11. We can't walk away because we have to much invested in their oil. |

2. It's been a huge win for the arms industry, though |

7. Really! Defense contractors have ripped us off to the tune of $285 billion in three years! |
|
And now the GOP/Tea Baggers want to cut beneficial programs to make up for it.
Hey, Congress! Just go back to the criminal contractors and get the money back!!!
