Debate question #2

[phantomgerald]

Do not believe what the CNN says? They might not be the biggest wrestling fans and are trying to do WWE in, but you can't deny that they're the biggest and most influential news network in the world. And why are you all government loving? Can't you tell that the government is not perfect?

^No government is perfect. Not yours, not ours, nobody has a perfect government. That's what the Russians tried to do back in the 80's...it didn't work though. It just all fell apart. I'm not saying that our government is spotless, I'm just saying that our government is better than some other places (Iraq)...we made a difference in Iraq. We set up a government for them, we freed them from Saddam Hussein. I don't know why people are saying we haven't done anything over there.

You know what? The Reason why Iraq and America are fighting is because of these News Channels, I sort of agree with Trav over here, CNN and not only CNN but all other News Channels *cough* BBC *cough* yeah, they all make up BS on some issue, a small thing and they make a big deal out of it, but on the other hand they get green bags and that's what they are interested in.

* I have to say, the President is bullsh*t right now* - Everyone has their own opinions.

It's what the news channels do to garner ratings, you can't blame them. But did USA actually do the right thing in Iraq? The reason they attacked was because of weapons of mass destruction, but they never found any. And by liberating Iraq was the American lives lost worth it? Have you ever thought how these people's families will feel?

I agree here, but the thing I'll say is that we are the only country (I think) that hasn't changed their constitution in over 300 years! That is got to say something.

I'm tired of the stupid fucking families "THE PRESIDENT KILLED MY CHILD :" It sucks to lose a child...but going as far as to say that Bush caused it is bullcrap. Bush didn't hold a gun to their head to sign the papers...Bush didn't make them go through training....they did it themselves. They knew the responsibilites when they signed up. They could've quit whenever they wanted during training...but they didn't. I actually think we should be out of Iraq right now...but not out of Afghanastan...that's just my views on that. Yeah, the weapons of mass destruction....if you were President and there was a threat that there were nuclear bombs that oculd hit your country...wouldn't you take action against them?

As much as I would bash Bush for the Iraq deal...whats done is done. We need to rebuild Iraq and be a force in the Middle East. Not b/c of terroists or oil, but b/c they chose the path to go there.

As far as WMD goes we couldn't find them, but you never know what they are printing out there these days.
