I am amazed at the lack of support.
This is a great break through. Will it get us out of Iraq quicker....not likely but I'd like to think so.
Will it help at all....who knows.
All I hope is that it squashes a bit of the anti american activity over there.....maybe not have any more military deaths being reported to stateside families over the holidays. Maybe just a couple short weeks of less resistance so we can get a jump on some of the water and power supply issues....and what not. ....just a little makes it worth it.
And we were not in Iraq for osama? What the hell...we went there to stop Sadam....we did. I am not some raging republican bush supporter but this is a good thing....maybe you guys should be happy for something instead of angry at everything....
Osama is probably freakin dead an burried inside one of those caves we bombed the crap out of....at this point we can't do anything about it....just try to trust our military and leadership...however idiotic they seem at times.
man...who freakin cares about presidential ratings and we shouldn't have been there in the first place crap.....woulda shoulda...fact is we are...we did....at least something good happened.

im just grateful to be livin here in the U.S. and not in the Philippines right now...it really sucks, and i feel sorry for the people...i just don't get why everyone hates the U.S. and the person who's leading it.
Compare yourself to another common person of your same age to someone in Iraq...you think he'll be driving a WRX right now?? you think he has the same salary as you? do you think he has medical benefits??if i was in the PI, i would be prolly driving some POS 80's lancer...no medical benefits, working for like $100 dollars/month (PI Pesos converted).
Yes the U.S. has some agenda's in these third world countries that they are "helping" or "aiding" as they fight terrorism and dictatorships, but to be honest with you, i'd rather have them interfere all the time, take what they need whether if its oil, demographical strategies or what not, kick out all dictators, and spread the wealth for the people, well that did not happen for the PI since they are stupid enough to kick out the U.S. bases (so there goes our defense when we get attacked by other neigboring countries). But we still borrow ga-zillions of money from the U.S. and still get help inspite of. And its way better than when our own Marcos was ruling it. But i still won't live there even if i had money, coz the corruption just sucks every breath you take.
IMHO, they don't want the U.S. to interfere because they know the U.S. will seize all their stolen assets and wealth and use it to rebuild the nation which really belongs to the people whom they stole it from.
Im just thankful and blessed to be raising my son here, where there's equality, justice and the oppurtunity to pursue happiness and success.

People in Iraq that have info about the WMD's (which are there in Iraq or in Iran or Syria or in Syria's puppet country Lebanon no matter what Howard Dean told you) will now come forward because they no longer have Saddam to fear. I think we will have found WMD's by this time next month. I am just glad that Howard Dean takes a huge blow from this. It's funny that people on a car message board would support Howard Dean who, if he had his way, would probably ban all gasoline powered machines and make us all ride horses (actually we would probably have to walk b/c riding horses is probably cruelty to animals) and deal with his crappy socialized health care plan.

I don't understand why so many people who live in America are so anti-America. This is not the USSR (or Iraq under Saddam) where the public was lied to every day. With the way the media (which is generally anti-war) is so entrenched in this war there would be no way (even if the CIA wanted to) for us to "plant" WMD's. In 1981 when Israel blew up Iraq's French-supplied nuclear reactor it was people like you that protested. I sure am glad as hell that Israel took out that reactor before it could go online. Just think of what the first Gulf War would have been if Iraq's nuke program had been able to get up and running. That's right, it probably would have been the start of WW3. Even if Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with September 11, the world is a much safer place now that he is gone (and his capture puts the nail in the coffin of his supporters). On a side note, just think of all of the Kurds that his Ba'ath party killed (and all those that won't be killed now that he is gone). Not sure about you, but I personally think that ALL human life is sacred.
I'm not trying to prove that this war was a good idea (although I think to a high degree it was), I am just trying to show that catching Saddam is something we should be very happy about and that his capture definitely makes the world safer (and will help lead us to his WMDs).

You sir are an idiot.
Im not even going to go into it with you right now.
My suggestion pull your head out of your *** and do some research on things before you commit them to "reality".

I don't know you (or what you know or think you know), but I do know that I know a whole lot about Middle Eastern conflicts throughout the years and my posts show some of that. I have done much research on these topics and looked at documents written from both sides of the issues (along with writing a few 15+ page "books" on certain conflicts/issues).
If you think that you are being lied to here in America, try moving to Iran or Cuba or Syria and see how much truth the government controlled media tells you. Maybe that is "reality" to you.
As for me, I am proud to be an American and thank all those who have fought and/or died for my freedom.
Lastly, I call on you to disprove any of my statements that you seem to think I have blindly accepted as fact.

in addition...i know how those people feel on what they have gone through, i have experienced it under a dictator, corruption, and injustice...the harsh kinds...so i can say that i am happy for them that they don't have to live the way they used to. Makes me wish the U.S. did something to stop Marcos' injustice, corruption, and abuse of the poor. also, im glad you did not have to go through any sort of these situations in your life(correct me if im wrong), and if so...consider yourself lucky
im not trying to argue with any of you...im just trying to get a point across on how it feels to be oppressed, coz im sure as heck i don't feel any oppression here in the U.S. these days
