The Toddler has said that if we go to war with Iran in defense of Saudi Arabia, the Saudis will have to pay us for it. That turns our military into mercenaries who will not benefit financially in any way. But I'll bet The Toddler somehow does. Money is his God. That and stroking his ego is all that matters.

(13,003 posts)Remember when Rumsfeld, on national TV said that the war on Iraq would last only three days, only cost 3 billion, and the people would greet our soldiers with flowers? Rummy also said that we would be paid back for all our costs by the Iraq govt selling oil and giving us the money.
By the way......Anyone heard anything out of Rumsfeld, Cheney, etc??????? Maybe they are too busy running this current abomination
of a Republican Party from the shadows???????????

Yet, we spend trillions per decade on defense.
