We were Never at WAR with Iraq...

^^^^^
Officially declared or not a war is a war.

Ask the family members of the 4500+ who died in Iraq or the 50,000+ who died in Vietnam or the 50,000+ who died in Korea whether or not their loved ones died in a war.

Legal definitions not with standing - WORDS count. A rose by any other name is yet a rose and and a war by any other name is yet a war.

Your emotional argument aside, WORDS do count. A Congressional Declaration of War is a set of words that count more than any other on the subject.

Back to your emotional argument, Ask the family members of the 4500+ who died in Iraq or the 50,000+ who died in Vietnam or the 50,000+ who died in Korea whether they'd prefer that their loved on died in a war that was important enough for the government of the United States to fully back by properly declaring it as such, rather than a "conflict" that was more easily abandoned in case the going got too tough?

See, you're not the only one that can play on people's emotions!

Touche'...

That said: playing on people's emotions is a technique proven to sway the masses.

Only works on the less intelligent though. Way less intelligent because it's a technique fairly easy to see thru.

Some can and some can't - see thru it that is. Probably explains the preponderance of libtards in the main stream media and democrats in unions.

Is it over, did we win? Did we get control of the oil?

Last US troops leave Iraq as war ends

"KHABARI CROSSING, Kuwait (AP) — The last U.S. soldiers rolled out of Iraq across the border into neighboring Kuwait at daybreak Sunday, whooping, fist bumping and hugging each other in a burst of joy and relief. Their convoy's exit marked the end of a bitterly divisive war that raged for nearly nine years and left Iraq shattered, with troubling questions lingering over whether the Arab nation will remain a steadfast U.S. ally.

The mission cost nearly 4,500 American and well more than 100,000 Iraqi lives and $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury. The question of whether it was worth it all is yet unanswered."

Pretty soon people will be posting about how "They attacked us because they hate our freedom". War or not, we don't deploy to serve our country and fight for freedom, we deploy because it boosts our paychecks...
