31 US Marines Killed in Chopper Crash

Old? It's the reason we're fighting this war. In case you forgot, we were attacked, and 3,000 of our people were killed. Clinton showed you what you would get after 8 years of doing nothing, and we aren't going to make that mistake again.

Bush had a year before 9/11 and he didn't do fuck all. He spent more time at his ranch in Texas then looking into the mounting intelligence that was starting to signal an attack was imminent... (Clinton did the same though )

Osama was from Afghanistan, and a Saudi. There is no connection between Al-Qaeda and Iraq. Even if Saddam would have been willing to sell a bomb to Al-Qaeda...he didn't have one...and couldn't have had one any time soon...so far we havnt found ANY weapons that could have been feasibly used against us. Because there are none.

Al-Qaeda is still living...Osama is still working...somewhere in western pakistan near the border...and he will strike us again...unfortunatley.

I pay them respect, and I mourn their deaths. I have tears for the soldiers and only scorn for their leaders.

Well said! My sentiments exactly.

You were not attacked by Iraq. You were attacked by Osama bin Laden. Saddam Hussein and bin Laden hated each others guts. This war is not being fought because of 9-11. That was the war with Afghanistan.

And yes, Clinton did show us what we would get after 8 years...one of the strongest economies America has ever had, just to be nulled and overturned by this president.

Im sure they would prefer to just not fight.

Have you asked them? The vast majority of soldiers believe that what we are doing in Iraq is the right thing, regardless of the WMDs.

Well if it weren't for invading Iraq, then there wouldn't be any terrorists there. So the US basically created the problem, and caused even more people around the world to dislike Americans. After 9/11 everyone was offering support, but since the US acted like an ass to the rest of the world with Iraq, many people dislike us now.

Riiight. Ever hear of Al-Zarqawi? The lead terrorist in Iraq right now? He was there even before we invaded plotting terrorist attacks and working on chemical weapons.

And stop asking the 9/11 question.... it's really getting old. You ask it every time.

Would you rather another 9/11 happen? We are fighting the terrorists in Iraq so that we don't have to fight them in our own country.

Yea, I'm sure Iraq was quite a threat with the phantom WMD's. And we are so free that "national security" is used as an excuse for creating all kinds of asinine rules because someone wants to feel like they have power and detaining people indefinitely in Guantanamo and other places without charging them because of a "suspicion"

My feelings exactly.

Let me remind some of you this post isn't about was it right or wrong to invade Iraq. None of these Marines took it upon themselves to invade Iraq, none on them dictated U.S foreign policy, they followed their orders and died following those orders. They died for the ideals and beliefs of this country that all people should live free. So cut BS and pay these men and women the respect they deserve.

Shame that so many people have died in this dead end war...

About the most stupid thing I have heard in a long time. I'll leave you to figure it out on your own if you can.

[Airbus_A320]

All of these men died for our freedom and to keep the U.S. safe.

Thank you for confirming the old saying "It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

Any time man...
