Heard Cruz this week yapping about the US military going back in, taking care of business and quickly departing, almost word for word how the invasion of Iraq was sold to Congress.
6 years later the US managed to spend $6 million of borrowed money ( when interest on incremental debt and VA benefits are taken into consideration). Most of this spend was done by emergency appropriation.
Throw the public a tax cut bone and they did not care.
Seems way to many Americans' self esteem is tied to US imperialism. |
Really! Or is it Americans are unaware of the real things going on.........OIL! Not everything is America fault or wanting to control the world.
Are you an Environmentalist? You just might be the problem..........
The Environmentalist World War | Frontpage Mag
Reagan had opposed the Trans-Siberian pipeline using everything from sanctions to sabotaged equipment to stop the Soviet Union from gaining energy leverage over Western Europe. His larger solution to the Soviet energy threat however was to rely on the Saudis and now Western Europe, faced with the threat of Putin, is repeating that mistake by turning to Qatar, which has become an even bigger terror state than Saudi Arabia.
The Trans-Siberian pipeline that allows the Greens to play at self-righteous ecology with renewables while their actual needs are taken care of by Russia and Qatar
was built with slave labor.
The Sakharov Committee's hearing, chaired by a former assistant prosecutor at the Nuremburg Trials, reported that prisoners in pipeline labor camps went hungry and experienced outbreaks of disease; women were forced to work on the pipeline and were sexually assaulted by guards.
The workers, some of them political dissidents, ate lichens out of hunger. The writer Julia Vosnessenskaya testified that due to the lack of nutrition, "most of us left the camps infertile."
This was the pipeline that Reagan tried to stop, that European countries financed and fought for and are now chained by. Europe can choose Qatar over Russia, but Qatar also bases its economy on slave labor.
Europe is desperately searching for a moral energy policy, but the only truly moral energy policy is domestic production. Environmentalists have made that impossible by hijacking domestic energy production into the so-called renewables which are expensive, unreliable and whose worthlessness creates a dependency on foreign energy.
Do you support GREEN? just not in your backyard........
Green Energy only means that actual energy has to come from countries less finicky about pollution and human rights leading to slave labor, repression, terror and war. Environmentalism has brought us to the edge of world war by turning over manufacturing to China and energy to Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Energy and manufacturing outsourcing don’t make the world cleaner. China and Russia are fantastically dirty. The Gulf War and various other conflicts involving oil countries have spewed more pollution into the atmosphere than all the cars of Los Angeles.
Nor can it be said that they make the world a better place when Islam, Russia and China are dragging the world into war.
Green Energy doesn’t lead to energy independence. Instead it puts money into the pockets of tyrants and terrorists. A new century has become clotted with wars because of the environmental activists perversely campaigning for a cleaner world.
Instead of a greener world, they have given us a Green World War.
Seeing to the way President bush bowed to the King.......I would say we sent our finest into war for Oil and making the ME rich! President Obama has only made them richer..........
