ANNNNNND THERE IT IS FOLKS... finally... someone who actually knows more than what they've absorbed off tv the last 8 years. The Reagan administration developed an alliance with IRAQ over concern with Iran/Afganistan/Russia. We FED Saddam with the money, weapons, and technology he in turn used against us in this 'war'. We ACTIVELY shared military intellegence with Saddams armies during that time period as well as gave them chemicals they later turned into biological warfare. So....lets recap... we fought a war to capture a deadly criminal that WE HELPED CREATE. Now that that criminal, our Frankenstein if you will, is dead... yet we remain there? These poor kids are over there dying, not for 'protecting our freedoms', but as custodians to clean up the mess of a failed alliance, created decates prior. I HONOR those kids for WANTING to protect our shores....but I HATE our goverment for sending them to Iraq under ****ing false pretenses.
