This issue has been posted on DU before but this righteousness deserves its own post.

Basically, American taxpayers are helping the Taliban buy bullets to shoot at American soldiers, with Military Industrial Complex war profiteers acting as the middle man.

Really

They call it the Theater of War. I always knew it was kabuki theater, but this is fucking ridiculous.

You see, when you go to war in the place that is called "The Graveyard of Empires", the intelligent observer should become skeptical. When you have no plan to win a war the intelligent observer should become cynical. But when you have a circular system that funds a war that ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY says can NOT be won, where war profiteering contractors are the only party that stands to win, under a corrupt Karzai Government that steals elections and deals heroin, and where American tax payer money somehow finds its way from those contractors, around the corrupt untrained and totally useless Afghani army and into the hands of the SAME FUCKING PEOPLE WE ARE AT WAR WITH, that is when the the intelligent observer should become FUCKING INSANE WITH OUTRAGE and DEMAND THIS FUCKING WAR ENDS NOW!

Here is a better idea which will save everyone some time. Lets pay the Contractors in bullets. Then, when they have to bribe the SAME TALIBAN WE ARE AT WAR WITH in order to bring in supplies to help us wage war on the Taliban we just bribed with reimbursable by the US Gov bribe money, the Taliban can just shoot at our soldiers with the bullets we paid the contractors in instead of having to buy bullets with the money the contractors gave them.

3. Maybe we should just pay the right wing militias to shoot us.

Or pay them in bullets. There would be a lot less unemployed then.

4. This is what burns me up. Billions for indiscriminate killing, and nothing for

out of work Americans.

It's almost as if, well, almost as if they are encouraging/forcing people to join the military as a source of income.

But I am not nearly cynical enough to put forward that idea.

2. Its just what the corporatist mass murderers do. Brzezinski/Carter, Kissinger/Reagan ad nauseam have

funded them ever since the people of Afghanistan voted in a lefty government. Same story everywhere.
