What I want to know is 'why'? Who benefits from all this money being poured into those nations? They sure haven't changed much have they?
The Orange Revolution, received wall to wall coverage here, no doubt to justify the money being poured into it. Iraq also.
So, what do WE the American people get in return? We know who benefits mostly, it certainly doesn't seem to have 'created' any Democracies.
So I outright oppose enabling some of the world's worse characters and WITHOUT any accountability.
What is that money being used for?? In Ukraine I am talking about. Where is it going, who received it, what were the results, benefits received by the American tax payers?
Kerry asked for that during the Iraq War and was SLAMMED by the right wingers, using much the same tactics I'm seeing right here against anyone who dares to question these policies. They accused him of NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS.
