Because I'm not as cynical as you are...that's why. I believe we were motivated to go to that region because we knew the only way to prevent another 9/11 {remember this was the second attack on the WTC} was to wipe Al Qaeda off the face of the earth. We all knew [or at least some of us] that after that terrible attack on 9/11, we needed to destroy Al Qaeda.

Let me ask you this? Have you taken the time to read the description of what happened [and the terrible experiences] of our fellow Americans trapped in those twin towers. I did. Believe me it'll send chills up and down your spine. You know it very well could have been a member of your family in that tower on 9/11. Heartbreaking stuff. Some of those poor folks, experienced terror so gripping they jumped to their death rather than remain in the inferno.

One of the proudest moments as an American was when I watched all those young men and woman standing at parade rest around the outer perimeter of that Aircraft Carrier Deck as they went off to hunt and destroy the demons who did this to us.

Radical Islam is an evil religion and it must be wiped off the face of the earth. Now if you insist on saying it's all about money, that's your right. I disagree.....imo it's about an oppressive religion that seeks to DOMINATE the world and force your wife, mother and daughter to wear a Burka, AND force our women to undergo sexual mutilation. Radical Islam must be destroyed.....or it will destroy us.

Thanks to Obama [and cynics like you}....the radical islamic jihadist are dancing in the streets tonight, and about to capture Baghdad.

Says the guy who can't stop bashing the Obama Administration (and rightfully so, BTW).
You know, you guys really crack me up. You constantly bitch and moan about government, then when I come in and pile on, I get called cynical or worse.
You folks really are a joke.

It is YOUR ignorance and narcissism which enables these wars for profit.
It is YOUR ignorance and narcissism which allows freedom-hating motherfrickers like Obama (and those before him) to be President.
I am sick and tired of taking the blame on this board for your goddamned stupidity.

You want to go halfway across the globe to kill and be killed so some rich, greedy bastard can pocket his next fortune? - fine, more power to you. But don't come back here with your bleeding-heart tales of how a handful of folks actually bettered themselves for it.
Save it for the next circle jerk on this board.

I am sick and tired of you bleeding-hearts acting like you're the savior of the planet when all you've really done is perpetuate death and destruction by unwittingly fund the next big "business venture" while leaving a trail of blood along the way (ours and "theirs").

And if you think it takes the United States Military 13-plus years to do so, then you're even dumber than your post would indicate.
And while you're at it, tell me again who created, trained and funded Al Qaeda in the first place, and why we continue to fund it today?

I've talked to a few personally. One in particular whom I consider a friend. He was given a medal by President Bush for bravery, saving many lives that day. He also tells a very different tale about what happened that day.

This is the type of ignorance that must be dealt with if anything is ever going to change in this country.

You know how I know you didn't live through the Vietnam Era?

Perhaps you should politely ask your representative to see that we stop funding terrorism around the world. Just a thought.
P.S. To be honest, I don't give a flying frick about Baghdad. And if not for oil and a dollar backed by thin air, neither would anyone else.
Oh, and thanks a bunch for contributing to my personal debt.
