I'm curious -- how was it an investment? What threat was there? Also, why is this a troop support issue. I have no issue with the troops at all. I come from a military family, in fact I have two family members that recently returned from Iraq along with many friends on their way over shortly. You can be totally against a war and support the troops. I bet a majority of the troops would rather not be in Iraq, but they do as their told.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread. But people want to complain about social programs trying to improve our country when our spending for wars and other efforts are making the debt go to an all-time high.

Schneed -- if my views are so short sighted, I am very interested to hear how the Iraq war will make money for the United States.

On a completely unrelated note. Did anyone get a piece of mail saying that your stimulus check would be sent out within 3-5 business days? What a waste of money that was.

I'm not questioning your support for the troops but what you're advocating is retreat. We must accomplish the mission and return home with honor. Like my man McCain says, only a fool likes wars but we shouldn't leave Iraq without achieving our objectives. We must wipe out terrorist off the face of the earth by fighting them over there rather than over here. We have to stabilize Iraq and bring democracy to the middle east. We can't afford not to succeed. We have to succeeded even if it takes 100 years.
