That's not right. We toppled SH for democracy but we're going to occupy a sovereign country and impose ourselves on them anyway. BTW we're stealing their oil when we can get it. - Cost of war: $1.7 Billion. Actual cost: $350 Billion with no end in sight. - Length of war: 1.5 weeks. Actual length of war: endless - We're fighting terrorism. Terrorism IS UP since 911. - We're bringing democracy. Afghanistan and Iraq are in civil war and chaos. - We're winning against (take your pick): Syrians, Iranians, Islamists, Baathists, Republican Guards, Dead Enders, Sunnis, al-Sadr, etc. etc. - We're not there for oil. Ooops! we did divide up Iraq's oil fields long before the war. - We're there because 911 changed everything. Ooops! we've been chattering about toppling SH for over a decade and made it the number 1 priority in the first NSA meeting 8 months before 911. - It's all Clinton's fault. We ignored him completely when he said terrorism and AQ were our number one foreign priorities. We ignored the Cole bombing investigation. We ignored the 40 FBI warnings. We ignored Clarke. We ignored EVERYONE. It's still Clintons' fault.
