Ryan T Wrote:... in a country that hates us.I let a lot of really stupid comments go in political discussion, but since Ive hear this ass-speak all the time from the uninformed, I have a question for you,
How the fuck do you come to this conclusion?
CNN? CBS? Or just the bush bashing bandwagon ?
Im sitting, right at this very moment, in a classroom full of marines who are in garrison in-between Iraq deployments. These guys were part of the invasion and saw the statue fall. Earlier today I was talking with a master sargeant who told me about the crowds and mobs of cheering Iraqis, the gratitude and gifts they recieved from Iraqi citizens everywhere.
Of course, being informed as you are, you surely know that the majority insurgents and terrorists are not Iraqis, but from neighboring terrorist networks.
I have several co-workers who are native Iraqis. It is difficult to get them to talk about it, but they suffice to say that it was a nightmare under Saddam's reign, and their family members still in Iraq are ecstatic to be rid of him and to form a new government.
I just gave you direct, first person information. Not CNN, not CBS, not even FoxNews. All you guys can say is "bush sucks so Im voting for kerry"
Here is an idea: how about making an informed decision.
I have.
