very touchy subject, my bro in law served two terms over there and he says and i quote "we need to leave and let them sort it out themselves" and that is how the majority of troops say. to me it was only for us to take control over the oil in the region and has anyone yet seen on the news where they found the WMD's?? i dont think so. and now bush wants to go into iran hhmmm hellooooo where do you think one of the second biggest oil producers are? iran and the iran government said if the us dont mind their own business they will release billions of oil into the economy for free and oil companies (like the one bush owns) would go bankrupt. its not about stability cause there really wasnt any after the first time we invaded. just that the iraq's were peaceful till we started invading for their oil.

I have asked  a number of soldiers who served and people who know people who served and majority have told me that we need to stay.  So I have different experiecne than you do with talking to people in the military.

 You say it was for oil then where is the money from it becuase the US hasnt recieved a cent.

When did Bush directly say he want to go into Iran.  He has only said it was a threat and it is indeed a huge threat.  We may need to even attack but we will not invade like we did in Iraq by any means.  At most we will bomb.

I like how you say Iraq was peacful.  You call gassing thousands just to test chemical warfare peacful?


my friend just got back from the Air Force(totally out) and him and his wife (army and has a couple months left) both agree they need to stay. I just met a guy who is joining for 6 more years and getting deployed right away. "we need to  stay" a long time ago friend got a hold of me a while back. we shot the shit and he agreed in staying (tried to recruit me and is not a recruiter). and a friend of mine just got out of basic and is deploying right away and i quote "it's terrible over there and i feel i am here to help out."
