The war supporters. What are our troops dying for?

Recommended Posts

According to the US government. There was no WMD. There is no link between Sadam Hussain and OBL.
Terrorist activity has increased since our troops invaded.


So if you support the war I ask you this what are the troops dying for? Not to mention the many that come back permanently injured.

I am confused as how could any one support the war in Iraq and would like some prespective.
There is many thing that I don’t agree on with people but I can see some of there points or why they feel the way they do. Supporting the war is not one of them.

Thank you

I suppor the war less and think it was a wrong idea to go for Iraq, (syria or Iran are just as fair game) in hindsight, as ive said rpeviousely before. But i still support the war - Bush stood up to the terrorisrts and didnt cave in.

I respect that,

Moreover, and this is a selfish thing agreed, if we have to fight the terrorists, i rather it be done there than say on the US or Uk homesoil.
As saddam supported terrorists and funded them, then well his time has come then IMHO.

The Fundamentalistg side of Islam is causing problems now, not the moderate side, thats fine, but the view of despising the west is damaging.

And personally I would liked to see it stamped for good, and harshly done with it. If terrorists in Iraq, cant see that, then let them dieinstead of blowing us up.

Regards to troops, it is extremely trajic that any civilian or troop is killed, and the losses are horrendous. Bush obviosely believes it is necessary sacrifice.

myself, ill keep that to myself. Don't wanna casue trouble as it is such a sensitive issue.

I think people should really think and talk about it.
If you really care about the troops and there families then there should be no uncertainty in the answer you should be able to say why you are sending young men and woman in harms way.

By you I don’t mean you I mean people making the decision to start a war.

"why send them"

because it is a necessary sacrificc IMHO in order to contain the terrorist threat -although half the war is probably covert and political, this is a way of stopping funding from a source, and a chance tro eliminate any supporters of the terrorists who are prepared to fight for them.

The terrorist are cowards- they have to use bombs and boobie traps - thats why they are so hard to find - a guy dressed as a civilian in a busy place is hard to see.

even if it means napalming thm to hell, so be it.

The reasons there are probably more casualties ? terorists use bombers and are cowards. If on in a head on fight with the allies, they wouldn't stand a chance of inflicting many casulaties as has been demonstrated.

Personally, i hope the fuckers rot in hell for they have done, and I would hope every oppurtunity is used to go and remove them for good.

Although removing it is impossible i guess, containing it is managable.

Just about.:|

Why are thousands murdered every year in the US... but we still bring those who have committed the crime to justice.

Why are 10's of thousands killed every year in the US by drunk drivers... but we bring those who are responsible to justice when caught.

Why are thousands of women beaten by their husbands or boyfriends and many even dying from they're injuries every year in the US... but we bring those responsible to justice.

Why do more than 90% of the military and their families support this war in Iraq, after all they are the ones laying it on the line, because they believe in the cause of justice and the value of freedom, not only for themselves but those they are trying to help win they're freedom.

When someone is being beat up or a women being sexually assaulted, (just two examples) it nice to know there are those willing to place themselves in harms way to stop the act of violence.

So why are we in this war...hopefully to kill many if not all the terrorist and those who support them.

Before the invasion, I didn't support the war.

I didn't believe there were terrorists in Iraq, and I didn't believe that Sadam had WMDs.

Now though, well - now there ARE terrorists in Iraq, to the degree that Iraq is really the new Afghanistan. Iraq is now the worldwide center of terrorism.

Once the Iraq terrorists tire of blowing up Iraqis, they'll start blowing up westerners. Terrorists in Iraq must be dealt with.

Invading Iraq was one of the stupidest moves America has done in decades. However, the instant they invaded Iraq I became a supporter of the war. America can not leave Iraq until Iraq is safe and stable.

In a sense, America made the mess - America must clean it up.

Although I wish enough people would have protested that this war would have never happened I do agree with you. We have to finish the job. Unfortunately it might become another Iran in that case it will be worst for the world and the Iraqi people.


And lets not forget there was no link between OBL and Sadam.

Oil -

Oil has been a major US concern about Iraq in internal and unpublicized documents, since the start of this Administration, and indeed earlier.

But the need to dominate oil from Iraq is also deeply intertwined with the defense of the dollar. Its current strength is supported by OPEC's requirement (secured by a secret agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia) that all OPEC oil sales be denominated in dollars. This requirement is currently threatened by the desire of some OPEC countries to allow OPEC oil sales to be paid in euros.

The terrorist are cowards



i'm sorry to say this... but it takes an unbelievable amount of courage to sacrifice your own life in something you believe in.

I read after the 9/11 attacks that a radio DJ in New York said the day after the attacks that the hijackers where not cowards... yes, twisted, murders and what ever....but not cowards, he got the sack, apparently Americans didn't want to hear the truth

i persoanlly don't think the terrorists are right, but i admire their conviction in their beliefs. How many on here are prepared to kill themselves for their beliefs?

to pay the ultimate (yes, very wrong) sacrifice is not the actions of a coward

Without meaning to be rude or stubborn, where is the proof?

Ok there are a lot of oil reserves in Iraq, and it would seme absurd to argue that that wasn't the cae i agree.... but....

why do it then?

what not attack 5 years before if oil was such a big thing?

Maybe cos of a new president?
