Thread Name: BS: Afghan War mistake or wise
Subject: RE: BS: Afghan War mistake or wise
Yer right, LH... "Wars are terribly expensive"...
I find it very interesting that the current batch of Repubicorportists in Congress seem to be very happy with Obama spendin' an additional $30B of borrowed money to continue a needless war on one hand yet...
...are very concerned that health care for the people may cause deficits on the other hand???
But the corportists have never met a war they didn't like...
As for the pipeline in Afganistan??? Heck yeah... That's alot of what this war is about... Throw in the geopolitics and ther corportists would love to also have a nice big scarey military presence in Afganistan forever to protect that pipeline...
It's also very curious that these same people are the ones that are running these very negative ads about the next battle: the climate and energy... The ads are of old people saying that the bill, which hasn't even been written yet will, ahhhhhhh, "RAISE YOUR TAXES"... The ads are all over the TV... Yeah, let's not push for planet friendly renewable energuy... Ain't no $30B (Exxon) a year profits to be made that way... No, lets drtil, baby, drill and have endless wars to keep that oil a'flowin'....
Anyone who really things the Afganistn War and occupation is about 9/11 please raise your hand... I've got a bridge to sell you...
