That said, if we break it we buy it. The Democrats going full anti-American in the aftermath caused the deaths of hundreds of our troops. Every time Mormon Harry Reid or ex-marine John Murtha dogged our troops or said the war was lost, they were giving aid and comfort to the enemy, knowing that extra American troops dying would help them control Congress....they calculated that for every 10 troops killed by al-Queda, they'd gain a Congressional seat.
“That said, if we break it we buy it.”
This was one of General Powell supposedly brilliant observations. I disagree with it. If we are forced into a war, no we are not thereby taking on an obligation to rebuild anything. If you justifiably shoot a mugger and the mugger lives, you are not obligated to pay his medical bills and send him to college. Despite being an awful idea, the invasion of Iraq was morally justified. The second part of Powell’s observation is equally stupid: if you buy something, would that not mean you would end up owning it and be entitled to, oh I don’t know, its oil revenues?
In the history of mankind that has to be the stupidest statement ever made. "W" is that you?
you apparently didn’t see the long line of transport vehicles taking material out of Iraq into Syria when Sadam knew we were coming and the thousands of weapons found or the yellow cake material we removed.
