(4 posts)Any conflict anywhere in the world is always for the paid lackeys of the MIC to start beating the war drums. They want another full blown IRAQ so they can charge the taxpayers another trillion. Please pay attention to what the talking heads start saying, all of them in unison, because they get paid very well too. Just ask Dick Cheney. So many people have needlessly died so that these companies can make an indecent profit, so politicians can get their hands in the cookie jar and so that the supporting companies can do the same. Do not jump on the bandwagon, unless you are willing to go or send your children or family first. Let the politicians send their kids and families and see how quickly it gets shut down.

This shit always makes me feel that this is all a fucking game. Guys with money - from any side of the war - just get their jollies moving game pieces around on the board and seeing some of them blow up. The rest of us just want to live. And get laid once in a while.
