I do support our troops as I realize many of them were duped into joining the military with the promise of a free education and veterans benefits.
You're supposed to be supporting the efforts of your country to defeat the insurgents, and leave Iraq qith a working consitutional democracy. Your post above reflects nothing real other than your detestation of your country. If you think that we're there to take over the Iraqi oil industry other than for some limited period to get it up and running, provide evidence. I suppose you could accuse president Bush of secretly executing widows and orphans by firing squad in the White House, but it wouldn't make it true.
As I recall, the Iraq people didn't ask us to "rescue" them. Actually, when Saddam was in power he may have been a tyrannical dictator but the people had free education, free medical care and well maintained roads, among other things. But we took care of all that! I would never support a country that condones the killing of innocent men, women and children -- but maybe that's just me. Theis war has cost 150,000 lives and a trillion dollars. Was it worth it? I think not.
btw there is no such thing as a wrong opinion. Stupid opinions yes, the bushlickers prove that, but wrong? No. They are opinions.
