Yes, you are. The second part of that statement is proof; it makes no sense and is based on a ridiculous assumption.

And I have no idea where you got you info from Iraq,but my older brother was a medic stationed there,he told me thing have improved a lot since they first arrived there back when the war began!
Did I ever say things haven’t improved in Iraq? I’m sure they have (dear lord, I’d HOPE they made some progress), but there are still plenty of problems there that we need to take care of, and I am in full support of fixing those problems before we withdraw. However, it’s not going to be easy.

We aren't winning the war on terror?Yeah right,last time I checked,we weren't the ones cowering in the mountains.🙄
Again, I never SAID we weren’t winning, the thing is we can’t WIN! That is to say, we can’t STOP IT ALTOGETHER! There will always be terrorists, regardless of whether they are in the streets of Baghdad or in the mountains of Pakistan or on a New York City subway train. The terrorists don’t have to win, they just can’t lose. And if they can’t lose, we can’t win. Actually, it’s probably not best described as winning or losing; more accurate description might be keeping it under control, and we’re definitely working on that.

Acts of terrorism have been happening ALL OVER THE GLOBE for a long time, not just Iraq. Does that mean we should invade every country that has had acts of terrorism associated with it? Certainly not. Terrorists are different in that they can be anywhere and not necessarily linked to any particular country or government. So, inadvertently, we made Iraq the front line for the War on Terror by invading it. Makes things easier, you know. Americans like it that way.

Face it,if we hadn't gone there and set things straight,noone else would have!
You sound so sure of yourself! I’m not convinced that we had some sort of obligation to go in there and establish a new form of government. The Iraqi people have to WANT it bad enough, and if they really don’t want it things aren’t going to work so well (as we are beginning to see). Countries have had rebellions in the past and have successfully overthrown oppressive governments (for example…the United States!). Why should we have to go over and fight the Iraqi rebellion for them? When they don’t even want it!?!? I’m just saying, it would have been more effective had the Iraqi people used all their energy (and perhaps hatred towards America) and used it to overthrow oppressive dictators like Saddam Hussein. Many have done it in the past, so why should things be different now?

Again,you are pathetic,you make excuses to justify you not supporting your own country!
Not entirely accurate. I love America! I don’t see how you can just make that assumption, just because I don’t agree with everything the government has done. Call me crazy, but I’m not going to blindly follow whatever the government tells me just because I’m supposed to be patriotic. Can’t I love my country and still criticize my government for making mistakes; mistakes that often go against traditional American values?

And like I said,the Insurgents ARE connected to the terrorists,otherwise,they themselves wouldn't have survived this long!
Did I ever say they weren’t? Did you even READ my post?

Maybe you’ll be able to see the truth for yourself when you stop looking for it up your own @sshole.
