You know what? Even if it is true it still doesn't change my stance on what we did. We went into Iraq to find WMDs because Saddam was going to blow us up if we didn't get to him first. Welp, no WMDs. Lies by the Administration to finish what daddy started, or to fulfill a vendetta.

Sure, it's great that the Iraqi people are quasi-free. But at what cost to AMERICAN lives? Over 1,000 service members have been killed because our government is trigger happy and fear mongering!!!

So their education system is great. But ours, AMERICAS leaves SO MUCH to be desired. Why not get OUR system up to par before worrying about other countries? Why not fix OUR crumbling schools before fixing another countries?

Sure, their military is operational, but WHY is OURS full of equipment from the Vietnam war? Why do OUR service members families have to hold bake-sales and fundraisers to buy flack jackets and body armor for those in Iraq?!

Did you know that OUR service members have to BUY their own body armor, uniforms and weapons to protect themselves over there (or anywhere)?!

Why are we so worried about other countries and their citizens when our country needs a lot of repair? Our schools are crumbling, we have starving children and families. We have homeless families because someone got sick and they couldn't afford the rent the next month. We have homeless and seriously ill vets, people who served our country because their benefits are being slashed left and right. Thanks for your service, now go live on the street we need the money that would go to your medical care to go find WMDs that aren't there and fight a war we're not ready to start. Oh I'm sorry little Jimmy, you can't eat today, your low income lunch program has been cut to provide Iraqi children with structurally safe buildings. Remember to run as fast as you can out of the building if the ground starts shaking! I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Smith, you'll have to live on the street or in a shelter for another few months because the programs you need to get you back on your feet and be productive contributing members of society have been cut.

Yea. Real great. Lets put our country last. If we keep it up we won't have a country.
