Im an Iraq War Vet and I gotta admit these comments make me sick. Im truly ashamed to be associated with most of you in any way. Thanks for the appreciation of our service by giving us the finger.
@usmcgunner58 haha your service you are nothing more than a tool to the government who is ran by bankers haha. you arent defending anyone's freedom just making more money for the people who run the show. ^_^ time you wake up from your little dream bubble as a solider you nothing more than a slave or tool who do what ever orders you are given without question
What Can We Do Against Someone Who Dosen`t Give You Any Options Besides Funding There Option Wich Is One Can`t Go Anywhere With A Wall Closing In Behind You and 1 Way out Wich Is Infront Of You I hate the fucking violence
I guess some people would rather have a global militant Islamic enemy combatant element to have to duck and dodge for the next 300 years, since some of these people are just dead set against us killing them before they kill us. I mean what do these people intend to do to stop Islamic extremist terrorism....ask nicely? You have got to be kidding me. Thankfully not everybody lives in this pacifistic pie in the sky fantasy world. Some of us actually comprehend the meaning of "we are at war".
In addition, I have a solution for all these peace mongers that are all bent out of shape because they actually have to contribute to paying the price of freedom. I say we section off a part of America that we will not spend a dime to defend and see what happens. San Francisco for instance. Seems a good place to start. Since hardly anyone there believes freedom is worth going to war over anyways. I say we pull all our defense infrastructure out of there and see how long it takes.
You know I really don't want my money going to pay for any of this stuff that I don't benefit from either, like welfare, student aid, most foreign aid, global warming research, cap and trade, government health care, and a whole bunch of taxes that aren't used for anything but paying down our debt to China. So when can I have 85% of my taxes back for all those programs that do absolutely nothing for me?
i dont know about you but im armed and nobody is going to terrorize me, my family, or my community without some form of retaliation. im no pacifist ;o)
that said, theyre not attacking us because we're rich and free.
I don't understand what difference it makes WHY they are attacking us, as if any reason at all is justifiable. Even if they are completely right about us and we actually ARE the "evil" capitalist empire on the planet. It is still MY evil capitalist empire of a nation and I won't have it assaulted and desecrated by anyone regardless of their excuse. I will give them no aid and comfort by condoning a campaign of domestic social disobedience against the right of this nation to declare war.
Yup liberals have no life, so once their done complaining about one thing, they go to complaining about another thing, obviously show in this bullshit video. No life. U.S. Army!
Could somone explain how "freedom" could possibly be under threat by anything except a full scale invasion by a foreign country? What the hell is a "freedom hater?" What specific freedom do they dislike? The freedom to spew anti-economy hatred by convincing people to buy sub-prime mortgages? The economy? The only freedom I think of that I have lost is teh freedom to bring liquids onto an airplane with me. I guess I'll just have to use the liquids the airline provides me with.

You guys are all dum-basses,this war was fougt with out rasing taxes.And we kicked ass,then we stacked those asses on each other.And the media had a feild day.
I know,its just all of these stupid unpatriotic dumb asses,trying to forget 9/11. 3000 AMREICANS DIED ON THAT DAY,AND YOU JUST WANT TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.
Uhh,hello all the major terrorist groups are based in the middle east,so ya they do have connections to 9/11.And have you noticed that there have been no major terrorist attacks in the US since Bush was elected and invaded Iraq.O' and I'm sure Iraq would be much better as a military dictatorship.
You're a statistical genius! No terrorist attacks since we invaded Iraq? Wow! What an advent in thinking, disregarding the extremely low frequency of terrorist attacks in the first place and the fact that before 9/11 Al Qaeda warned the next president in 2000 that if the US didn't leave Israel, there would be an attack. You're a genius... not.
Seriously, where did you get that knowledge? You should be doing Condoleeza Rice's job with your investigative skills, err creativity.
Hey,when Bill was in charge,there was the USS cole,the OKC bombing,and oh'ya THE 1991 BOMBING on the world trade center.you need to a lot more research than me.
I said "terrorist" attacks. Al qaeda is not related to these. The USS bombing was done by the Sudanese government, the OKC bombing was done by people named Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and the 1993 WTC bombing (not 1991) was done for the same reasons: the United States being present in Isreal.
Looks like you failed again. Do some research. The Iraq government wasn't even involved in the 1993 WTC attack. It was just an Iraqi. This supports the fact that we should not be at war with them.
Your very stupid,Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were stooges for Al qaeda,The Iraqy goverment(under sadam,who hated america)funded major terrorist orgaizations.ANd I just remembered that in 1991,an airliner mtseriously crash over newyork city into the ocean.THere were witnesses that reported a smoking trail like a missle heading for the plane,and hitting it.
Now tell me under bush hasa there been another attack with massive civilan deaths?
Well you just went in a completely different direction. I guess that means you dodged the original point. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were not stooges for Al qaeda; that's fucking stupid.
Many nations fund guerrilla organizations. We trained some of the members of Al Qaeda.
In addition to that, PMC's exist.
Also, it doesn't matter if the leaders of a country hate the leaders of another country. It only becomes a problem when they get hostile.
democracy in Iraq? Somebody better let the Iraqis know.
A puppet government set up by the U.S., Iraqi resources and manufacturing sold off to Cheney and company for pennies on the dollar, Iraqi cultural artifacts looted and destroyed, an illegal occupying force and a mercenary army killing civilians, hospitals bombed, torture... wow. That's why most Iraqis think they were better off under Saddam.
Bush and the neocons want the oil. Democracy? You don't even have it in the United States.
Your right were not a democracy,were a republic.The electorial collage picks the president.
And Iraq is a democracy.The problem is that a democracy is a really bad idea.The original plan was a puppet goverment,but that didn't happen.And were do you get your facts from?The UN said we could invade in self defence,and for the search for WMDs.ANd killing civilians?!were not alowed to fire on a mosce with out permition!And torture,come on there doing a lot worse to our guys then what we do to them

