Oh sure, looking at the burned out economic landscape, owing trillions to the Communist Chinese, millions out of work....Boy, it sure worked out well!
In fact, we should of hung out in Baghdad for another 20 years. Ya boy!
Another graduate from the Tokyo Rose school of propaganda?
Our public finances are out of kilter because of domestic spending, especially the implicit future spending necessary to fund Medicare. In comparison, our military spending is a minor cost, with substantial offsetting benefits in return.
A BRILLIANT RESPONSE Oh sure, looking at the burned out US economic landscape, owing trillions to the Communist Chinese, millions of Americans out of work.......the neo policies sure worked out well! In fact, we should of hung out in Baghdad for another 20 years.......
Amen, D2---the agit-prop from the Mideast amen corner is preposterous.
America needs to disentangle itself from the neocon stranglehold----we dont need a foreign policy rooted in yesterday’s dollar-draining dreams of global democracy.....and other cockamamie policies fomented by the pukeneos.
==================================================
REFERENCE Your tax dollars at work, thanks to the pukeneos.
(1) The US stupidly gave Pakistan billions in the wake of 911----the country that was openly harboring Bin Laden. Despite all its advanced technology, Israel "did not know" Bin Laden was in their neighborhood? And isn't it nice that a tiny country like Israel--- surrounded by enemies---has zillions of dollars to conduct these costly activities--- as US citizens struggle to survive?
(2) TURKEY received $21 billion economic/military US foreign aid....thanks to neocons. The US Dept of state ----duped by neocons----reported Dec 2011 that as part of their stupid cooperative effort to further Turkish economic and military self-reliance, the United States stupidly loaned and granted Turkey more than $7 billion in economic aid and more than $14 billion in military assistance over several years......So much for "peace"....Turkey is now getting ready to acquire nuclear weapons. Despite all its advanced technology, Israel did not know this?
(3) Neocons duped the US into pouring trillions into Afghanistan.....the most corrupt area on the globe. The Bank of Kabul is engaged in massive fraud---the bank where the US deposits billions of US tax dollars to run the war----if you are "connected" you can withdraw billions with no responsibility to pay it back. Afghan Pres Karzhai was seen loading billions of US dollars to transport out of the country .
SUMMATION US citizens are being extorted at the pump as the US leaves Iraq with no promise of oil (having spent trillions of US dollars there, leaving rivers of young US blood). Yet, according to the WSJ, conniving neocons are starting their own oil company in Iraq. The cost is immense----facilitated by n/c Richard Perle's war profiteering. Your tax dollars at work.
NOTE There is nothing in the US Constitution that says US citizens should go broke while foreign loyalists and their countries get rich on our tax dollars.
===============================================
Here are the various Mideast American policy failures the pukeneos inveigled the US into over the last few decades.
<><> Military assistance or punitive intervention without follow-up mostly failed.
<><>The verdict on far more costly trillion dollar nation-building is still out.
<><>Trying to help popular insurgents topple unpopular dictators does not guarantee anything better.
<><> Propping up dictators with military aid is both odious and counterproductive.
<><>Sinking the pukeneo fangs into US foreign policy---posing as our "best friend"---leads manaical regimes to nuclear acquisition and 16 acres of Manhattan rubble.
IN A NUTSHELL The stupid pukeneo policy----financed by US taxpayers' ----and rivers of young soldiers' blood.
