Guy had been a paid military shill for years, the worst candidate who ever ran as a dem, and a liar to boot.

What did the left ever see in this twat waffle?

The seven countries in five years, the origins of ISIS. Are all interesting.

What he said in this video didn't seem like a shill for the military. He pointed out how much we waste annually defending the oil supply.

He's basically outing the fact that the attack on Iraq was an oil war..And instead of protecting the people of this country our military is being used to protect the assets of a bunch of millionaires.. How many retired generals are willing to tell you that?

I'm not sure what more anyone could ask of a retired general. One of the problems with the left, too many willing to unleash their pent up rage on anyone who doesn't walk on water. Well guess what the world's not going to wait around for the second coming. Personally I'm appreciating a retired general that is willing to tell the truth...

At least he is willing to say, it is all about the oil. You won't hear anyone running for President, or Congress say it.

If people would watch and listen, they might actually LEARN something, about energy AND about a fine General.