You idot,Sadam helps the terrorists,the terrorists attack us=9/11
We have every reason to attack,If theres a threat,destroy it.Don't wait for them to fire first(9/11).Now invading Iraq is the retaliation strike.Were not just fighting Iraq,were fighting the arab world,they want to kill us.Invading Iraq is just moving the battle on there soil.
You idiot who said the Arab world is attacking the United States? A detached group of terrorist cells are a threat to every country. It was shown that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, did NOT possess WMD's and in fact had accomplished NOTHING for the United States at all, except drain our economy and overstretch our military, making our country even more vulnerable than it was before.
i thought attacking Afghanistan was the retaliatory strike. Also, no one in the arab world would try to kill you if you dont keep rubbing you face in their business. To move the battle into the arabian peninsula you invaded a country, killed thousands, are now about to leave it in state of turmoil. Nice Democracy. You guys should sell it in stores.
No they would try to kill you, its there religion. And I really sure Iraq was much better with a dictator,that droped nerve gas just to see its effects on the populance.
islam doesnt say to kill americans, secondly, what right do u have to force a democracy in another country. If by your standards Russia thought the US was going down hill, they could invade to restore order? NO!
Ya your right, it says kill all non belivers.Remember that big attack on India last week,or that school bombing that killed 300 school kids in russia a few years back.
"If by your standards Russia thought the US was going down hill, they could invade to restore order? NO!" Duh,we'ed kick there butt
currently, no, Russia would win. The American military has been stretched to the breaking point and cannot take an onslaught as mighty as that of the Red Army. Also, islam does not preach the killing of all non believers. That verse was used to warn muslims who were in small numbers at the time of Mohammed. It was used to warn them about their own family/clan members who might try to kill them, and were told to will fully defend themselves. The attack in india does not represent islam at all.
if you would use your brain to follow the news, you would know that it was related to the conflict in kashmir. IT has been a source of tension for both countries for the last half century, and will continue to be so. So do not if you are ignorant, blame islam or any other religion for this attack. The cowards do not represent anyone, and waste so many valueable lives. Also, please compare it to the crusades, hundreds of thousands were killed by the christians. I also suggest the holocaust.
We have stealth bombers,we have tanks that are better than there's,in 10 years we'll have guilded artilary,flying lasers,and a railgun with a range of 250 miles.
In addition to that, that still is a very low frequency of attacks form "terrorist" organizations, whether it be one or two guys, or an actual government.
Let me put this in prepective.If I was president,I would invade the whole middle east,and try to destroy every major terrorist orgaization out there/extremists,reistablish puppet goverments in there place,like we did in Iran,and try to bring there standard of living as close to ours as posslbe,while diverting there resources for our use,to fund the whole thing.and after a few years,establish republics in there place,then leave.And if any muslim extrimest arise,assinate them.
wow, first of all, before you make such claims learn to spell. Secondly, the puppet government was established in IRAQ. Thirdly, who made Americans dictators of world politics. What right would the US government have of invading the middle east due to their terrorists. During the KKK era, i dont recall Russia invading the USA to rid them of the terrorists. Think Before you speak

