“The last U.S. soldiers rolled out of Iraq across the border into neighboring Kuwait at daybreak Sunday, whooping, fist bumping and hugging each other in a burst of joy and relief. Their convoy’s exit marked the end of a bitterly divisive war that raged for nearly nine years and left Iraq shattered, with troubling questions lingering over whether the Arab nation will remain a steadfast U.S. ally.
The mission cost nearly 4,500 American and well more than 100,000 Iraqi lives and $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury. The question of whether it was worth it all is yet unanswered.”

What do you lot think? Was the price we paid both in lives and money worth the effort?

Shouldve never gone there in the first place. This country needs to mind its own fucking business and start dealing with issues within itself before trying to sort out the rest of the world’s problems and/or causing more.

3

It wasn’t worth the money or lives to just surrender like that.

4

I have to agree …

5

And that we did…

They owe us in my mind… payable in oil.

6

Indeed

7

Now just gotta get them out of Afghanistan.

Though that prolly won’t happen until 11/5/12 to get some more votes.

8

There still going over lol , hell ohnopopo is on his way next month for a yr

9

usa needs to make money one way or another and the last 100 or so years they chose wars to make profit. stand up for your future and yourself

any of you guys protest? i bet you dont. occupy the streets

10

Shut up u fuckin herb

11

Occupy a looney bin.

The USA doesn’t make money from going to war, they spend it like crazy.

12

Pitman is one messed up d00d. For sure.

13

I still to this day beleive that if we had never ever gotten involved in that BS 9/11 and the first world trade center bombing would have never happened

14

I agree with SRS. But it is what it is.

Now just pull out of Afghanistan and never set foot in that part of that world again. Let it kill itself off.

15

wouldnt it be great if NoKo went nuke on the middle east?

solve 2 problems at once!

16

lol i would if they were fucking shit up. but id think the people at the looney bin are less dangerous than some people in power. people in power make life changing decisions. i could easily defend myself from a re re at the local looney

the tax paying americans pay like crazy i should of worded it different. war is a way to get public money in private hands.the biggest thing is the profiteers. people do make money during war. hard to believe but americans make money during war. and some of these money makers are in our govt.

Well we wouldn’t want them to fail now would we?

I believe hundreds of politicians are still left behind. So no, no more troops (for now) but our part in that country is still huge.
