Why does the news KEEP saying that?

We are NOT in Iraq to fight terrrorism but because of (missing) WMD. So WHY are we staying?

1. Ithought we were there to bring democracy to the people and freedom to

the oil.

But then I always seem to be two reasons behind.

6. But why are we still there?

We captured Saddam, we killed his sons, we gave them elections and a government, trained their Army...so why are we still there?

If W wants us to stay there forever to protect big oil, why doesn't he just call them a territory and ask them when they want statehood?

He flew in there, without their knowldege or permission, and gave them an audience.

2,500 American troops dead. Many thousands maimed and we still get no answer from the W as to why.

9. I believe he would not answer that question for Cindy Sheehan. He won't

answer it for anyone else either.

7. I agreed

BUT why doesn't the dems call him on it.......Congress approved the invasion because to the lie about a plume over DC...There was no WMD and there was no plume.They would have NEVER approved the invasion to overthrow Saddam regardless of how evil he was or how he destabilized the region.
