No, there is and was a coalition of thirity-two countries.

Let's find a new issue other than Iraq to mindlessly argue about, ok?

Each of which was indespensible to the war effort. Especially Albania - Or some country that sounds like it.

So we're allowed to say the coalition was indespensible, but the UN isn't indespensible? I see...

Jonbo I'm gonna have to say the UN didn't want us to go in there because FOOD for OIL I mean if you look at what they were doing to the middle east they wouldn't want us to go there because they were ass raping those people

Between 1996 and 2003, the program generated over $63 billion in revenues for the Iraqi regime. With little oversight from the U.N., the Iraqi dictatorship was able both to circumvent and to exploit the oil-for-food program. It is suspected of selling its oil at bargain basement prices that benefited numerous middlemen while overpaying for various imports, which allowed it to reward suppliers. The program was officially brought to an end in November 2003.[3]

Read that..

And I do believe that I have been saying this about Oil for Food for well over a year. I don't want to say "I told you so", but well, when the shoe fits...

Ok. Something besides Iraq. How about this post I made on the first page.

It's said in the constitution we are but yet Republicans think they can ban it because its "immoral". Leave it to the states to decide.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but he's completely against abortion. I agree with the partial abortion ban but I don't want a full abortion ban. the first 3 months are fine becuase its the mother's child, NOT THE GOVERNMENTS CHILD.

And another reason. He doesn't want stem cell research. That pisses me off just as much as the same sex ban. Stem cell research is gonna bring promising things in the future but when you have an asshole who wants to block research that could one day lead to a cure for many diseases/forms of cancer, thats when I draw the line.

And I also agree that the Patriot Act is making the US look more and more like 1984. Bush took advantage of 9/11 by rushing this bill through congress within months after 9/11 which at that time all but one (black female I believe..can't remember name) voted for it without even reading the bill completely (thats my opinion but its basically true). If they took the time to read it, they would've said no to quite a few things in it but back then they were brainwashed, IMO.

and btw..I'm no political expert or anything. I skew some things by accident. Its human nature. Tear me apart

Just noticed this.. tired now about to go to bed but I have to say first. We never once asked for troops we simply said if you want to help in the rebuilding of this country and want to have anything here you will send troops to the region to support the effort.. If you notice there are no UN troops there there aren't any wearing the UN brand on their uniform there is strictly countries there that are supporting the US war effort and since they jumped in the UN has been saving face for lack of a better term by saying well lets support the ones already there..
