I came across an interesting perspective on the war in Iraq and the young soldiers that fight the cause. Below is a quote:
The rage soldiers feel after a roadside bomb explodes, killing or maiming their comrades,
is one that is easily directed over time to innocent civilians who are seen to support the insurgents. It is a short psychological leap, but a massive moral leap. It is a leap from killing — the shooting of someone who has the capacity to do you harm — to murder — the deadly assault against someone who cannot harm you. The war in Iraq is now primarily about murder. There is very little killing.
That’s quite a thought isn’t it? Killing vs Murder.
Weapons of Mass Illusion
I didn’t know there was any other place in the world besides the U.S. that used MM/DD/YYYY format. So I guess Iran shipped the weapons over to Iraq, but before that the U.S. sent Iran weapons? Hmmm. That makes us aiding and abetting a terrorist nation that is abetting terrorists. Shall we start bombing U.S. cities?
This is what you call “lack of intelligence in the intelligence community”. We need more fraud experts in the CIA.
How Iraq Trillion could have been Spent
For Comparison:
- Annual budget for Department of Education is about $55 billion
- Annual budget for National Science Foundation is $6 billion
- Annual budget for National Cancer Institute is $5 billion
- Annual budget for Homeland Security is $35 billion
For $2 Trillion, the U.S. Treasury could:
- Mail a $6,000 check to every person in the United State or
- Mail a check for $300 to every human on earth (consider some nations per capita income is less than $300 imagine the Christmas lil Timmy would have that one).
We’ve got a new General out there now. Let’s see if he uses our money wisely. Our wallets are with you General.
