the iraqi war i believe was for noble intentions; people also forget that saddam broke all the u.n. resolutions and (an act of war) fired upon our planes, daily, in the no fly zone. if the war was over oil why has gas prices sky rocketed? if we're such imperialists shouldn't "our oil" be cheaper?
the gulf war didn't end. like the korean war, it was a cease fire upon strict guildlines.
saddam broke those in addition to the wmd issue.
islamo-fascists are fighting a centuries old war and they don't hate us because we're occupiers. they hate us and (other muslims) because we're different. period.
that mega mosque? why does it have to be smack dab on ground zero? on the sight where a building with (reportedly) a chunk of a plane now stands? and why open on 9/11?
freakin wake up.
i just had to vent and hate adding to this type of chatter.
bobby, thanks for bringing this back to the spirit of things. your father in law's tale, and you telling it here, is very much appreciated. thank you and god bless the both of you.
edit: i should add that i appreciate not only all the war stories people contribute (personal and otherwise) but those who have stories but cannot be here to tell them.
my deepest respect. we could not be on this forum spouting off if not for their service in the interest of liberty.
