'neo-con' is a term that should be retired. There is no clear definition. Its primary usefulness to people who need to engage in name calling because they lack an argument.

The idea it was done for money is ridiculous.

Democrats could have stopped it by voting against it. Or were they getting a cut of the cash?

You totally ignore how ethically insane that whole line of thinking that is.

We are talking about politics so what in the hell does ethics have to do with anything? Every war and conflict that this country has been involved in had an exchanged of money involved. Do you honestly believe that this country would commit itself to anything that does not involve some sort of profit? Btw, I'm not just accussing just the republicans of profitting from the war there are democrats who got their palms greased as well. The republicans that did not profit from it were just force to tow the party line and the democrats were afraid of being labeled as "unpatriotic" and losing their seats as well.

You're saying 4,000 Americans died so someone could make a few million? No.....I'm not buying into that lunacy.

The nation always loses money in wars....they go into debt. Why do you think they sold War Bonds?

Cynical is one thing.....thinking politicians send Americans to die to line their pockets is lunacy.

No you are thinking way too small, hell Haliburton made millions in a couple of months. Think BILLIONS!

Like I said if you take the time to do your research you will find that billions exchange hands whenever there is a war or conflict with this country

This is why we keep getting into senseless wars because people like yourself refuses to believe in the greed and wickness of our governmental leaders and just go through life like it does not happen
