    Iraq's budget surplus

    This story really gets to me as from the beginning of this stupid war we were sold that the oil money would be used to finance the war. It wouldn't cost us much and we would have an ally in the Middle East in Iraq.

    In 2008, we've spent billions of dollars and Iraq has literally billions sitting in the bank. And gas prices are higher than ever. And let's not forget the human lives lost and injured.

          The criminals aren't only winning but are also making plenty of $$$$$.
          “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
          Marcus Tullius Cicero

            So you reckon the US should be paid to invade the country by the country

            Ok we are going to nuke the shit of this country and then we will use their money to pay for reconstruction. Good one!

              The few things that are always guaranteed in unjust wars are that, decision makers/leaders will always walk away unscathed, whilst making millions through the suffering of others. The citizens on the other hand will always get screwed in the ass.

              This is nothing new and supporters of unjust wars deserve everything bad that comes out of them.

              Unjust wars suck, unless you're the ones declaring them.
