achieved their aim. Nothing as noble as ridding the world of Saddam's mythical WMD...they just wanted his oil. The place is still a potential powder keg and many bombings that occur in market places etc are hardly ever reported now..well, they are only Iraqis, aren't they?
Bush and Blair should have been on the scaffold with Saddam. They have the blood of thousands, both civilian and military, on their hands.
Bush has taken a cushy retirement and Blair is on a holiday cruise with a wealthy business man ...he looked so tanned in the photo I saw the other day, sailing along, not a care in the world. And no justice in this world, either. |
If we did not win, why are we withdrawing troops? Should we then place defeat on the heads of Democrats, who are ordering this? Say yes.
Please do expliain about the happiness of the Iraqi before America, and her alliance of 26 other countries destroyed their lives? I am eager to learn of this.
