Hey...I cannot be blamed for the actions of our president. He's wrong, and so is Tony Blair.
There are no 'WMD's', and we all know it.
BUT.. support the troops at least.

I don't supportUS troops. They are poorly trained and are murdering innocent civilians.

They get paidvery poorly though. Only 1000 $ a month and no compensation for being stationed abroad. I know that many of their wives need welfare support...

so going intoIraq wasn't to secure the oil supply?? Oh really?
I enjoy a good argument, however you don't seem to really have the intelligence to understand half of what is being said to you. Unfortunately this is too much of a one sided argument so I'm going to give up and leave you to your misinformed, childish, bigoted, xenophobic, racist views.

soldiers are there because they have to bereporters are in the way because they're stupid. It would take a VERY big paycheck for me to stand in the vicinity of a 22 year old with a machine gun. Especially if he's done nothing since he was 18 other than get psychologically fucked with so that he will be hoping, not only willing, to shoot something. Reporters either know what the risks are (in which case it was their decision) or not (in which case killing them probably raised the average IQ).

Let's try a little reason, shall we?Wow, look at all the hateful bashing of the colonies.... I have several points to make on this
1) The US military is not poorly trained, just trigger happy. I was in the US military and also took advantage of opportunities to train with British, French, Australian, Tongan, Japanese armed forces. My biased opinion is that the average US infantry marine could stomp any other infantry soldier.
2) The job of any government is to provide for the best intrests of the country it represents. Any drivel about oppression, fairness or any other bleeding-heart sentimentality is just bullshit and doesn't belong in a political environment where jobs need to get done.
3) The US soldiers may have been the first in combat in Iraq, but they're not the only ones... Until your country/countries pull all their troops out, shut your cockholsters.
4) America is no more a "teenager flexing it's muscles" than britain was when the phrase 'the sun never sets on the British empire' was true. You had your time, you're in no position to judge.

Innocent civilians?You mean those guys wearing civilian clothes that keep shooting at the troops? Yeah, our troops have been trained to return fire. Shame on them.
In the meantime, lets forget about the thousands of UNARMED innocent civilians they killed in the world trade center. Let's also forget that they've been killing each other for thousands of years now, just not as effectively as we can.

innocent civilians?how about the innocent civilians who've died in this wholly unjustified "war"? how about the innocent civilians who die at the hands of the state of israel, whom we support financially? how about the innocent civilians in central america who die at the hands of generals trained by OUR military, in Georgia? I am an American who, like the rest of the world, is more than fed up with American militarism.
perhaps it is not the fault of the soldiers... but you know, if you look at it that way, the holocaust wasn't the fault of the german civilians who were "just doing their job" killing the jews, either. i don't buy that "it's what they were trained to do" garbage. it's KILLING A HUMAN BEING, no matter how you look at it. killing to avenge killing in no way should be an acceptable foreign policy. didn't ghandi say an eye for an eye makes the world go blind?
i will never, EVER, say i support the troops. until the day supporting the troops means bringing them home to their families, where they belong.

Welcome to Earth.People have killed people for as long as they've been around. Killing happens, it's not a fun reality, but it's reality nontheless. There's lots of things about the world that suck, get over it.

why support the troopswhat they are doing is wrong - I cannot support any of it.
We are not blaiming you directly. Thats the problem with america is they now think everyone is out to get them. They arn't. 90% are just trying to survive. I cannot condone any acts of terrorism or war or capitalisic genocide/torture/rape.

Maybe part of the reason for the US's paranoiais that we're constantly being put on the defensive for anything that our government does... Have the posts on this thread are a perfect example.
