ByeBye 2014.
Can we call it an escalation now?
If not, how many advisers and air strikes make it an escalation in Iraq?
I voted for this guy to get us out, now we're going in.
Not happy.
Where is the special tax on the wealthy to pay for this debacle????

(67,112 posts)investors see $$$$$ in destruction and rebuilding ... and/or resources like oil. I know some have altruistic goals, but really, in reality, it's about $$$$$ and the US leaves a place totally fucked up.
We see this over and over again ... but we as tax payers have little say. In fact, more and more, citizens in the US have little say about anything. Someone posted an analysis on this earlier today ... the rich and powerful rule this country ... citizens think they do, but that is so DUH!
