Since Iraq has no connection to September 11th, President Bush calls for America’s defense saying, "Year after year, Saddam Hussein has gone to elaborate lengths, spent enormous sums, taken great risks to build and keep weapons of mass destruction”
Although before this statement by the president, the United Nation’s weapon’s inspectors found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Proving that Iraq did indeed disarm all of their weapons, and Bush had no justification for war. But President Bush still turns his back on an organization we are committed and invades Iraq primarily alone. Sadly, we have been in Iraq for over a year now, and we have found no trace of Saddam Hussein having any weapons of mass destruction. The “imminent” threat President Bush told us Saddam was, is in-diffidently no threat to the American people. Whether it was bad intelligence, or just plain lies, the Bush administration used deception, and the emotion after September 11th to greatly influence the support for the Iraq war.
This poor judgment by our President has made our deficit exceed to 7 trillion dollars. With this shortage of money, we are not able to properly go into Iraq, almost solely alone. The Pentagon is asking for yet another 500 billion dollars to fund the Iraq war, because of Bush’s overspending and miss calculations. When is this deficit going to end, and when are the American people going to see the positive effects of this spending?
With the limited amount of soldiers we are able to send, we cannot properly occupy two countries (Afghanistan, and Iraq), without world support. We do not have enough soldiers in Iraq, and we need to lessen the burden on us. President Bush is over stretching our army, according to many US military officials. Then he even has the guts to ask the troops to stay longer then originally planned. This all supports we cannot occupy Iraq alone. According To Yahoo News, 21 people were attacked and killed in an Iraqi prison, proving we do not have the manpower or soldiers in Iraq to keep peace.
If America had truly spent 100% of it’s energy on fighting terrorism and not in Iraq we would be much farther along in securing America. After terrorists bombed our ally Spain the world is no more peaceful than if Saddam was in office. This attack proves that taking Saddam out of power has done nothing to prevent, and effectively stop terrorists’ motives in committing terror around the world.
European Commission President, Romano Prodi, stated, "It happens in Iraq as elsewhere - Istanbul, Moscow, Madrid. The terrorism that the war in Iraq was supposed to stop is infinitely more powerful today than it was a year ago." That statement supports that this Iraq war is doing nothing but giving the terrorists more time to plot against the United States.
A poll was taken on MSNBC, and the majority of Americans are still in fear of attacks on America. They are in fear of an attack on the Olympics…and in any major city. Plus with Bush’s constant reminder to keep us in fear of terrorism, isn’t helping much. But isn’t it his job, to make us feel secure and make America safer? It seems to the majority of Americans that America is indeed less safe now, then ever before.
In this Iraq war we bomb buildings that civilians work at, and kill innocent lives, which has reached up to 10,743 civilian casualties. The civilians that we have quote “liberated” have in return attacked and killed our own troops. The Iraqi people are not happy with American patrol. With their lands in ruins, shortages of basic life necessities, they have in return revolted against American’s being in Iraq. Also, according to MSNBC, Iraqis dragged muliated bodies(who happened to be Americans) through the streets hung them from a bridge, chanting anti-American slogans. Proving the Iraqis are willing to go to elaborate lengths to attack and kill Americans in Iraq. So we are helping civilians, of which many don’t want our help or our presence.
It is un-doubtable that this Iraq war is not just. With no links to September 11th, no threat to America, for Iraq has no WMD’s. While our deficit is increasing, and the Pentagon is now asking for more…because of Bush’s miss planning. We do not have the backing of the United Nations, our troops are dying, the Iraqis are revolting, and we are indefinitely giving terrorists more time to plot against Americans.
