It seems that Biden, who's from Delaware when he's in Delaware and Pennsylvania when in Pennsylvania, is certain now that Iraq will turn out to be one of the Obama-Biden administration's greatest achievements. No, really. Here's how Biden put it to Lar: I am very optimistic about -- about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government. I spent -- I've been there 17 times now. I go about every two months -- three months. I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society. It's impressed me. I've been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences. Biden did not elaborate on what all the administration's other "great achievements" were so far. Poster's comment: Well there you have it. If the Obama Administration says Iraq is a success, who are some nameless, faceless posters on LF to argue against this? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Iraq will erupt into civil war as soon as the U.S pulls out. It's already starting. Bush should have never invaded a country that didn't attack us and didn't pose any threat to us. Why did he? Because the demented neo-commies were planning on getting rid of Hussein since 1996. They tried to talk the Israelis into doing and they said NO. The neo-commies finally found a STOOGE that would do their bidding. We wasted almost $1 TRILLION, the lives of over 4,400 American kids, and crippled countless more American kids. For what??? NOTHING. The Happy Bride
Every war has men like that. I lost two second cousins in WW2 and my family didn't bitch and whine about their deaths, demanding an end to hostilities like these cry-babies do ad nauseam. Let's face it, our generation had it's gut check and we failed. The time to pay the butcher's bill is coming up soon. Dig deep ladies, you're all fucked.
They didn't whine because the Japanese attacked us. Iraq didn't.
My cousins were killed by the Germans. They didn't attack us, we attacked them in the Atlantic. Roosevelt had a hard-on for Hitler from day one. Europe was Roosevelts War. We had no business being in that war.
Wow - doubting the reasons for WWII, and even "The Great War"?? Doubting St. FDR and St. Woodrow?? You guys ARE being politically incorrect, aren't you? (I happen to agree, BTW) But here's where I'm coming from: WWII was the last Constitutionaly declared war (president goes before a joint session of Congress, "day of infamy", etc.) Everyone KNEW we were at war. Everyone was involved in the war (themselves, sons, fathers, uncles, cousins). Everyone sacrificed (gas rationing, shortages of just about everything else.) Most Americans were for victory - even demanded it. When it was over, there was no question that we WON it. There was a surrender ceremony and everything. When was it - and WHO was it - that decided to start fighting these BULLSHIT wars? Korea was a BULLSHIT war. Vietnam was a BULLSHIT war Oh yeah - Iraq will be a success, all right. As much a "success" as Korea. And after almost 60 years, we have, what? North Korea rattling nuclear sabres at the rest of the world? Some success.
While I agree with you, the advent of the hydrogen bomb has rendered the days of "declared wars" over. That and the business and corporate interests which dominate Washington. Let's face it, the bastards own DC and there is nothing we can do about it.
