%26quot;...it changed into a nation-building mission, and that's where the missionwent wrong. The mission was changed. And as a result, our nation paid a price. And so I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation-building.%26quot;
GW Bush--2nd Bush-Gore Presidential Debates
October 11, 2000.Why over the last 4 years have U.S. troops been on a nation-building mission in Iraq?I wouldn't exactly call what we've been doing for the last 4.5 years as %26quot;nation-building%26quot;. More like %26quot;terrorist breeding%26quot;.Why over the last 4 years have U.S. troops been on a nation-building mission in Iraq?Yes, Bush was against it until he decided it worked as a means to achieve his goals....
All politicians flip-flop -- some just admit it and claim to have valid reasons for their change of heart. Others deny they do it, and just look foolish.Why over the last 4 years have U.S. troops been on a nation-building mission in Iraq?We need a leader in the White Houseyou can't build a nation with gunsWe are there deffending the peace... we also take the RESPONSIBILITY (a word libs hate) to help rebuild a nation that has just been through extremely difficult circumstances... should the plan have been to just go in... take out the dictator and terrorists... and then leave the country in shambles and ruins? Perhaps that is the liberal point of view... but conservatives have compassion for others and see fit to help them rebuild.... yes companies will make money doing it... (most companies do make money... they also employ people)
BTW... I thought it was big bad companies like Haliburton who were doing the building... not our troops...
