Debate Oratory
This is my iraq war essay with a bunch of stuff added in. enjoy!
In 2001, 9/11 happened. Soon after that, Congress decided to invade Iraq. (That’s right, CONGRESS decided to invade Iraq, Bush didn’t just go out on this all out invasion against congress like everyone thought) Eventually Saddam Hussein was captured. So why are we still there? Ill tell you why. Because of all our troops there, it has attracted terrorists local to that area. So we have them right where we want them now, out of hiding. Another reason is because we want to create a self-sustaining democracy.
In the 40s people donated their time and money to the great cause. More than that they donated their spirit. America fought a tough battle for 4 years. Lost a lot of good men and women, caused some innocent casualties, but stayed the course and got the job done.
Forget about how our men and women are dying all over the globe protecting freedom. Forget about how we have liberated millions of Islamic women and children from a life of oppression. Forget about the freedom and opportunity that this country has given millions. Forget about all the good that we do in the world. Instead, all you hear from liberals and media is a constant attack on the good nature of our country. And the brainless peasants are starting to let it get to them.
But don’t let the liberal attack machine get you. Sometimes they’ll say, “Saddam had no WMD’s but this is not true.
Saddam has been in power since 1979. He invaded Kuwait in 1990. We came to their rescue, and got Saddam out of there. You can imagine Saddams anger toward us. He obviously was building up military strength since he first came into power, enough to challenge the power of the U.S. But then he lost, and has been reaccumulating ever since (keep in mind bush's dad was in office at this time). I think he made a deal with al quida, and became the terrorist "patron" if you will. With the help of al quida, he got back up on his feet, and reassessed his strength (Saddam Hussein had the 4th most powerful army before we went to war with him) and prepared to declare war on America by having al quida orchestrate some terrorists attacks (9/11)
After the Gulf War, Iraq continued its weapons of mass destruction programs in defiance of UN resolutions and restrictions. Baghdad has chemical and biological weapons as well as missiles with ranges in excess of UN restrictions. Since inspections ended in 1998, Iraq maintained its chemical weapons effort, energized its missile program, and invested more heavily in biological weapons; most analysts assess Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. After 9/11, bush saw that saddam needed to be taken out, because saddam pulled this same trick 11 years ago on his dad. He knew what needed to be done, so he did it. Those in this country who didn’t have enough foresight and awareness to see it coming, thought that bush went to war for no reason, just wanted the oil.
It’s that ignorant class that thinks the whole world can just sit down and sing koombiyah. It’s just not that simple. The truth is that freedom is not free. There are people out there that want to destroy us. And the conservatives in charge of this country have made the right decision, and have decided to do something about it.
This is the part I have the most trouble understanding. If we were really invading Iraq for its oil, we would have tons of oil now, wouldn’t we? And plus if this was really true, the entire world would be outraged! A country conquering other countries for its natural resources? The truth is that it’s only the democrats who are outraged on that one.
Another point of the liberal attack machine is they will say “but were still killing innocent Iraqi civilians! This is wrong!” Yes it is, but I will ask you to broaden your horizons for a little bit. Consider this. What would happen if we didn’t go to war with Iraq? The evidence I’ve compiled and my reasoning has made it quite easy to see that Iraq WAS a threat, so what would have happened if we ignored this threat? Well, first of all, Saddam would have kept on gassing his people, like he had been doing for years now. If he kept torturing and killing his people, he would have caused a lot more deaths than we ever could. Imagine Saddam twenty years from now. From all of the torturing, he would have killed a lot more than 100,000 deaths. Not to mention the position of power he would have been in, enough to challenge the U.S.
The liberals will also say stuff like “We attacked Iraq first, and without any evidence of weapons of mass destruction! No matter what you say, we still haven’t found them and therefore your argument is worthless!”
And that is truly sad. The fact is, liberals are convinced only by what they see or don’t see. Guess what that is also called? Atheism. That ideology is all really the same thing. I don’t see it, feel it, taste it, smell it, so it isn’t real and that’s the bottom line. Well, mark my words; this ideology of the liberals is going to bite them in the butt someday. We Conservatives aren’t always going to be around to correct their mistakes.
Example? What I’ve been talking about. To sum this all up, to go to war with Iraq was the right decision, but the shortsighted liberals will never see that, will continue to whine and complain, while we keep them secure by keeping on the offensive on terrorism. We’re pretty much the liberal’s security blanket, and if the liberals made the decisions they wanted, this country would be screwed.
There is a poster in my English class that says, “You can’t be all that you can be if you’re dead” There is a mother named Cindy Sheehan whose son died in Iraq. She wants to meet President Bush, and ask him why he killed her son. Well let me tell you something, Cindy Sheehan. Bush didn’t “kill” your son. Your son died in the United States Armed Forces, and there is NOTHING more honorable than that! When you say the things you say, not only are you dishonoring your own son, but you’re dishonoring every soldier that ever stepped up to the plate and fought in Iraq!

"I think"?!!!
Rubbish. Substantiate it. Provide Sources. Just becasue you can talk a lot and insult an entire political movement doesn't make you right. I'm sure the republican's will love it. But I hate it.
And is it wrong for a mother to ask question's about why her son died? Or is she not allowed because that's dishonorable. You seem to think she shouldn't question a single decision based on the fact that the army is good institution.
