THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR

from JoeUser Forums


Today the Philadelphia Inquirer has a story by Tom Lasseter about the situation in Iraq which is more accurate and anything we are hearing from the Bush administration. The interview is with two 3rd infantry division snipers serving in Iraq. They described their day-to-day life in this struggle and have come to some very disturbing conclusions.

The bottom line for these two sergeants who have served over 7 years each in the Army including multiple tours in Iraq are as follows: Quote the reason why they are fighting us is not Osama bin Laden. They are fighting us because we are here. They just want us to leave. I guess that would be a victory for them. In past situations you had a good guy and a bad guy and the troops were impassioned, but now troops just want TO GO HOME.

How different is THIS ACCOUNT of the Iraq War from what we are being told by Bush and his minions. The truth, I fear, is MUCH closer to what these two battle hardened soldiers are saying then what President Bush is telling the American people.

What I am saying is that the number of balots in that one small district that were voided was out of line and was directly traced to a confusing balot design that was only used in that area. What I said, is if it had not been for that confusing balot and the voters of Palm Beach had their votes counted for the person thay intended to be president, Bush would have lost Florida . In addition, Bush got 500,000 fewer votes then Gore in 2000 overall. Thus, we did NOT GET THE PERSON the majority voted for in 2000 - in Florida or in the total votes cast Bush is an mistake no matter how you look at it and we are paying dearly for that error and will be for many years to come.

The 3,500 votes in Palm Beach County were VOIDED because they were double punched. They were NOT COUNTED. As I have said, if those 3,500 voters who made an error by punching the balot for the third party candidate ( Top Position) and asked for a new balot to correct their vote properly by punching the NEW balot for Gore ( second position), Bush would have lost Florida by just under 3,000 votes.


Wrong col. Those the recount was done, and included all hanging chads, miscounts, and everything Gore wanted. Bush still won. However, Daiwa has a point. How many votes around the country were "voided". You lost col, get over it.

The Democrats believed the lies about WMD and the danger to the US from Saddam. Had the data that intelligence agents had and were afraid to bring forward, the Senate would never have voted for the war. Knowing what we know today, do any of you Bushies believe the Senate would approved the war resolution today?


Col, I can quote democrats saying Saddam was a threat and had WMD's before Bush was in office. Were they lying then?

It was not confusing ballot design, it was the stupid people filling them out. Kindergartners filled out the ballots correctly col, that should tell you something. What about the who left the voting lines early because the media called Florida early. How many thousands of votes would you like to speculate was lost for Bush. It's really sad you can't let go and get over this. Bush won col, and there's nothing you can do about it.


Thus, we did NOT GET THE PERSON the majority voted for in 2000 - in Florida or in the total votes cast Bush is an mistake no matter how you look at it and we are paying dearly for that error and will be for many years to come.


Col, you just don't get it do you. You are so out of touch it's not even funny anymore. There was no error col. Bush was elected twice. The people had a chance to correct your so-called mistake, and they voted for Bush again. That should tell you that you are in the minority in this country. You only represent the left wing that nobody cares about.

MAJOR point there col. showing you wrong once again. If what you say is/was true about the 2000 election then why was he voted back in for a second term by a majority in 2004?
