Well it just so happens the countries we are currently occupying have oil.....hmmmm....I think I'm starting to see a correalation here.
It's none of our business who kills whom outside of our borders....just like it's none of our business to be in Israel trying to unite two groups of people that have been fighting for longer than the US has even existed. Those people have been fighting for THOUSANDS of years and some how we figure it's up to the US to make it all pretty and happy? No fuckin' way. It's just not gonna happen in this lifetime.
Doc, I have a newsflash for you...Junior's over in Iraq trying to finish what his daddy couldn't do in the mid-90's, that being implementing democracy in a place that has something of value to us....OIL.
Look at the facts:
Over the years, how many different reasons was the public given for our purpose to occupy Iraq? First it was the search for bin Laden, then it was the search for WMD's, then it was the search for al Qaeda, then it was the search for Hussein....the list keeps going.
Do you not see any of this?
And yes, there are a few people that I know who went over and didn't come back in one piece. How is that significant to you anyway? |
Bullshit is that I don't agree that GI's are being murdered.
I also don't agree that "WE" were fed bullshit about Iraq. You have no facts.
Bergs I have a news flash for you, Senior didn't finish what he SHOULD have because of the bleeding hearts here and the civil unrest it would have caused there. Junior is finishing what his old man should have done.
I also don't agree that we do not have a moral obligation to help where we can.
AND I don't agree that it is ALL about oil so stop pulling that card.
Lets just agree to disagree because I honestly don't want to go around and around on this AGAIN.
