Who are we serving in Iraq? Why must our boys die?

Our troops need to come back state side and be with their families. The troops serve only the bank accounts of the wealthy oil companies. They are killed for no good reason. Bush needs to get his head out his daddy and his daddies friends arses. BRING OUR PEOPLE HOME! NOT IN BODY BAGS!

Wow, you've never met a marine have you?  If you get all your info from CNN, then you probably think that NO Iraqis have been killed, only our men.  They just did an operation where dozen of Taliban members were bombed and killed.  We lost some men on a truck that fell off a bridge and THAT made the evening news.  God Bless America.... ?

Let us give them a taste of American/British citizenship.  Let's invite them to join the army or marines and go to Iraq and fight for the country they wish to live in.  If they live, we'll give them citizenship.  If they die, then we will give them a hero's burial.

First:   The president is in no way responsible for the death of soldiers in war.  People die in war.  If anything we should be grateful that so few have died.  Over 400 people died every day in vietnam and even more died per day in WWII.\n\nNext:  The reasons for going into Iraq had everything to do with our national security and nothing to do with oil. If you have proof that we have comandeered any oil wells than please, reveal your sources to the world.  You won't find it by the way, because we do not have possession of any Iraqi oil wells.  They are controlled by Iraqi oil companies owned and run by Iraqi citizens.  \n\nTrue we did not find the weapons of mass destruction which bothe British and US intelligence concluded were in Iraq, but we do know that Sadaam had them 15 years ago and we know (According to Bill Clinton anyway) that they had them in 1999. We also know that Sadaam moved them around a lot to evade U.N. inspectors and refused to allow them into the country when they were getting too close.  Do you really think that they just disappeared between 1999 and 2003?  I don't think so.

our troops will stop dying for that particular cause and Iraq will probably revert to a war torn arena that is governed by warlords and/or different religious factions until the most powerful one is able to take control, which will probably/definitely be another Saddam.... then you will have another situation unlike the previous and we can start all over, probably with a US leader that will not invade but will allow a military buildup and then we can just let them invade us..... after all, the only thing most (not all but most) of the governments in that part of the world want is the complete destruction of the west.... which includes us and anyone that is on our side................. so while no one wants what we have there now.... the choice is finish it and get out or get out and let them finish us............... our choice.

Hands down Rummy's record with GW's will triple Saddam's... People are going to die for 30 years in Iraq over radiation poisoning. Our soldiers will be part of the death too, because of the exposure just like the agent orange they sprayed in Vietnam.

'fraid so. our brave american 'heros' will be slaughtered & for what? iraq was better off before we went in. saddams crimes are out of our juristiction. iraq had nothing to do with 911 nor did they have wmd. what they did have was oil that they were wanting to sell on the open market. rather than have the competition, its easier to bs the usa into stealing their oil & selling it to ourselves at inflated prices. so what if we sacrifice a few hundred thousand lives, profits are up. theyll probly reinstate the draft.

Okay I can't speak for Bush and I don't agree with the war but the reason people are dying in iraq is because the american soilders just want to get home alive so they shoot first and ask question second..Its not just iraqis dying over there you know.\nI'm pretty sure most american value lives over oil but then again we don't really control our country big buisness do..

Iraqis are too busy killing each other, and once we leave that is the only people they will be killing. It's called civil war folks. You can sanitise it with pretty words all you want, they just found 24 dead bodies hung up today alone. Blood in the steets sounds very enjoyable, dirt.

We will lose the war. ( How many Iraqi people did 9-11?) This is the truth. Shot and killed one day. News for one day. Buried in 4 days. Forgotten forever. Troops!! You are dying for nothing.

Some of us Americans morn the Iraqi deaths as well as the American. War is bad for living things, we should have never been there in the first place. Our invasion was completely wrong and should have never happened, our leadership made a bad decision and continues to make bad decisions and there is little we can do until the next election.

I think you asked your question wrong,it should be "what are we fighiting for in iraq?" ---we are fighting for oil supply in iraq,this is the primal reason.the second reason is to secure the area (middle east) for isreal.

wrong as wrong can be, every death that has happened over there since the day of our invasion, has to blamed on bush.  he should be tried as a war crimminal in iraq.

I'm assuming that you're talking about civilian deaths as a result of the war over there.  Well, I can tell you that my son who's over there for his second tour of duty in the Army has spent so much time trying to be sure he kills no civilians, regardless of how they treat him that I have to remind him that he's in a WAR ZONE and they are wanting to KILL HIM!  He brushes if off, focusing on all he can do to NOT KILL THEM despite what they do to him.  I pray more each day that his warm, loving, sensitive ways don't get him killed as he cares for them so much.  It even scares me deeply telling you that since it's a dad's greatest fear to have his own killed by people who have no concern about killing, themselves or anyone else.  So how much do I care how many of them get killed.  NOT ONE WHIT!!!!  I'm only concerned about ONE LIFE!!  MY SON'S!!!!  He didn't start that war.  THEY DID!!  God Bless you, and I hope and pray you never have the worry I do now.

in my eyes, we are in Iraq because of the terorists. everyday suicide bombers kill two or three people and wound 2 times as more. Also US is there to make Iraq a Democratic Government and make it an Allie , then in future wars Iraq is going to help USA.

I have a brother in the Marines and he is in Iraq, so I know the comradery that exists between members of the corps and doubless in the army as well.  If you were to watch as your buddy get's killed or maimed by someone, and then were given the job of guarding that man in prison, I find it hard to believe that you would treat that person as well as our Marines and soldiers are treating the people they nab.  People that are always going on about how badly our boys are behaving need to get a life.  They are giving their all to keep this country safe from terror attacks, and the least we can do is give them moral support.  If that is too much to ask, at least shut up about all the criticism.
