full quote, courtesy of Reuters' Sam Youngman:
"We have wars; we get nothing from them. We have wars. You know in the old days, you won a war to the victor belong the spoils. With us, we win a war, what do we do? We leave Iraq, what did we get out of it? They're having a field day with the second largest oil reserves in the world; we get nothing."

In other words, Mitt and Donald's message is "More blood for oil!"


Yeah, that will make the rest of the world feel at ease over a Willard presidency.

1. OMG why would anybody want to be associated with this asshole?

Mitt has NO class and NO judgement whatsoever.

2. His message is not "more blood for oil".

The message is "if you're going to spill the blood at least get the damn oil instead of nothing" and I do agree with that. Just what the hell did we get out of going to Iraq except a bunch of dead guys, a massive bill and the tarnation of our international reputation? The Chimperor and his minions assured us the Iraqi oil money would pay for the war but what happened? The oil companies made money, the MIC made money and we all got stuck with the bill. If we were going to be there, we should have taken the oil. At least enough to cover our expenses.

Now, obviously, we should have never gone in there to begin with. I always was and always will be against that war. But if we are going to go to war we should damn well get something out of it.

Trump is a fucknut and a general dope but he is right about this. We haven't gotten anything out of the last five major wars we've been in. Certain people and businesses certainly did but We the People got nothing but the privilege to pay for it all. And that's not good enough.

3. Ah yes - the ultimate in vulture capitslism. The Bain model taken to it's logical extreme.

4. I don't believe too many honorable people think we should reap monetary gain from

the deaths of innocent Iraqi people.

5. There is no honor in any of this.

Honor has nothing to do with it.
