Quote:Not using google but iirc it was George W to invade Iraq.


Which to me was a colossal mistake and next to nothing good has come from it.


I argue we use our military way to fluidly I'm for use of military power in direct defense of our nation. The last time we had a reason to go to war and went to war was in ww2 just about every conflict since then has been our policing policy it doesn't work.

 

I commend you for not using google to come up with the answer that you gave, even though the answer is incorrect.  The correct answer is WWII.  Our country has not "officially declared war" under the rules of our Constitution since WWII.

 

Contrary to what you believe and what the media tells you these days, going into Iraq was a proper thing and was not a "failure".  Contrary to what the media says, going into Iraq and eliminating the regime (Saddam  Hussein and his sons) was a good thing.  The "direct defense of our nation" is not really clear to most people.  The argument most brought up is the finding or not finding the "weapons of mass destruction".  There is evidence that said weapons not only existed, but they were used on the very people within the country.

 

Conflicts since WWII were not in fact a "policing" policy.

 

What started the Korean War and why did America get involved?  It certainly was not because of our "policing policy", it was more along the lines of atrocities being done by the North Korean regime towards it's own people (not much difference between that and what Saddam Hussein was doing to his people).
