I guess We could become trillion doller world wide drug dealers to pay off the National debt just until we make ends meet and get back on our economic feet and such.

We should invade columbia and then we would control both the world coacain and Herion trade and well that means tons of illegal drug $$$ and we need a Euro zone country like france or italy to launder it for us so it comes back clean.

We can do this as long as the U.N. or the IMF do not run a sting and bust us or we are doing some serious federal prision time in China or India here.
Afghanistan is vary rich in mineral wealth, we could open op mines to receive payment.

Err, okay.

First it was wmds, then it was to liberate the poor innocent Iraqis, but now its because those not so innocent Iraqis turned out to be terrorists. Did I miss anything? The rationale changes by the minute.

Sure must be confusing for American soldiers not to know just what the hell they're fighting and dying for.

We entered for the WMDs and stayed for the terrorists. we probably would of pulled out in 2004 if it was not for the people shooting back at us.

So why are you staying there? Do you enjoy getting shot at?

Here's an idea: Get the hell out of their country and they wont shoot at you anymore.

Foreign Policy 101: When soldiers show up in somebody else's country and start bossing the locals around, the locals tend to get annoyed.

Its not "their" country. The country belongs to the peaceful civilians not the terrorist thugs. After 9/11 if there is a terrorist with a heart beat, it is our job to be there to stop it.

Also the oil we drill we will be taking at pre 2001 prices since it was the war that drove the prices up.
Did you know that the Nazis did this very thing to all the countries they invaded and destroyed. Like it's not enough to invade and kill inumerable people, blow the country to bits and destroy most of the ifrastructure and industry but then tell the survivours they have the good fortune to PAY for it to boot.

On this the last day of 2011 I have to give this post my personal , Worst idea of the year award.

We also did it too the Nazi's after we invaded them and the British did it to the Germans after WW1 as it was standard practice in the past and was hardly exclusively done by the Nazi's. Next you are going to tell us we should all smoke because the Nazi's where against smoking so if you don't smoke you are a Nazi right?
