Well that explains "American interests."

Again I ask, Refresh my memory. Why are we fighting there? Are we still looking for Osama?

Because we were attacked ... don't ask me how it turned into a side show.

I feel ya. Fast foods were the traditional place for teenagers to get their first job. Now even those are being taken by adults. People look for relief somehow, but just aren't finding it. I hope your parents are understanding that it is very hard to get gainful employment. Our government has let us down with dispensing funds in the wrong places and helping very little to those who truly need it. Whether we want to realize it or not, we are all on a sinking ship. It's just some are either naive or "too high and mighty" to start bailing water. While others sit on the bridge thinking the water will never reach them.

You know the funny thing now is that kids that learn a trade, electrician, plumber etc stand a much better chance of gainful empoyment than those who go to a university for a BA degree. Plus in the western
education system now allows nobody to fail.

I thought we went over there to find Osama. Then it was because the taliban supported terrorists, then it was because the taliban were attacking american interests, then it was because the Taliban was invading US allies. And Iraq was because he helped the terrorists. Then it went to looking for weapons of mass destruction, then it went to preventing genocide, then it went to helping them to acheive freedom and a democratic government.

So does anyone know the reason? Or is the media confused and just reporting what ever gets ratings?

Iraq, because Daddy did not get the job done the first time because of Saudia Arabia and other arab oil producing countries, saying wait a minute, you want oil??
Saudia Arabia is the problem with their extreme religous point of view

This war turned into another Vietnam 7 years ago.

Because President Obama reneged on his campaign promise?

He promised "change" in the Middle East. Where is it?

Oh wait, maybe he realized that the Bush Administration wasn't quite so wrong after all?!?!...

Or maybe there is another reason, that we are not privey to? This would explain the every changing cover stories.
Sounds better than, "Because they threatened my father."

the problem with 1st word leaders (presidents,prime ministers) is before they are elected they sprout all these things they want to do.
then when they get elected reality hits big when they are sat down and told what they are to do and say and act, after all they are only spokes persons and dont run the country