You avoid facing the truly difficult questions by making people feel quilty that they shouldn't be asking questions.
Here's an unsubstantiated opinion for you, I think you're comments are everything that the Republican party and America doesn't need right now, ignorance at the truth and arrogance at the way you think whatever America does is in the intrest of the entire world. You're wrong.
Anonymous: Im not saying she doesnt have a right to question, she does. But she was only doing it for political fame. She even said so herself "Im actually glad he didnt meet with me. It would have ruined my momentum." I bet your liberal buddies didnt tell you she said that, now did they?
haha, it's funny how yet again you presume I'm Liberal(and American), and yet again you avoid answering anything prefering to presume I have "liberal buddies" you are getting my life confused with your life. I don't watch fox, nor cnn. I don't have to hear news from border-line racist talk show. I live in a country where governments are not funded by corrupt officials working to make thre richest richer.
And yes, Bush did kill her son, obviously not in the literal sense, to point that out in a debate class would be useless but through a set of policies and as a consequence of direct governance by Bush, over a 1,000 soldeirs have died, and that quote can easily be taken out of context(if it is a real quote). I expect what she means (if she actually said it) is that if she met Bush, he would be able to silence her, or at least after meeting him the media would think it's the end of her campaign.
The point is, no matter ow honorable it is to die in any institution, if there were bad decisions made at the top, as I feel happended, Bush and hisd government should pay.
and it wasnt a bad decision. My post explains that. I will not explain it again. Of course you can just deny it and call it ignorant, but whatever thats your deal.
All these things you say assume that attracting the terrorists to one place is a good thing. They're still impossible to tell apart from the surrounding population, except when they're actively blasting away at us. Sure, we could nuke the whole country (well, actually we couldn't, because the fallout would mean the end of life as we know it), but if we did all we would do is make more terrorists. And if you say liberals are short sighted, let me say this. People over there won't make any differance to us over here when oil prices start shooting through the roof. Drilling faster won't help any more than taking cookies out of the jar would make more cookies.
"I think the most frustrating thing is there's no sense of accomplishment," Williams said. "You're biding your time and waiting. But then you lose your friends, and it's not even for their own country's freedom."
This is a quote from Marine Lance Cpl. Travis Williams, who is currently serving in Iraq and recently lost 11 members of his squad to a roadside bombing. Please just think about that statement.
"I think" that for your age you are doing a marvelous job and probably present your ideas better than the great majority of 13 year olds in this country. "I think" you are remarkable. And I base this opinion on the evidence at www.bushisnotantichrist.blogspot.

"All these things you say assume that attracting the terrorists to one place is a good thing. They're still impossible to tell apart from the surrounding population, except when they're actively blasting away at us."
It is a good thing! And yes we can tell the difference because the Kurds and Shiites love us and the terrorists want to blow our brains out. When you see a guy walking toward you with an AK-47 or a odd back-pack, would the assumption be good guy or bad guy?
You said:
"Your son died in the United States Armed Forces, and there is NOTHING more honorable than that!"
Well, bad-educated rich (but poor minded) guy: why don't YOU go to fight in iraq, eh?
Go there, and then tell us what do you think.
Now you are in your comfortable house, so you have no honour at all.
Go and die in Iraq!
Diego
first of all, Im 15, so I cant. Second of all, your distracting from the issue, weather I want to go fight in iraq or not is MY decision. And its completley off topic.
Ok heres what really happend: when Bush was elected in 2000 he and his cabinet developed a long term peace strategy for the middle east. They sought to create a beacon of freedom and democracy that the rest of the islam nations would learn from and imitate. After 9/11 he saw his opportunity. By attacking brown people and calling them terrorists he played on the rabid nationalistic fear that existed in the country at the time. He promised us a massive and deadly stockpile of WMD's, and a clear and dangerous link to Al Quada, neither of which has come to fruition. Now we are mired in another country's civil war. These arent terrorists that fire RPG's at American convoys, they are just Iraqi men age 16-45 who want us the hell out of their country. "We have them right where we want them" Yeah totally. Thats why casualties rise every day and we have no exit strategy. We forced democracy down a nations throat and they vomited it back up at us in the form of violence and resentment. Billions of dollars and thousands of lives have been spent to accomplish NOTHING. Furthermore, where do you get the balls to tell a mother she is dishonoring her son.
Anyone who has read the Bible for themselves knows that Bush is the anti christ, the W in "that Wicked" Thess 2;8 KJV. This has nothing to do with Politics. Bush is not our "enemy". We have no enemy who is flesh and blood. All these things are discerned with the gift of the Holy Comforter. You will never understand what's happening if you depend only own your mind which is clouded with programs since you were born. Only with the blood of the Lamb and the mind of Christ will you ever truely be able to see.There is no "private interpretation of prophecy in Scripture". Everyone who ask will receive. Those who seek shall find. Isaiah 14 tells us that LUCIFER is King of Babylon. Jerimiah 50 & 51 that the USA is Babylon. If these simple things remain invisable to you then you still see through a glass darkly. Jesus Heals and brings sight. You should not try and stop Bush any more than Jesus wanted to stop Judas Iscariot. These things were predestined from the very foundation of the earth just as your DNA was established at your very conception. This Catharsis must happen. "Let the unjust be unjust still", (Rev 22)
