My nephew spent 18 months in Iraq. He came home last fall. Now hes fixing to go to Afghanistan. At least if he gets killed in Afghanistan I'll know it was fighting those who attacked us instead of for Bush and Cheney's personal vendetta. It will make the difference between being pissed and angry, and pride with grief! I hear what you are saying. But i think i'd still be a bit pissed as we never fought in Afganistan to our capability. If the powers that be wanted an outcome for that war, we would have been done in a matter of months, not decades. Kinda like Vietnam in a way. It's the politicians that don't seem to want us to win. We had the capability, we had the technology, and we have the man-power. Like Vietnam, we win every battle, but seem to be losing the war regardless. Cheers to your nephew's service to this country.  Cheers to you sir. For this comment, and your other in regards to taxes. Vietnam is such a great point. Every time we conquered a hill or a valley, we would retreat and let them take it over again. I believe there was one hill specifically the we captured over 50 times. Why do they let the wars go on and on? Listen to former President Dwight Eisenhower in his farewell address to the nation. I'll find ya a link people; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY Hear it in his own words. War is big $$$ for some It would be real nice if the you-tuber had posted the whole speech instead of the hand picked excerpts he wanted to accentuate.

i am glad to see not all of you are total idiots, and some of you even have a brain !
glad to see fellow true patriots taking a stand and being unafraid to "type" the truth instead of what has been indoctrinated into our minds. |

This is not only in US, that wars are fought for profit, not for any goal. Did anyone really doubted that Russia couldn't squash Chechen rebellion if it was really a goal? And yet, they have spent so many years there, going back and forth. I've talked to a guy who was fighting in that war, and he says it was totally about money.
As actually many other things. He told me to look at the "road improvement". I didn't get it at first, what the hell was he talking about. Turns out, if you pay attention, same perfect street is being repaved like once a year, sometimes even more often. Reason? Theft. The contract always goes to a guy who splits the money with a government boss. Then why do it on a perfectly good street, and not where it actually needed? Simple. A good street is likely in a good area, where there is no problem to collect taxes, and secondly, because it cost less to "improve" a perfectly good pavement than to re-lay the whole destroyed pavement. But in the papers, it is always done "to the core". |
