Hahaha. Oops, sorry we fucked your country, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, all for no reason at all, but hey, war's a bitch.

You're a useless American. Our founders would be ashamed.

they acted on the information available and the sentiments of both parties. hindsight is a beautiful thing, for morons.

The info was only somewhat certain that Iraq may have had weapons of mass destruction, even if they did we were sold a story that they were actually a threat to america on our own soil--no evidence backed that up.

Japan did attack us first, and then refused to surrender when everyone else had. The use of nukes in that situation will probably be debated for centuries to come.

Sure, war is hell. I think our country can and will continue to take more pride in how we won WWII vs how and why we "won" Iraq. It also took about 2.3 times the amount of time to "win" Iraq than WWII.

it takes more money and time to fight a war in a pc acceptable manner.

So let me see if I got this, we set up the Iraq war to be more PC than previous wars to satisfy the liberals who demanded that?

The increased cost had nothing to do with the huge force of private no-bid contractors making an average of 3 to 4 times what the actual military was making all while having virtually no regulation under the U.S. military. Are you sure you are as old as you say?

you forgot to mention cheney owns 3 billion shares of halliburton.

You forgot to pay attention to world events and politics before 2010

I didn't say anything about Cheney because I was referring just to "boots on the ground" people. A lot of security and service force in Iraq was private and they made about 150K+ a year for stuff our military could do all while saying it was "an all volunteer service". Please elaborate on the PC components of the Iraq war compared to WWII.

ww2 civilian deaths were just collateral damage, ask hiroshima residents. ww2 if enemy combatants were hiding in a church, the church would be bombed.

Maybe you missed all the stuff Manning released that the Gov't burried? You know killing civilians, etc?

Well that is one way to look at it, but we didn't nuke japan right away--they just wouldn't surrender. It was nuke them or potentially have millions more in casualties.

We called them enemy soldiers back then, since no substantial insurgencies developed in WWII, we beat the enemy got them on their feet and left. Iraq's actual army was taken out in like 3 or 4 months, the next 9 years were all counter insurgency.

you think ww2 was fought the same as iraq? if it was fought as ww2, u.s. would've blown up the mosques iraqi soldiers were fighting out of. i don't recall an atomic bomb being dropped on civilians in iraq, perhaps faux news didn't cover it
