Because the stupid, violent chimp refused to heed its daddy's warning that toppling saddam would plunge the area into power vacuum?
Because they made a dogs dinner of it.
- that's why.

Voted : Bush & war profiteers want to control Iraqi oil
I thought it had more to do with poor planning than oil or Israel.
I wanna get one of those power vacuums like a Dyson. You can really see all the dirt and debris whirling around and around...
Yeah but you should know that importing more than exporting is not always a bad thing. apply simple economics to it and you can figure it out. I'll give you a head start. Most countries don't make their money off of exports alone. You make it off imports. You have taxes on imports. if your citizens can afford to buy the merchandise and do buy them you become indispensible to the world market. The more goods that come in the more hard currency you make. If you have a $13 tril economy and you have exports of $1 tril, the basic economic models should tell you something. Just one point. I've read a few of your posts. I don't think you really grasp the economy of the USa at all. Do you really understand economimcs?
I also dont think you know what the supposed debt is. Its spending more than budgeted. It doesn't mean the money isn't there to spend, it just means that each fiscal year the government establishes a budget. I think its about $2.5 trillion. They spend more than that every year because things like Katrina come up. They don't borrow the money to finance what they spend over the budget, they take money from other sources and spend it to cover the budget shortfalls. Do you know the difference? Its the same as you taking money you were going to spend on an iPod and instead using it to buy a new tv. You just took it from one account and used it elsewhere. Trust me on this issue I know what I'm talking about. message me if you want to learn how the world economy is structured and find out that almost every country has massive debt. Its not unplanned. As to why were still in IRaq it has nothing to do with oil and nothing to do with our economy. I noted you mentioned that in another ballot. Thats really way off track.
So it's all funds that should have been spent on education, health, pensions, etc.? That'll make people feel better.
I didnt say I liked it or agreed with it, did I? nope. Simply pointed out a fact that any institutional trader or any economist that is not biased will tell you. I think it sucks. its why both parties need to stick to a balanced budget. They don't because of special interests. Research pork barrel spending
Voted : War profiteers want to keep earning big profits from arms sales & ongoing wars
(As soon as I heard of this war I told everyone I knew, online and in real life, that we'd be there for years, probably more like a decade. Now I don't usually go crazy with Told-You-So's, But as amazed as people act that we're still at war there- it makes me want to slap someone's fat stupid face.)

** karma **
Voted : The US wants to control that region for military advantage
More simply, the government in place now isnt entirely willing to submit to the whims of the Bush Admin, despite all the cash that's been poured into the region.
WHY IS THE USA STILL IN IRAQ AFTER 4 YEARS? (is the question) The vote: Why, was there a time limit? Since when did conflicts have deadlines?? DOES NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!
^^Sure does. Accept it. Just like you accept comics and photographs as valid comments. Oh how I love sour grapes!
one of these reasons could very possibly be it but in all honestly i don't think anyone knows especially our president that is really sad
Voted : Bush & Cheney didn't like Sadam selling Iraqi oil & defying the will of Israelis
yeah...that is what i am wondering too blackcat....very good ballot
Why kind of question is this!! Its a war my man its not going be a couple hours than both nations give up. As long as the terrorist keep coming in and putting up a fight the Americans are going to keep coming in and putting up a fight. Also almost every nation has a debt.
Because when they said less than 6 'months' they meant 'years' which are comprised of months. Geez people.
Voted : Halliburton.
Halliburton.
"why is the US still in iraq after 4 years" Answer: to confuse the shit out of europe
Voted : Nation-building
The same answer as: "Why is France and Germany still in Afghanistan after all these years?" And: "Why is NATO still in Kosovo after all these years?" The answer is: nation-building, obviously.
The majority of voters don't seem to have grasped this? I'm not surprised.
Voted : We're looking for Osama Bin Laden and trying to build up the area.
Obviously this is a rant. I can't believe people still don't want revenge for what Bin Laden did to us on September 11, 2001. I'm not proud of America anymore.
