By: Anthony Mushaw Iraq“The Truths of the War”
WMD = Hoax? • The United States Army was sent to numerous locations within Iraq looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction. Simply following orders no one really checked the factual side to there was no layed out proof of the WMD’s. • Does this mean that because of some people who were scared and thinking the worst that this war was avoidable and without need to cause such tensions between countries as we have done now?
Why? • Following 9/11 around 50% of all American Soldiers in every department were sent to Afghanistan and Iraq. • Apparently information suggested that these country’s withheld WMD’s. • What information though, we will never know? George Bush and his administration sent numerous missions to places all over the country looking and apparently had Intel on. Not one spot came up hot out of all Intel received. Explanation???
Bush Administrations… • Decisions: (Right or Wrong) • Many choices the affected our country, most for the worse were made under Bush and his members of his administration. • A book was written in 2008 regarding all actions performed by the Bush Administration and only a year later it was defined by Fox and numerous other companies to be known as the “death book” or “death panels.” • This man’s choices, George W. Bush was slowly killing us and he just kept “pushing on the wound.” People have to make choices for not what you believe is better but what your country and people your representing believe is right.
Consequences as we stand now… • American Deaths = 5,404 • Americans Wounded = 30,182 • Iraqi Civilian Deaths = 104,338 • Economic costs = Over $3 Trillion • Now our military is weaker and not getting much stronger. Only time will tell, in I believe that a draft just might happen if we don’t act soon.
The Transition • Finally what many believe as the problem has been removed, and another has stepped forward to replace and accomplish what the one before could not. • President Barrack Obama has “talked the talk” and from listening has exceptional plans that will pull us from the hole we reside. • Now it is time for him to “walk the walk” and show us how he will complete all tasks he says he has on his plate. If Obama’s ideas follow through our country might just be saved and be on that verge very easily.
Present Day • We stand now with a new leader and everything based on trust apparently. Our goals are promising its just the follow through that will lock the deal. • What’s behind us now can’t be fixed, even if is got us in the deepest whole since the depression.Our soldiers are still over there fighting everyday as we sit here. Is there anything else we can do to screw this country up more?
Military Tribute • Our soldiers give everything for us and people don’t realize even half of what is must be like. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyXYot6wHuE
