Going to war without provocation was the only transparent action Bush and his henchmen ever took.

The war in Iraq was always about profit. In fact, bush's entire presidency was about how he could profit, and help his cronies profit while they were raiding the treasury!

I have a great idea, leave the ass businessmen there and bring our troops home, now! Since when did we start thinking invading another country is OK? It isn't. How many more young men and women do we have to lose before we finally say it is another Viet Nam and quit? We have no business there, we should not be there.

Naaa... it's NORMAL for Repugnants.

Like I always say... FOLLOW THE MONEY! The "War on Terror" was nothing but a trick to transfer TRILLIONS of dollars from our treasury into the coffers of bushie's buddies... and his FAMILY! There can NEVER be a winner in a "war" where theyre can't be a LOSER.
