The million that died from the war probably aren't too happy. Also the cities that were destroyed and economy that was destroyed etc.

From a moral standpoint I think you can at least appreciate that killing an unarmed man - no matter how much you don't like them - is unjustified. I am pretty sure a well trained elite team can overpower a 50 year old man in his pyjamas, so there is really no excuse for killing rather than detaining.
I entirely agree with you, apart from the fact that he was scrambling for an AK, and wasn't not cowering behind his wife, she jumped in front of him to protect him. This is the common story, and can be found on CNN, ABC, and many other credible news sources.
I think there would be quite an outrage if soldiers attacked sleeping enemies and slaughtered them.
You expect there to be 'honor' in warfare? If the next day, they are going to shove explosives in their ass and try to blow you up, would you let them live on account of the fact that they are sleeping? Would you rather the team of seals be sent in at daytime, while guards are all armed to the teeth?
However the worst part is when Americans refer to the killing of Osama as 'justice'. Actually, the really sickening part is when Americans go on about 'oh how weak Osama was, I heard he was huddled and crying and begging for his life and even cowering behind his wife, haha what a loser. I'm glad they killed him'. Whenever an American says something like that it makes me sick to my stomach.
Its because you have a fairly anti-american stomach.
This is the kind of behaviour which is an indicator of a psychopath... I guess the most troubling part of this situation is that the majority of USA are showing psychopathic tendencies.
A psychopath is a person that lacks empathy. Something to do with their amygdala or something(psychology is rusty). Your claims of the majority of the USA showing psychopathic tendencies is idiotic. Go drown a bucket of puppies on national television, see how we react.
I think you are really scraping the bottom when you say someone is wrong in saying;
'9 years' instead of '8 years and 270 days'
'4500' instead of '4483'
'800 billion' (obvious typo was made) instead of '757.8 billion' ignoring your other source
And 1,000,000 dead Iraqis vs 103,536 to 113,125 casualties as a a result of the war. Notice you are both talking about different things, the 1 million includes deaths from food shortages, infrastructure failure, in other words it is 'how many people died as a result of the war' as opposed to 'how many people were killed by the war'.
Its ironic that you are the one saying this, seeing as this is what you do in every argument.
The current purpose of the war is to support stability and rebuilding of the nation, correct? In my opinion although the war should never have been started nor have gone this far, nor should USA have carpet bombed civilian targets, etc, in short there were a lot of mistakes and bad things, however it is irresponsible of the USA to pull out now.
I agree with you, but, I also disagree with your last statement. Our troops don't need to be there. We took out the tyrannical Saddam Hussein. Mission accomplished, as far as i'm concerned.
But I guess if you consider that USA is the main target of the insurgents, and internal and international pressures, maybe it is the right move. Allied forces are less at risk and without the US presence the region stands a better chance of stabilizing.

Both of these statements are incredibly stupid. Gormon: banned for preaching 'cite sources' and not following, hyde: please try to keep up your post quality above 'completely idiotic', even when dealing with the completely idiotic. By the way if anyone is confused as to why I banned gormon for that it's because I consider his accounts ban fodder, and see no reason not to ban him for minor things.
