What is most important to your position on the War in Iraq?

Question

What the President tells you?

What the Presidential Candidates tell you?

What the soldiers tell you?

What the enemy tells you?

What the media shows you?

Or the facts about the situation, the enemy and the friendlies?

If I told you at least three of the above are telling you the same thing and that it is at least partially in agreement with the last one, would it change it change your position?

Or would you only be interested in regurgitating the slogans of a particular candidate/party?

I've assessed the information from the Brookings Institute from a military standpoint on my blog: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-DfkctJU7dK5B7LcNROoyVQ--;_ylt=AiNXZokI1G6zowgYXNnJS9nlAOJ3?cq=1

Care to peak under the tent and see the truth and comment? Disagree with my analysis or not, please provide logical arguments for your position.

Answer 1

For me it is the difference between what the news media is telling you and what I saw in Iraq.

I place great reliance on the military people because they seem to be the only people without an agenda.

Answer 2

What the soldier on the ground is the Most important.  The rest are Hear say it isn't allowed in court why should I trust it.

Answer 3

The most important position to me is we have not had a major attack on our soil since 9/11/01. BUT, we've been taking it home to them. So, in short, our boys (and girls) are over there, so they won't cut your head off over here.

Answer 4

SECURITY FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD

my friends who want to know my stance on war to understand key to the subject

Current mood: GRATEFUL FOR OR FREEDOM AND LOVE AROUND THE WORLD

Category: GRATEFUL FOR OR FREEDOM AND LOVE AROUND THE WORLD Religion and Philosophy

the reason is pretty simple if you look at it.  9/11 showed how low can the terrorist go on hating us and we need to show people that love and peace (FREEDOM AND TO FIGHT FOR IT ALL WE GET YES THE PRICE CAN BE HIGH BUT IT IS WORTH IT IF WE LOVE EACH OTHER WE CAN WORK THINGS OUT (IF THE TERRORIST ATTACK MORE IT WILL KILL MORE INNOCENT LIFE THAN WAR!!!)



Before 9/11 i was not for war for all the same reasons but 9/11 proved we can stop the terrorist with out a fight.  yes they did lie about iraq but we need to stay until they can defend themselves and other friends of ours.



ALSO THINK THEY HELP US COMMUNICATE TO IRAN AND SYRIA BUT IT DOES NOT TAKE OVER NIGHT EITHER



RUSSIA CAN GO TO h**l IF THEY NOT SUPPORTING US TO DEFEND OUR SELVES AND WHO ASK THEM WE CAN??
