bushmalakiTWO VIEWS ON A SIMILAR ISSUE: TWO THIEVES PLOTTING THEIR NEXT HEIST
BY. G. DUFF AND AN ANONYMOUS VETERAN

Today’s news stories are another congressional investigation.  With Democrats in charge, years of theft in Iraq and elsewhere is coming to the surface.  For years, the Bush administration has done less than nothing to control corruption in Iraq which has wasted billions of dollars and left Iraq a wasteland where none of the schools, orphanages and mosques talked about in the phony emails we get actually exist.  I have driven extensively thru Iraq and find little signs of us having spent ten cents much less hundreds of billions of our own money and a trillion dollars of their oil money.

It seems the US embassy has hidden the criminal conspiracy of top Irai politicians and protected the criminal elite to the point where any person, be they judge, cop or official that speaks up is killed or has to flee Iraq to escape the wrath of corrupt US and Iraqi officials.

I wonder how many "special ops" have been run in Iraq to eliminate "whistle blowers" complaining about oil theft or the billions in phony projects that are split between crooked Iraqi’s and US companies and government officials.  Anyone who thinks this isn’t what is going on is crazy.  How do we know if our soldiers are being sent to find terrorists or to intimidate witnesses?  Do you think their commanders know?

     

Anyone who thinks that half or more of the war is caused by the US establishing a disrespected criminal mob as a government and covering their crimes for years as long as they get their cut is not paying attention.

This is a somewhat related note received from a Vietnam Vet today:

"To use an old phrase, “shooting wars are so 70’s”.  this is becoming clear to several people, yet seems oblivious to our elected “officials”.  we keep pouring money into a “lost” hole, while the “enemy” keeps reaping the profits, and bankrupting  the warring “profiteers”.  I call this warfare, and it surely is.

While we spend multiple billions on “a war without end”, all the while sending billions more to those engaged  actively or non-actively,  in perpetrating the “war”.  it’s called “foreign aid”. how long can “we” keep this up? Not much longer.  You see, this is more than a shooting war. This is economic warfare. And we are losing. Badly. From an economic standpoint, the “enemy” is winning on all fronts. Big time.  I used to work for cash and smile, telling myself I was conducting my own little economic war on the crooked gov’t we had with ghw bush, and bubba Clinton. Ignorant me. My gestures have been so overwhelmed by the pols involved (all of them), that I have even cancelled my membership in the “us vs. them” society. 

It’s been so badly compromised, that even “the ones” I used to think a guy could kinda trust, are proving themselves masters of subterfuge, and camouflage.  when they appear at all, it is to rape & pillage yet again. I am amazed that no one is calling for the impeachment of the entire congress. Their rating is even worse than the presidents, and yet they continue the masquerade party known as politics in the good ol’ USA. "

 

Today congress is investigating, papers are reporting and nobody is reading.  If we read, we might wonder what parents of dead and maimed kids might be thinking knowing that their kids might be alive today if we had gone into Iraq for the reasons we gave, idiotic as they seemed, even at the time, rather than to steal on a scale almost as great as during the Vietnam War.

 

Our anonymous writer is correct.  Criticizing the Iraq war when our own government isallowed to do anything at any time, steal anything they want, pass any phony legislation they want or take away any right they please and nobody cares.

 

Were I a really good and decent person like the thieves and liars people pay to make them feel better, I would tell folks that it is all part of a plot by G-d to punish us for having too many homosexuals, allowing too many Mexicans to do all of our work while we sit on our asses and complain or grind our volunteer military to death while celebrating draft dodging chief executives and friends who pay millions to be seen as heroes while others sacrifice and die.

 

Any people that stupid should enjoy paying 4 dollars a gallon for gas and 2 dollars a dozen for eggs and keep their mouths shut.

 

Moral courage should be a crime in the US.  We could build even more prisons and get more problematic people off the streets.

 

They would have to be small prisons.

 

The way things look, not many people would qualify.
