War in Iraq

[Maldra]

Hello. I know lots of you like to rant on about the war in Iraq, and I'm writing a paper on it due tomorrow morning, and I'd like to quote some of you in it if you don't mind on your personal views on the war, and your views on how the media portrays it. I expect lots of quick rants on both sides. GO

AHHH FUCK SAND PEOPLE MAKE ME MAD.

Define procrastination...

Define procrastination...

Yeah, I know. And of course to procrastinate worse, I make a thread on BG to attempt to be lazy. Go me.

[Correction]

Time to start creating some poetic phrases centering on the words 'sand nigger' right?

This is what you get for coming to BG with 'oops paper due tomorrow.'

[Maldra]

Haha, well I posted here more for quotes than help with my paper. I need 4 quotes from specific sources from a reading from my textbook, and it wouldn't hurt for having other quotes as well. I blame my procrastination on the final I had tonight in my Business Law 102 class though.. College summer courses suck.

Why should I come up with quotes when other people can do it much better?

There is a war going on in Iraq? Im pretty sure youre using the wrong wording there

Just copy-paste the bullshit in wikipedia and throw in some cliche phrases/opinions and it will be hard not to get an A for covering such important subject matter.

edit: I agree with Ron Pauls views most the time, but I cant understand the support banner for Bob Barr. All of my Lib friends are nothing short of outraged and disgusted that he is the best we can do for a Libertarian candidate..

As an army officer who has been deployed:

I do not personally agree with invading Iraq, and I believe alot of things have been handled poorly. However, we have done alot of good things for the people of that nation, and have set the foundations for the development of a democratic system. Wether their culture and the long standing sect hatred will alow that to stand for long will be determined. When it comes down to what it means to me to fight in Iraq, it is simply about doing my job the best I can so that everyone that deploys with me, comes back with me. When your in a place where half the people want to kill you, and the other half wouldnt mind watching you die, you sometimes wonder where the blood, sweat, and friends lives will lead you.. and if the total price is worth the gain.

The gain of this war is going to be very hard to measure, and we may never know if it really was the right decision. Unfortunately the price is alot more clear to see. On the other hand, pro-war individuals may ask what would have been the price of not going?

For me, it cost some friends, almost my marriage, and a little more cynical outlook on life. But I guess thats how people grow.

Well put Neosutra.

I see the initial invasion as a blatantly retarded act against a sovereign nation. Unfortunately Mr. Bush forgets that a war on multiple fronts only saps the aggressor nation. HOWEVER, since we have eliminated the power structure, creating a vacuum where the human vermin of the REAL terrorist organizations could infiltrate and entrench, it is our responsibility to assist the duly elected leaders in reestablishing order then GTFO. I also find the justifications of "We're at war with terrorists and you're costing American lives!" to circumvent the very ideals we are trying to "instill" over in Iraq utterly sickening. I know my vote is not that large, however *any* representative that votes with the current tides of Fascism in my district will not receive my vote, nor any other person I can reach. I will say that one positive thing arose out of this morass: if anything, my family and I are more politically active than ever before.

meh, like killing hajis, disagree with why. end statement.

I was going for quotes from my peers. Done with my paper now, though!

And Neosutra, thank you for your input. I always like to hear the views from soldiers in Iraq.

To be the enemy of the empire, is to be damned.
And your damnation are we, the space marines
Angels of death!
