Why are we [still] in Iraq?

[Scofield]

What is our goal? Our mission?

What constitutes "victory" in Iraq?

What are the reasons for our continued occupation?

What were the original reasons for our invasion, that still stand today?

What must happen in order for the American Military to withdrawal from Iraq, and return to the States?

Why? So that the elite can rob us blind. That's basically why. Rich contractor companies are making out very well on this war.

Rich keeps getting richer

Poor keeps getting poorer

Solution: leave those lands and repeal the laws in the US against competing currencies.

To ensure a strong central govt and keep fighting against things this country was founded on.

To ensure the surge strategy looks like it worked and a some withdrawls can be announced in Aug. That way it becomes a political victory for McCain.

So the idiots who lead us into war do not have to say they are responsible for the senseless deaths of over 4K American soldiers and 150K innocent Iraqi civilians.

Right now there are lots of reasons. I think originally it had a little to do with oil, a little to do with dollar hegemony, and a LOT to do with the MI complex. Now as the economic shit hits the fan it has much more to do with oil and dollar hegemony and as much to do with the MI complex. If our economy was strong we could pull out and the MI complex would be fairly resilient. If we pull out now LOTS of Americans would lose their jobs and major defense corporations would start to see their profits shrink. The entire war in the middle east is about economics not terrorism. The drug cartels operating south of the border are much more of a threat to national security than jihadists with AK-47's and suitcase nukes. One of the main ways to get a suitcase nuke into this countyr is through mexico. But again our borders are wide open.

Bush needs to preserve his ego...at the expense of the people.

 

[Conza88]

Why are we [still] in Iraq?

Because it is needed as a launch pad to occupy the middle east.
There are profits still to be made.

It was Eat The Rich, from 1987's Rock And Roll album. There was also a movie of the same name that same year - Motorhead appears in the movie and did the soundtrack. Paul McCartney has a brief appearance in the movie. The album is good, as Motorhead albums go. The movie is awful, one of the worst ever made IMO, but is a lot of fun if you're a Motorhead fan.

To get us 'cheap oil' and thus make our economy prosper?

Really don't know answer to your question.

 

[Mongoose470]

To save the billionaires.

according to laura ingram, it is because we need to send a message to the world that we won't back down, no matter how much blood is shed, or lives are lost.
