I can’t believe there are no posts on this site concerning Ron Paul the presidential candidate extrodinaire. He is the only candidate who has the goods on why we are in this war. And, he’s against our involvement there. Just like you and me. I urge all to go to www.ronpaul2008.com to see what he is all about. You will be pleasantly surprised to find him totally constitutional. You know, that piece of paper that each vet took an oath to protect and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I took that oath 6 times and I have never been releived of the duty to follow it.

Hey everyone i am a junior in high school and i am writing a paper on why we should not be in iraq and i would like to use any opinons from veterans in my paper so if i can send me your opinion and name i would greatly appreciate it thank you

I disagree with Bush sending more troops over to Iraq , because I think It is a waste of human life .I think alot of parents would agree that their war is none of our bussiness.Bush just likes to be a bully, he thinks he can push other countries around , because he thinks he is more important than them!!

I put this post on Jersey Girls site, but I’d like these ideas to get kicked around a bit by the Vets :- I want to suggest to the Jersey Girls that they make contact with the USS Liberty Survivors site; the USS Liberty was attacked by Israel in a 911-type ‘False Flag’ operation; LBJ had sent the Liberty in as a ’sacrificial lamb’, arranging with Israel to sink it and leave no survivors (that was why the Israeli’s shot up the liferafts); Egypt was to be blamed, the US would enter the Six-Day War (in 1967) and take over the whole middle east. Nuclear armed planes were actually on their way to bomb Egypt from the Sixth Fleet and Libya, and were recalled with three minutes to spare (according to Admiral Geis, Commander of the Sixth Fleet, quoted in Peter Hounam’s book ‘Operation Cyanide’). The plan had to be aborted when a Soviet spy ship came on the scene, observing the Israeli attack; Israeli forces then backed off, and Israel apologised to the USA for their ‘mistake’. The survivors were threatened with imprisonment or worse if they disclosed any info on the attack. The survivors have been trying unsuccesfully since 1967 to get a Congressional investigation, just as the Jersey Girls are trying to get a proper investigation into 911. The two campaigns will complement each other, and may get the Vets Against the War on board as well. !A Luta Continua! (The Struggle Continues!) Paul, London

I’m an Iraq War Veteran and I am ashamed of my service for a government that lied to get us into his war. I served a government that carried out the 9/11 attacks on the WTC and Pentagon. That’s right - I said that our government carried out the attacks. I have plenty of evidence if anyone would care to challenge that statement. The question is why. Why would our government feel the need to do such a thing? Why would they kill our own people? Well, the answer is the same as it has always been when it comes to corruption – money and power, power and money. What were the results of the 9/11 attacks? A war in Afghanistan and subsequently a war in Iraq. What else? The patriot act, the creation of the department of Homeland Security, and the concentration of more power in fewer hands than in the history of the United States. It is clear who has benefited from the War on Terror and the War in Iraq.
KBR - or Kellogg, Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton is making billions over in Iraq. Make no mistake about it - we attacked and murdered some of the poorest people in the world in order to make some of the richest people in the world even richer. Follow the money. Who is benefiting from the war in Iraq most? Could it be U.S. Defense contractors? Could it be Oil Contractors? We also have no intentions of leaving Iraq. It doesn’t matter that the democrats won this most recent mid-term elections. They take money from the same people that the Republicans do. Neither party is any good. They are all lying scum-bag opportunist that are not serving in congress for the betterment of the country, but for the betterment of their wallets.
That’s all I say for now - if anyone would like to respond to my comments please do - but don’t go spewing the party-line bullshit. Do your homework first, because believe me, I have.

Why would our president start a war with a country that did not attack us first!The people of Iraq did not harm us in any way!Maybe there was a threat,but nothing else because of this war many inosent people have died both in Iraq and in the United States.This war has also made it so that the Iraqis people are boming many places not only in the US but in a lot of other countrys too.OUR PRESIDENT NEEDS TO STOP THIS WAR.In Iraq Americans are the terrorist we are the ones boming there buildings,we are the ones killing innocent people.we are the ones killing littel girls mothers, we are leaving children homless and with out parents.We are destroying cities at a time.
THIS WAR NEEDS TO END,TO SAVE THE CHILDREN AND THE INNOCENT PEOPLE LEFT IN IRAQ!

I strongly oppose the War in Iraq for two reasons. #1. The day before the war started Vice President Cheney signed a open dollar contract with Haliburton,this was done for only one reason if they control the oil out of Iraq they will control the most powerful influence on the priceof it. . I am a Vietnam Veteran and any Veteran of that war knows you can’t fight a war a win with a enemy you cannot see. The tattics the terroist are using are the same as the North Vietnamese used on us. The higher our numbers of dead and wounded get the more the public in this country will be opposed to it and our governments policies towards it. Evidently our public learned something from Vietnam too bad this administration’s leaders skipped the lessons of Vietnam

So let me get this right: It is a horrible thing and worthy of an impeachment if you lie about receiving a hummer in the white house but if you lie about weapons of mass destruction which is the basis for the war and now over 1,000 US soldiers are dead , that is okay and gets you re-elected. Something is seriously wrong with our VALUES!!!!!

We ask these guys to make the ultimate sacrifice, the least we can do is take care of them when they return. This is just pathetic. The economy must be pretty bad if people are still enlisting knowing that this is going on.

“The American people must understand that democracy just doesn’t happen overnight,” he said. “It is a process. It is an evolution. After all, look at our own history. We had great principles enunciated in our Declarations of Independence and our Constitution, yet, we had slavery for a hundred years. It takes a while for democracy to take hold. And this is a major first step in a society which enables people to express their beliefs and their opinions.” -

Our Troops don’t have a hundred years to make Iraq free. Our government needs to be straight with its people and lets us determine how much we will put up with

If we truly have a volunteer Army than why must we threaten this young man. He already served in Afganistan. We hear from our government that they are exceeding all of their quota’s for enlistment. I understand that you enlist knowing that you can be sent to war but this man went to war and just realized he didn’t have the stomach for it or possibly other reasons. Whatever those reasons are though, if we truly have a volunteer Military than let this man perform a non-combatant role in the states until the end of his enlistment. Your thoughts?
