As far as the money goes, you cleverly forgot to mention the billions in [B]FOREIGN[B] aid that Obama pledged in addition to what they already got that is going to places like Egypt, who conveniently vote against the US in every UN vote. Good thing we need to give away more money to non-americans beyond the ones that actually showed an effort to get here, even it was illegally.
Ya got me!
I for one couldn't give a §hit about the citizens of Iraq! they will be pointing our own guns at us the minute we leave. If they hated Saddam so bad, they should have ousted him themselves! At that point we could have joined in. Iraq was all about W and his small penis.He could not bare the thought that saddam threatened to kill his dad! I'm sure his friends in Saudi Arabia ( the country that did attack us on 911) told Bush that Saddam made them nervous...and we all know that Bush was in their back pocket as well.
I have said it before, the billions of dollars, some never even accounted for, could have been best spent here...where it was made and where it would have done the most good...can we really afford to build schools in Iraq when our schools are falling apart? Halliburton may say yes but I say no...
I pay taxes too...that's my sacrifice...So I get pissed when our money goes out to nation build for all the wrong reasons....We installed the shaw in Iran...do you recall how well that went?
Here to throwing good money after bad on a country of muslims who will never have our back!
