If Iraq is supposedly being "liberated", why are Iraqis being killed and tortured in the same numbers as when Saddam was in power? They're the enemy yes, but they're ****ing human beings, why torture them? Why? If they shoot at you, you shoot at them, it's that simple, why torture them slowly and painfully? There is no justification for it.

Apparently thats a normal part of bringing freedom these days.

Do you mean the title of "Commander-in-chief" means nothing and that he has no responsibility ultimately for the conduct of his forces?
that question shall be conveniently dodged.
amazing...i would like these conservatives to tell me one thing.
what IS the commader in chief's responsability? to read speeches
off a teleprompter and nothing more? apparently so, since all other
responsability has been lifted off his shoulders 😬

Werd. They may be the enemis in this war, but atleast they don't burn american troops in metal boxes.
The iraqies didnt burn americans? Did you forget about those pictures that were going around a few months back with the iraqies beating and burning the bodies of men in iraq?

or should i say, what do you think was accomplished?you think we live in a safer world now? tell that to the british.
think iraqi people are free? refer to this article, articles on the mistreatment of illegaly held prisoners at guantanimo bay. think there was a 'smoking gun' that could come to america 'in the form of a mushroom cloud'? think our troops are fighting for freedom? who's freedom? not ours, not iraq's...so who's? why are we there?
can you tell me that?the only way people wil be convinced of how useless and counterproductive this war was is when we are attacked again.
then the uselessness and needless waste of lives will be fully realised....but then again....naaaaaa. it will just be blamed on "dem damn liberals" because their questioning of bush's policy was somehow to blame.its amazing how conservatives seem to remain clean no matter what the case. if we are not attacked it will be because bush and company kept us safe. if we are attacked, its because the liberals interfered with 'progress' by questioning.
the conservative leader is the rooster who is worshipped for causing the sun to rise, while the liberal is the goat who is beaten to death for causing the drought.
It will be safer. It takes a while for things to take root. Look at World War Two. Look at how long we were in Germany and Japan and look at the results.