Your right Iraq is a puppet goverment,just like Germany,Japan,and Iraq 10 years ago.And we have every right to invade!What are you going to say if a nuke go's off in Newyork,D.C.,or L.A.!We are trying to prevent another 9/11,and launching a few missles at some caves in the middle east,like Cliton,isn't going to cut it.ANd were the hell does russian and the kkk have to do with anything?That was just stupid.
it was an analogy, and Iraq doesnt have anything to do with 911, its all about the oil. The war on terrorism was in Afghanistan, and look at that, its been lost already, so why try to mask everything with a need for global democracy. Also, the only country to have ever used a nuclear weapon is the US, thereby everyone else in the world should be trying to stop the US from using a nuclear weapons.

Iraq does help terrorists,there's a reason why,IED's are going off in Iraq(And don't say its the resistance,there freaking terrorists)And dude were kickin' ASS in Afghanistan,how on earth could we loss.And "the US is the only contry to use a nuke" thats just bullshit,we had a really good reason for using that nuke,and it saved more lifes than it took,trust me.And by the way,why is a Canadian commenting on a war its not fighting?
You sound foolish jetsam the United States using a Nuclear Bomb saved lives?! How? Are you some kind of psuedo psychic who can read into alternate futures or something? That bomb killed a massive amount of civilians fool, more than those who were killed on 9/11. There is never a good reason for that kind of loss of life. We are NOT winning the war on terrorism because of the Bush Administration's failed strategies.
dude i am an independent and can't vote cuz im 17 and my birthday is nov 11 but anyway i have enough common sense to see your retarded because think about it we havent won the war in iraq and its been how long and your saying that you want to attack more counrties like iran and afga and other counrties like that and the us can barly fund the iraq war how are you going to fund the others? demaded every american to give you hunderds of dollars of there hard earned money?
I'm 15,so I don't have a job.And if it took us 3 weeks to take over a country,with a few hundred dead,I say we pretty much won.Its just the resistance,and the stupid rules of engagment,that slow us down.
O we could fund it, but even I think Bush is too stupid to declare war. Were only winning cause we have tech like no one else. And this whole war was fought with out rasing taxes.
AND DON'T SAY IT RASIED NATIOAL DEPT!
Social programs like no child left behind,and wealfare did that. Those are the real programs we need off our bill.
on that note i would have to agree. Why should other people have to pay for someone who chooses to have 5 kids and be a single mother. The war did not raise the dept, however it did not help the economy either. if anything, it slowed it down too much, now its cascading all around the world. In this situation the government should spend more to give money to the people inorder to kick start the economy. Even if it means they must pay people to dig holes and refill them, then repeat.
The democrats are rasing the mimimum wage this thrusday to try to balance it. Howbet the republicans will raise the gas taxes blaiming it on inflation?
if you think were leaving Iraq anytime soon your about as stupid as obama. Hey, I know we blew the fuck out of your country but ummm, were gonna go now, Peace, yeah dosnt work that way guys.
Don't be a simpleton. We've been there five years.
On the subject of the video, I don't like the $16,500 figure as it does not take into account how we've been paying for the war. We didn't take the money in taxes, we borrowed it and will have to pay interest. What our government has done is not erroneously charge us, but taken out loans on our childrens' names and SSNs for bombs, bullets, band-aids and no bid cost plus contracts to war profiteers.
Impeach President Bush Now...Voting for Chuck Baldwin for president will stop this war immediately. He will Stop the Federal Reserve, stop taxing our income. Secure our boarders now. Stop this super Highway! Get back our constitution. The new world order is coming down! The ID chip is coming down. We need new people in the white house like Chuck Baldwin who will do something and restore our constitution. God help us all

I've got an idea.. How about we abandon these "social" programs like welfare, social security and the proposed "free healthcare" for all the lazy asses out there. That should be enough to pay for the war... It's not the wars fault she lost her job... Maybe she sucked at it... Maybe more people in America need to wake up and realize they don't deserve $15 an hour with full benefits to pick pineapples. Quit your whining, get a job, and realize America doesn't owe you a damn thing.. Not a penny...

