37. The pallets

Ah, yes, the memories of the early parts of the invasion. Billions of dollars on shrink wrapped pallets. What could possibly go wrong? And so many memories of meanness, creepiness, ham handedness, hypocrisy and especially stupidity.

I knew the reasons for war were bogus, consider the absurdity of the constantly changing reasons for the invasion, started to stop the mushroom clouds and changed into bringing democracy to Iraq.

I did not know it would end up as an endless expensive craven sacrifice to the MIC and big oil and oligarchs everywhere.

What was especially painful about the corruption was the suffering it caused - including all the innocents betrayed for American bounty and off to Guantanamo. And torture. A terrorist attack by Dick Cheney and company on the fundamental principles we used to be proud of given to us by really really smart generous Forefthers that wanted fairness and equality for all. kind of, hiccups on the way with slavery and bogus wars and gilded ages and all that.
