Ok, you all know I don't get into politics much, but this article made my head spin. Its about the contractors in Iraq doing nothing but stealing taxpayer money and getting people killed.

YUP. DOOM, GLOOM, no hope whatsoever. everybody and everything is on the take. its all bushs fault. lets give up. we cant finish what we started so lets leave. WE DONT WANNA PLAY ANYMORE. ( even though we started it..)We dont care that if we leave they will slaughter all the people there that collaborated with us, and thier familys too. Lets tell the world our troop strength deployment plan for next year because were stupid and have no idea that doing that is helping the enemy.
when your done with the libberal/ commie retohric, let me know, we will have an intelligent chat then.

listen up assholes if you have NO ****ing clue as to whats happenin or what your talking about shut the **** up, I am so tired of all these ppl sayin we're fightin over there for oil and other needless ****. i did two tours in the triangle of death each on a year long apiece and my father is a retired Navy SEAL that happens to be a contractor, my mother is a retired Intel Spec. Chief that still works as a DoD employee doin the same job she did in the military.

Wow!!ol lil countryboy needs areality check!
Your so ignorant its leaking out of your ears!!
You did what you were told to do!
No if,s and,s or buts!!
So befor you think you best do some research of your own and not what they tell you.!

No need for name calling here.

how about i drop your ass in country and see how long you survive, huh? do you know what it feels like to kill a mother and then her child bc the ppl over there are so backwards that they send mothers and children to fight the troops thinking that we'll hesitate b4 pulling the trigger bc its a woman or child? ive done my "research" it was up close and personal everyday for 2 years yes we've made some mistakes but its called col. damage for a reason

If you look at it through there eyes(YES)we are the bad guys!!!
We have no right to be there,we have no right to take there oil!
Its all about the people in charge!!!
The rich and the elite in iraq arnt even there!!!!
There here telling us what to do with there country and there people.They dont care about there own but they do care about how much they can make off of the war!!
WAR<<<<thats funny.
I pray for those who have to suffer because of us and what are actions do!!

We're not over there for oil!

We're over there to liberate those people!

Well that's the excuse they've given us ever since they couldn't find those WMDs!

Personally, methinks Countryboy needs to learn some manners...then go get some (seriously needed) professional help.

right if any one thinks that the WMD'S dont exsist then your a fool

Where are they? Did YOU find any during those "two years" that you're constantly reminding us of?

Me's suspects someone is full-o-****!!!!

I'm still waiting, Countryboy. Where did you hide all those WMDs you found during those two years that you're always telling everyone unfortunate to be within earshot of you about?

we found lots of them actually, but they all said made in USA ON them so it was not made public.

Riiiight.......

read this boys...2 time medal of honor winner speaking:
Smedley Butler USMC
War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

nothing has changed ....it is always about money....war is money war is money....war is money....
did I mention war is about money?...

.....thats about the size of it....