You earn what you get in life. It's not supposed to be given to you by the government because you're a lazy SOB who thinks he disserves something given to him, or some program to take care of him, just because he fell out from between his mommas legs.
That was the intent a government by the consent of the governed. So, if 70% of us object to this war we can dry up funds (like the 2006 Congress was suppose to do) and withdraw our tax revenue... Right?
Nope, the government does not rely on taxes and has no money. So, it takes out a loan at interest with a private bank. The same one that prints the money and our labor, industry & land are collateral (serfs). The interest can never be paid - you need another loan (w/interest) to pay it.
There's a lot of people that work a lot harder than you who still struggle and have to pay for something that doesn't benefit them at all(the war). The only reason the war had the support it did is because of all these scary ass people walking around thinking a terrorist lives next door because the tv said so.
IT doesn't matter because the group of people the government borrowed that money from got rich...er. Not to mention it was the same group of people Germany borrowed money from. hmmm
Under Bush maybe 3 million net jobs have been created. Under Clinton, it was 22 million.
The apollo alliance claims a $30 billion/yr investment in renewable energy will create 3.3million decent jobs, end dependence on foreign oil, fight global warming, grow the economy by 1.4 trillion & save $284 billion/yr in lower energy costs.
That is a damn good deal. Millions of jobs, bigger GDP, lower energy costs, energy independence.
Did you fall off the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down, or were you born this stupid? The total cost of this war for Americans will exceed over TWO Trillion US Dollars!
There is more than just paying for bullets, has it ever occurred to you how much it will cost to take care of the permanently injured soldiers? Americans pay 343 million dollars every single day in Iraq for war supplies alone! Not to mention the homes,job,family,lifes, and so on these soldiers loose, moron!!!
No I didn't fall off the stupid tree. But guaguing by your behavior, functional illiteracy and attitude I assume your mother was either a low class whore or a screwup as a parent. :p
Back to your statement. Yes the war costs over 2 trillion. Probably 3 trillion or more in total when everything is added in. What of it? I said if we invested a fraction of the war money in alt. energy instead we'd be alot better off.
Functional illiteracy? Do you speak any language that non-gibbering idiots can understand? How about putting that into proper syntax, form, and grammar so that I can at least understand what you are saying before I dismiss it? Now, why don't you climb onto that Special Needs tricycle of yours with the fourth wheel attached for extra-ensured retard stability and pedal your fat ass down to the sports field and do some "outdoors" stuff for a change.
And I don't mean the free loaders. I mean good hard working Americans that we need to support, But NO our government will slash benefits that our good people have paid into to help support an illegal war. Is Osama in Iraq NO.Will he go to Baghdad to surrener NO. will he form another attack from Afgan or Pakisatan YES
People are not only dying in Baghdad,hundreds die every day in USA, bUT Bush doesn't care aboutthem.he wants victory in Iraq
When american employees, and corporations waste employers money as carelessly as our politicians have in this war,, They either get fired or thrown in jail. But our current leaders say they will keep spending our hard earned tax dollars in a country where MOST of them hate and kill us for maybe another 100 years if that is what it takes,, and they don't give a DAMN how many of our peopele die here in the usa that those tax dollars could save.
This video is BULLSHIT. Only 20% of our income is going into deffending our Nation, more of it is going to Medicare (alone), which the demercrats want to spend more on.
And even more of it is going to social security (alone) which the jackasses (demercratic donky) want to spen more on also
TheSkyLighters: People benefit from social security & medicare, and you need to pay for retirement no matter what. How do people benefit from this war?
This war costs roughly 250 billion/yr in direct & indirect costs. What benefit is there from it? SS & Medicare benefit america. This war does not.
Democrats wanted to spend less on medicare. If the dems had been allowed to negotiate prescription drug prices, we'd save $20 billion/yr. But Bush wouldn't let it happen.

I'd rather spend money on a war than pay to feed a bunch of worthless homeless people too lazy to find work, when illegal immigrants have no trouble surviving. Or these dumbasses dying of AIDS because they were too lazy to use condoms. Or how about these idiot teenagers who have children when they are 16 then turn to the state to raise them because they are too "moral" to have an abortion. I resent paying for these things more than I resent the money wasted on the war.

