Sadly, I too believe that WE never had any business in sending troops into Iraq and IMO.....it was predictable that it would happen when Bush was in office.
NOW......we're in Afghanistan and it is no longer Bush and Co. calling the shots.
To me.....the entire thing is another BIG quagmire similar to our lengthy presence in SE Asia from the early 60's through '75 when Saigon fell and our troops NEVER really had the chance to "drawdown" on a "gradual" basis.
It amazes me that we continue to spend BILLIONS and BILLIONS we CANNOT afford to keep our military presence so entrenched over there and whatever benefits there may be in doing so........just DON'T seem worth it at all!
We have superior technology to deal with such adversity in a way that we really don't NEED such troop numbers over there. With the technology we have....(thanks to OUR generous military spending), we should have NO problem eliminating multiple targets by the push of a button. But, this is not an option, I guess.
There ARE reasons why we remain there and all that OIL.....is it, more than any other, I guess. I highly doubt that our military presence over there will EVER prevent another terrorist attack HERE or EVER......end in a "victory" for US. Guess it depends on what exactly defines victory, I suppose.
But, it truly appears that there is a vested interest, GLOBALLY.....to ensure that Dubai, becomes the Capital of EARTH and eventually......a single global currency, a single BANK and a single WORLD GOVERNMENT will be headquartered there with an all NEW an "improved Constitution" in place for ALL of US......and it won't resemble a thing, like the one WE have had here in America for over 230 years.
So, it is time to prepare to bow down America.........to YOUR NEW LEADERS!
And, THAT TIME.....has truly begun.
