Pitifully, in the (not our) prevailing culture(?) it doesn't matter that the U.S. illegally invaded Iraq and killed 10,000"s of innocent humans. Now the Generals of that war(?) admit that they have gotten wealthy off of that invasion. They continue this rape of Iraq now that they "are in the private sector."
Yet, Petraeus (et al it should be) "steps down" as CIA director (remember pappy bush?) because he got caught fucking.
How twisted the media successfully makes our country and the world.
Petraeus should have been exposed as well as the other "Top Brass" who got wealthy through this invasion.
It is exactly the same as during the DARK AGES when these mercenaries are free to loot and plunder their seized territories.
Now they wear suit and tie and that is supposed to make it legitimate? It is not even "the spoils of war."
It is looting done during and after an illegal invasion that killed thousands of our young people and 20x that many mothers, babies and innocents. How fucking warped that "they" portray this as heroic. My God, wake up!
