The US military-industrial complex profits from every war. Perpetual war is their ultimate goal. This is a step in that direction.

I don't think to bring democracy to the middle east stands after what we see in Egypt.

How will they justify spending 682 billion dollars of Military budget then? I wish that money was spent in protecting our South border with mexico against illegal immigration.

I have come to believe that it is about money. that is all it is about. I wish someone would bring the folks home. we have lots of issues here that need fixing. forget about being in a place that doesn't want us there anyway. Young men and women die for contractors to make money. sad.

It's always been about money, stealing someone's resources, or simply the thrill of power.

Usually all three.
Hmmm I thought it was because there are still a few Afghani's that we haven't pizzed off yet. It takes time to pizz off every single person in a country.
