war in Iraq

Just two points you may want to consider

1. Didn't the people in Iraq kill Saddam?????

2. and i dont think we went into Iraq to get oil because oil is so cheap now :rolleyes:

Saddam was captured by US soldiers, who later handed him over to the Iraqi government who tried and executed him. There was no vigilante justice, if that's what you're implying.

Also, oil is getting MORE expensive. In 1999, oil was 11 dollars a barrel. We reached our peak of $98.62 per barrel during November of this year.
 
She did? Wow.

yeah.
I have an excerpt:
THIS IS A SPEACH MADE BY H. CLINTON AS AN APPROVAL FOR TEH WAR. I HAVE BOLDED THE PARTS WHERE SHE SAYS SHE SUPPORTS IT
October 10, 2002
Floor Speech of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
on S.J. Res. 45, A Resolution to Authorize the Use of
United States Armed Forces Against Iraq

As Delivered

Today we are asked whether to give the President of the United States authority to use force in Iraq should diplomatic efforts fail to dismantle Saddam Hussein's chemical and biological weapons and his nuclear program.

I am honored to represent nearly 19 million New Yorkers, a thoughtful democracy of voices and opinions who make themselves heard on the great issues of our day especially this one. Many have contacted my office about this resolution, both in support of and in opposition to it, and I am grateful to all who have expressed an opinion.

I also greatly respect the differing opinions within this body. The debate they engender will aid our search for a wise, effective policy. Therefore, on no account should dissent be discouraged or disparaged. It is central to our freedom and to our progress, for on more than one occasion, history has proven our great dissenters to be right.

Now, I believe the facts that have brought us to this fateful vote are not in doubt. Saddam Hussein is a tyrant who has tortured and killed his own people, even his own family members, to maintain his iron grip on power. He used chemical weapons on Iraqi Kurds and on Iranians, killing over 20 thousand people. Unfortunately, during the 1980's, while he engaged in such horrific activity, he enjoyed the support of the American government, because he had oil and was seen as a counterweight to the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran.


In 1991, Saddam Hussein invaded and occupied Kuwait, losing the support of the United States. The first President Bush assembled a global coalition, including many Arab states, and threw Saddam out after forty-three days of bombing and a hundred hours of ground operations. The U.S.-led coalition then withdrew, leaving the Kurds and the Shiites, who had risen against Saddam Hussein at our urging, to Saddam's revenge.


So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation. A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war; it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our President and we say to him - use these powers wisely and as a last resort. And it is a vote that says clearly to Saddam Hussein - this is your last chance - disarm or be disarmed.
 

I'm against. But I support the troops 110%

Against the war.
Support the troops.

We should've just minded our own business.
It's stupid to invade one country just because it isn't running the way WE want it.
 
I'm against both wars. Afghanistan and Iraq.

I support the troops. I definately do, I admire anyone who could go to war for their country, or to keep peace in another country.

1. yes, but that was after the U.S. distroyed their government.
2. I know the oil prices are going up and it's because of the war. But Bush went in there hoping to get rid of saddam and take their oil, he did not think that the war would be this long and to this extent, because he doesn't think, he just does.
 
I fully think that if had we not invaded Iraq, there would be a war here in America.


Hillary Clinton (D-NY & Presidental Candidate) voted for the war.

I know that. I wouldn't vote for her even if she hadn't, though.

For the number 2, how do you know for sure that he went there for oil because I never heard Bush say he was going there for it. And I do believe we should have went there because we were being threatened by nuclear weapons.

Because it is obvious. What weapons? they don't have any and havent for a good 10 years.
