» Feature Writer Brian Tubbs - Doesn't make any sense?

In response to Iraq and God posted by pink101:


So, by reiterating your statement "I believe this war [the Iraq war] is about killing people," are you ACTUALLY saying that George W. Bush and company got us into this mainly because they wanted to go "kill some people."

With all due respect, that's the craziest thing I've heard in a long time. Do you HONESTLY believe George W. Bush wakes up each morning and asks: "Who can I kill today?" Come on, Pink.

If what you're saying is that all we're accomplishing over in Iraq is killing people, well, then we can discuss that. I would say that's pretty much all we accomplished in Vietnam, although it wasn't our objective. We TRIED to save South Vietnam from falling under communist domination, but we failed. And thus - at the end - what we had to show for our efforts were dead Americans and dead Vietnamese.

This is one reason why i don't want to just abandon Iraq like we abandoned South Vietnam. Once we commit, we need to see it through to victory. If we need to change our strategy, fine. But let's not throw in the towel because things get tough or protracted. We got ourselves into Iraq. We need to finish the job - and THEN leave.
