Shrub admits that war in Iraq is just a waste of time/money
From his campaign 'speech' on Veteran's Day


Some have also argued that extremism has been strengthened by the actions in Iraq -- claiming that our presence in that country has somehow caused or triggered the rage of radicals. I would remind them that we were not in Iraq on September the 11th, 2001. (Applause.) The hatred of the radicals existed before Iraq was an issue, and it will exist after Iraq is no longer an excuse. The government of Russia did not support Operation Iraqi Freedom -- and, yet, the militants killed more than 150 Russian schoolchildren in Beslan.

emphasis added

Bring them home George, stop filling the pockets of your friends and the graveyards of our nation. Stop robbing our future of it's wealth - both in terms of cash and bright young lives that are being killed and wounded.

You've said it yourself now - the hatred that fuels your "War on Terror" is still going to be there after all the troops and money that we've spent filling the Halliburton coffers. Honor their sacrifice - Bring them home. We'll sort out your lies and punishment laster, bring them home now.

Russia has their own problem, CHECHNYA. Muslims yes, nothing to do with Iraq.

2. I get so sick of this jackass trying to tie Iraq to 9/11
That's right, Liar in Chief. We were not in Iraq on 9/11. And nobody in Iraq had a single thing to do with 9/11 in any way, as you very well know. Al Qaeda had no presence there, now they do. Thanks to you, there's plenty of people now in Iraq who would now love to blow us up.
