I dont see why any countries are going to donate troops to this mission.

I hear everyday of some kind of bombing or some other cause of American death and it's going to continue for as long as we are there.
We shouldnt have been there in the first place or we should secured a peacekeeping team after the conflict was over.
Fucking get serious, this is the biggest crock shit I have ever seen on this website...

I think I've just seen a bigger one:

You Liberals call yourselves stewards of the unprotected and unfortuante, where is your compassion for the Iraqi's that have been to hell and back under that maniac Saddam? Saddam was responsible for the deaths of nearly 2 million people, the world is a better place with him gone. Further more everyone should be thankful that the death rate of American/ British soldiers has been this low. [/B]

We call ourselves stewards of the unprotected and unfortunate because we
are. While you conservatives are happily passing tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the top 1%, while you're gleefully destroying the environment because it's good for business, while you're aggressively and callously throwing American military power and American military lives away in a meaningless war in the middle of a desert, we liberals are busy trying our damnedest to stop you conservatives from destroying the entire freaking world and pocketing whatever profits you can make from the process.
Speaking of that maniac Saddam, wasn't that Don Rumsfeld I saw grinning and shaking hands with him back in the 80's? Weren't we the ones propping him up in his insane war for dominance in the region against Iran? Wasn't it two Republican presidents (The preternaturally incompetent Bush I and the astoundingly reckless Reagan) who turned a blind eye to his accumulation and use of weapons of mass destruction against the Iranians and Kurds? Speaking of that witless fool Reagan, wasn't it his administration that was arming Iran (our likely next target in the War on Terra) to secure the release of hostages?
I don't pretend that liberal hands are clean. I don't pretend to be perfect. But I can state categorically with examples of the fact - not an opinion, Mojo, a
cold, hard fact that the balance of evils here comes down hard on the shoulders of the Republican Party and its Tory Democrat supporters. Sure, Saddam's gone. Great, woohoo. Problem is that Colin Powell, in Feb. 2001, was running around the Middle East saying that Saddam didn't have WMD, he was effectively contained. This is documented, btw. So you've got an archconservative Republican administration that baldfacedly lied the nation into an aggressive war. You've got thousands and thousands dead, a great many of them civilians, all to depose one bad guy who really wasn't able to bother anyone because we'd sat on his head. And while we deposed him, we can't even *find* him. Nor, for that matter, can we find those hundreds of tons of WMDs we were all warned about.
Frankly, if this is how conservatives choose to do things, I'll happily stick with liberals, warts and all. At least if a liberal makes a mistake, it's not going to leave the entire world pissed off at us.
