1 Million Dead - 7 Trillion Dollars - Replacing Saddam With Iran's Ayatollahs

What a deal!

They told us the world would be safer without Saddam.

Anyone here feel safer?

What will be the next great deal?

Look at the $$$ the MIC raked in by the way.

Ike was an oracle.

Follow the money. The only rule in life that really makes sense.

But the results of The Bush Boys attacks were a billion times worse


We should have waited for all the evidence and taken over Saudi instead!

We'd have sweet light crude for 50 cents a barrel now too, for the next 500 years, they really should let me run these things, lol

scheme. The Bush years provided me with way too much information about the goings-on in the Middle-east, but I came away with the knowledge that nothing I read can be considered the truth. Reading comments of those professing to know it all, by recitation of talking points, sends me over the edge. I may need a time-out.
