F*ck no. We went over there with little more than a plan to secure the oil ministry and make the principals of Halliburton and the Carlyle Group and General Electric (largest defense contractor in the US, who also happens to briong you your nightly news) very, very, very rich.
We didn't have plan to secure the infrastructure, repair the damage, secure the munitions dumps or the artifacts in the museums that are who knows how old.
Then, on Friday, Osama Bin Laden is on my god damn television. Can someone please tell me why President Big Balls hasn't captured this motherf*cker yet?

I dont know...ask the millions of Iraqis who can walk around the streets of Iraq without having to fear of secret police, mass graves, and fear of torture.

But I hate seeing Americans getting killed daily by possibly some of those who are now free (Most of those attacking us are "foreign insurgents", But I also feel some are Iraqis) because they hate us as much as they hated "So-damned Insane"

Iraq has turned into what was said in the movie "Full Metal Jacket" about the Vietnam War:

"It's a **** sandwich and we all have to take a bite"

Yes, they love freedom and their liberation so much that they blow up US Soldiers with roadside bombs--8 this weekend alone if you were counting. And they're so happy to be rid of Saddam that they volunteer to be suicide bombers to attack our forces. And if you'd stop watching Fox long enough, you might discover that most Iraqis feel that their quality of life has gone done drastically since their "liberation". Many have no electricity, no water, no jobs, etc thanks to the destruction wrought by the bombs we dropped on them. We're too busy rebuilding the oil fields to worry about providing them with the basic neccessities of life.

In my home state, South Carolina, someone has sent letters out (with no return addresses) to residents living in predominently black communities telling them that if they show up to the polls on Tuesday that they were be arrested if they have any outstanding warrants or even unpaid parking tickets. I've read that this is also going in other states as well.
