Yeah.... Anyway the government has failed us in two ways: They held our military back, they should have let them go in there and do their job. Second off we have not tried our best to reach out to the citizens of Iraq

I dont think that it is. Read my post on the draft.

What is our "job" in Iraq? In what ways should we reach out to the citizens of Iraq?

our job was to find WMDs/get rid of Saddam. We got held up with the U.N. so long he moved his weapons to Syria, but he got hung so we're 1 for 2. We can reach out to citizens by talking to infleuntial clerics. This has worked in the Diyala province were former Al-Qaeda sympathizers have turned agianst them and are now helping us

President Bush said first it was to remove WMDs...once those werent found it was to free Iraq. Now that that isnt garnering support, who knows what the next made up objective will be.

So you have actual government documentation that says this? This is strong evidence, if this is true, then why isnt the President using this information as a proving point for his reason to invade?

The majority of the populace doesnt want us there. No amount of talking will change this.

damn right we should pull out and start making child solders

I think that because of the lack of support he is afraid to expand the war. An Iraqi general said that he flew WMDs to Syria, and radar records support this. I also think that most of the Iraqis don;t want us there but they also want the violence to be eased. They will follow the word of their clerics so we need to talk to them

So again... if the Syria information were true, then why isnt President Bush using this as proof for reason of invasion?

No one trusts him, even if it were true no one would believe him(i.e. Iran's nuclear weapons program)

Thats a horrible reason. If the information you gave were actually true, President Bush would use it as proof for his reasons for invasion. He has not.

NO ONE TRUSTS HIM! 55% of the population says it is ok to let Iran have a nuke. Do you think he could garner enough support to invade Syria

You have a problem reading and digesting material. Why would the government not use a piece of evidence that is VITAL to their position?

No one trusts Bush because he has a track record of incompetence and lying. However, it is still ridiculously stupid to NOT bring forth evidence that could possibly change the public's outlook on the war

But it is too late to change people's mind on the war. The only thing that can do that is to win. Lies?!
