“Paul Wolfowitz does have the blood of our warriors on OUR hands.”
On HIS hands, Carl Rove too, G Bush can be included in that company. F**k it, I’m going to bed.

I think we’re seeing why “W” left office with such low approval ratings. He had godawful advisers around him.

We fought Iraq I and Iraq II for the benefit of of Saudi Arabia and other tyrants. Israel had little to do with it.

Correction change "our" to "his": Paul Wolfowitz does have the blood of our warriors on his hands. He dragged Bush into the Iraq war so he could profit from the war with his military contractor friends.

I can't believe I made that mistake and I wasn't even drinking.

Wolfowitz should campaign for Hillary in Iraq. I’m just certain he’d be greeted by the Iraqi people with cakes and flowers. Then, he could stand trial in The Hague.

looks likes Wolfie and the pukeneos gathered at the elite Four Seasons lounge.

And over chilled Krystal and room temperature Brie, they figured “their” best interests (not the country) would be forwarded by buying off Hillary.

“And don’t forget that 100 million donation to the Foundation, gang.”

THE NAME OF THE PUKENEO GAME---adventurism and nation building is the legacy of the Bushes and their neocon supporters — and the results have been horrible.....

So many horrible legacies of the pukeneo years.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE: pukeneo ignorance surfaces w/ this gem from pukeneo HDQ---the Weekly Standard: a “Trump presidency would represent the death knell of America as a great power.” (FReeper headstamp insightfully posted: "Already happened with the current moron in the White House." )

==============================================

GWB ensconced the pukes in our WH....their daily afternoon habit....sipping chilled Cristal w/ room-temperature Brie and water crackers in the Four Seasons lounge w/ our tax dollars......that/s where they get their half-baked ideas about US foreign affairs.

==========================================

PUKE DEBACLE AFTER DEBCLE--Americans will not forgive and they will never forget the disastrous puke-induced invasion of Iraq.....three thousand young Americans dead, tens of thousands physically and psychologically maimed, trillions of US treasure squandered, vengeful Muslim armies coming here to kill us......all of it enabling the election of the vile Obama.

Let/s understand that neocons are political whores....they will get in bed w/ pols of any persuasion in order to achieve their own self-serving ends. Keep in mind these people do NOTHING that is in the best interests of the US....they have their own self-serving agenda.

Let's go back to the nauseating beginning: the political buzz was GWB met w/ neocons BEFORE his election; the deal was to invade Iraq and also included a catbird seat for the pukeneos in the WH Office of Special Ops (created just for the pukes, financed by US taxpayers).

=============================================

OH PLEASE, COLIN, WISE UP---Colin Powell asserts in his new book...."there would have been no Iraq war" had then-Pres GWB and his councilors (neocons) understood that Hussein did not possess any functioning unconventional weapons. Powell lauded the fact that under Bush we got rid of the horrific Hussein government and toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan....."

Which just goes to show neocons FORGOT to advise GWB about the fervid Mideast mindset. Its thousand-year-old sectarian internecine warfare was kept in check by strongmen like Saddam and Khadafi. Now these savages are marauding all over Europe.....and are coming here to kill us for what we did in Iraq.

POINTS TO PONDER

<><> Powell never mentions the conniving Mideast types calculated the advantage of having a superpower in their midst....and they cashed in bigtime.

<><> The US gamely decided to train the indigenous population....it cost us billions and we managed to train 4-5, or so, over five years.

<><> In the US we take them off the farm, send them to boot camp, and in 3 weeks we got battle-ready soldiers.

<><> The Bank of Kabul where the CIA and DOD deposited billions to finance the war was a withdrawal-only goldmine for insiders.

<><> For public consumption, GWB was prompted to say we went into Iraq to introduce them to the advantages of democracy and to get all warm and cuddly as they embraced it.

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Remember this Colin? The war profiteering was outrageous. Neocon godfather Richard Perle relaxing in Paris (above the fray---nowhere near his cohorts plotting in the WH Office of Special Ops) got so rich w/ insider info, he was reported to be starting his own oil company.

<><> One last thing, Colin.....neocons duped GWB into believing the Iraq strike would cost $50-60 billion. Then an angry Bush fired advisor Larry Lindsey because Lindsay dared to say the war might cost more like $100 billion.

That was in 2007 dollars.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY Iraq and Afghanistan today have cost the US some $3 TRILLION....and rivers of young blood. We/re still pouring US tax dollars into those decrepit Mideast countries, and..... as Donald says....the US got NOTHING in return.

BTW, look who controls most of the Iraqui oil fields today.

Could THIS be what the calculating neocons are after (/snix)?

It cannot be both ways... These of the high swing of the Bell Curve are dumber than dirt, or they knew damn well what would ensue. And for Wolfowitz to support the wicked witch of the West now, is indicative that he full well knew what a mess he was making.

Good point....the pukes also know Trump won't give them a sand box of our tax dollars to play in.....as GWB did.

And they will extract much from Hillary...should she get in.

Eight days after the invasion of Iraq on March 19 2003, Paul Wolfowitz, then deputy defence secretary and a leading proponent of the war, told a Congressional committee: “We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon.”

(That worked out well.)
