Iraq War Concluded

Iraq War Concludes (20 March 2003 - 31 December 2011)

8 years, 262 days
4,476 US KIA
Over 100,000 Iraqis of varying factions, combatant and non-combatant dead
Cost of over $800 billion to the US, £4.5 billion to the UK

With the exit of US personnel, NATO officially is leaving Iraq, a nation still plagued with civil war and sectarian tension between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, but with a government vowing to be an ally to NATO and committed to ending tension between the sects.














On the lighter side though!

Everyone's opinion

Ehhh.... only one thing to say: Bout damn time. Thousands of lives wasted, glad we finally cut our losses. It's a shame that the 800 billion could've gone into education or healthcare instead, so we'd actually be #1 in something aside from military.

And no Jag, that video does not reflect everyone's opinion; I never liked the war from the start; nor any recent war, for that matter.

That's redundant, because you probably wouldn't fight for your own mother for that matter.

Change your name from eaustinn36 or Dr Policy to "Buzz Killington"

Sooo... the war was just for fun then, and that we were "bored" and had nothing better to do with our money?

No. Not at all.

Then how is me disapproving of a pointless and costly war "killing your buzz"?

Can't say it was my reaction either. I was generally brought up to believe wars and people dying was a bad thing.

That's more towards the "Lighter side" which is satirical and not supposed to be accurate, but supposed to at least make you chuckle. But I forgot you don't have a sense of humor, so that's what is killing my buzz. And everybody's for that matter. God, for a smart kid, you're kind of stupid.

Because wars are ever a good thing...

*sigh*

Because there are people in the U.S. or any country that are brought up to believe wars and people dying are a great thing.

Yeah, that was the joke. I didn't think "This is pretty good" at the start, like in the video.

1. I have a sense of humor; stop being stereotypical.

2. I don't consider a costly war in where thousands of innocent people (if not near a million) were murdered. You can't really state the stuff you originally did in a thread, and then try to follow it up with a joke; it's not. I apologize if I am killing the celebration of others' suffering.

Hooray, world peace finally.

Far from it.
