From Beer to Paternity
I was reading back through the Politics thread and I came across a link I had posted back in October last year, I'm not going to start up the whole politics thread regarding reasons for the U.S.A.'s invasion of Iraq, but I would like people to see what Bush and I suppose his administration are doing for the troops that were sent there.
Please click HERE and express your comments, but please keep them relevant to the link.

Wow that is a powerful first video, really makes the message painful and sad.Originally Posted by NoOne
Also, what's with http://www.takebackthemedia.com/liar.html ?
What do Bush supporters say was the reason for such an inept-looking performance from a President ? I'm asking in case the clip is suffering from a bit of "moore-editing"... It IS scray adn I've never seen that shown over here, wonder if our government is applyign pressure to the BBC again

truly is painful to see what the troops have gone through in Iraq, only to find out that many of their benefits and basic support are gone when they get back.
and still, no legitimate, supported reason for this war has been given.
just gonna wait for gtface to come here and tell me how wrong we are and how Dubya is a God

hmm....
why does this type of thread keep coming up.....especially when its started by people who dont even live in America. I don't understand what your motives are....except to badmouth my President. Look i know this is a miscellaneous forum, but come on people, most of these threads are started for one goal alone....to bash anything American, because you dont approve of it...i say get your your un-american noses out of it.
It may not always start out to bash, but after about two posts it has gone overboard. I'm getting sick of people telling me how to live, how much my country is doing wrong, or not doing. I'm sick of this, its ridiculous, i have yet to see a thread bashing another country or its leaders.
And don't even try to say your motives are innocent, i'm sick of hearing that bull****.
Look i really like it here on UCP, i've been here for along time and made some friends. I don't want to leave this forum, or anything to do with this site, i like it here. But this is the kind of stuff that really bothers me and alot of other members who live in the US (not all, but some).
If this kind of stuff keeps coming up on this site, i will leave and i will take everything i've brought here with me. I dont want to do that but i will if i have to.

Granted the poster is Canadian, but that complete site is AMERICAN.

Are you Iraqi ?
Sorry, it just sounded like that.
Q: Is sarcasm a misunderstood form of humour ??
Isn't it easier to just ignore the posts ?If this kind of stuff keeps coming up on this site, i will leave and i will take everything i've brought here with me. I dont want to do that but i will if i have to.
As a believer in free speech I dont' see it is a problem as long as it isn't the majority of posts and threads. 80/20 rules are everyhwere, so expect 20% of things on UCP to upset everyone ( fortunately seldom the same 20%)
I suspect myopia is present. You want to review my coments on OUR president ( oh sorry Prime Minister ) Blair. The man's a dickhead who thinks if it makes a good story it will make good policy and if it's a shit policy as long as they can make it a good story it's fine.i have yet to see a thread bashing another country or its leaders.

Yeah, true. I mean, it's not like like the US has opinions about any other countries in the world. They keep their noses out of things.
You'll notice that a lot of good points have been made on these boards. You should try to listen to some of them. If someone brings up a terrible point about Canada (ex: the historical construction of our national railways), I'm ashamed. I don't deny or point fingers, but rather accept such faults. Instead of closing your eyes and yelling, why the hell don't you pay attention to what everyone is saying?
While you keep saying stuff like this, I hope you don't wonder why your country's international reputation is going down the tubes. We all live on the same planet, and everything has an effect on everything else.
Isn't there something to be said for freedom of speech? Or do you not believe in freedom...

first off, we're not bashing the US, but rather the administration leading the country. I love Americans as a people. of course I do, my mother is American, I have American citizenship! so u can't say to me to keep my "un-american" nose out of it. 2nd, Egg Nogg is right, this sort of attitude by the current administration is what has lead the downfall of the view of Americans around the world. there should be a man or woman in the white house that represents the country in a way that reflects what the country is really like.

A reason was given for the war, WMD, and how we were all in danger....not. I don't buy the story that BOTH the USA and GB said that no one was at fault, that's a white wash! Face it people, we got lied to!!! Twice!!! Bush is my presindent and as such I have the right to disagree with him and vote his redneck ass out of the White House.truly is painful to see what the troops have gone through in Iraq, only to find out that many of their benefits and basic support are gone when they get back.
and still, no legitimate, supported reason for this war has been given.

Just lookingat the way the Adminsitration (and the Senate and the Congress) dealt with the financial side of army staff, they may have worked under the motto: The best G1 is a dead G1. For best you may also read "cheapest"

The reason "we" went to war = Regime change.
Regime change = illeagal
Cover story = WMD

If you think that's bad, imagine what the British Soldiers have to put up with.
None of their stuff works, they keep getting shot at by the Americans, and Good old Tony wants to "reform" the Forces so that we can't actually have any sort of war without the Americans to help...