I support the Iraq war as its kept us safe and KNOW we should keep it going till we crush Al Queda if you dont like it to bad as not 1 dem is going to end it lmfao Thank you Pelosi
The Real Terrorists are our politicos Yeah that is right MCCain and HIllary and Obama. They are all paid for by the same shits that run the country and they convince you little people to fight over parties not issues. WAKE AMERICA FIX THE Political SYSTEM NOW
These charges spell out by far the greatest betrayal of the American people by a President in our history. The gravity of the charges against Bush — in which Cheney is entirely complicit — is such that if they should go unexamined and unjudged, it must inevitably corrode the very character of this country and cripple forever its viability as a Republic.

its funny how people say all the "we must fight and win" stuff is propaganda, well whats this? Its the same, its tries to sway people into wrong disisions, everyone blames the government when something happens like 9/11, but when it comes down to it its because anti-war bull makes us turn tail and leave, then our enemies come after us, and all you blame everyone else. Take charge for once, and realize that you or others like you contributed to the death of thousands of innocents doing this.
Thank you Americans for all your support of our Apartheid Nazi-like regime, Billions fo dollars and now the Iraqi oil that will be pumped FREE to Haifa!
We really own you, - I mean we really appreciate it!
C'mon fellow Americans, Stand Your Ground and fight corruption. I did and I won. You can fight too and when we all fight together for the freedoms guranteed in the U.S. Constitution we all win. We need a REVELOTION in order to rid this Country from the likes of the Bush family, Cheney and the rest of the "terrorist" organizations the White House terrorists are behind.
type in -- HOW THEY BLEEP YOU -- and learn something!
The terrorists are in the Pentagon, white house, congress, Halliburton, blackwater etc... All these WAR PROFITEERS are enjoying the lack of intelligence and critical thinking in America.
The ignorant continue to think that their vote counts.
type in -- HOW THEY BLEEP YOU -- and learn something!
Fuck John Mccaine, the stupid old fuck. If I was tortured in Vietnam for five fucking years I would be the most anti-war person you'd ever meet. Could it be that the NVA could have psychologically brainwashed him or something?
Go back to bed America, your government has got it all sorted out. Here, watch some American Gladiator...Go back to bed America (apologies to Bill Hicks RIP)
hmmm americans please be more aware... do u even know what USA is?its the promised land,before the jews moves back to palestine@israel,if u americans are proud of ur country,please,look back,who built it??,.sorry to say,.but please be more competitive..look at ur movies, charlie n chocolate factory,matrix, pirates of carribean,who wrote it n about whom?? whatever it is, u guys cant even differentiate whats american anymore,.please look in the looking glass, and dont fall down the rabbit hole..
Well be in Iraq and Afganistan for as long as we need to be.Most of the idiots are afraid that means a 50 year war, but we are still in Germany,Okinowa,Italy,and all over the globe. We have to be because any time someone needs help, we wind up having to do it. Face the fact that the rest of the world either need us or fear us,and the ones who fear us fear us because we are the only people who can stop them. The countries that oppose us seek to harm us and/or our allies. We wont let that happen.
We go over to Iraq because the people of Iraq are defenseless and need the time it takes to build their country and defenses. Remember we broke, we gotta fix it,but when we sent pictures back the idealogs who hate us and our country call it propaganda.They said the same thing when my grandfather reported the atrosities across europe in WW2. They are still mad about the elections in 2000 and 2004 and will destroy the country if thats what it take to win. The sad thing is victory means our defeat.
Why do you send young humans with guns and a sense of power to decide life and death and then call them butchers and murderers. This is hypocritical just like the politicans we have. Give them a camera and send them to Iraq and they will send you pictures give them a gun and they will send you dead bodies its simple blame the government that send them there not the individual with the gun.
800,000 is the usual quote, but the U.N. enemy of america has it at 94,000. Regardless, the average liberal in america thinks 95,000 people is an atrosity unless they are unborn.
The U.S. gives millions to 3rd world countries and we know it will never be repaid. I do'nt here anyone fussing about that.The American people need to start thinking for thier selfs. We should support our troops at all cost. Truth be known unless you are the comander in chief you do'nt know all the facts. Everything you see on tv, newspapers radio ect. is all propagand it's all something someone wants to sway your judgment to thier agenda. (making more money for them) X
countries are loaned that money on purpose as a scam because America knows they cannot repay. Funny thing is all the money is spent right back on American Firms and then the end result is we have slaves that are in debt with us forever
I read an amazing book about that whole agenda: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man: How the U.S. Uses Globalization to Cheat Poor Countries Out of Trillions by John Perkins.
It only took me a few hours to burn through it and I see big business much differently
So all of you that are for not paying the bill are for giving our troops no armor, no ways of defending itself, and when they come home, who are you going to blame when we get attacked again, uh, the army, even though its YOUR fault, idk about you, but I'm willing to pay money for these bills if it means keeping the country, people, and soldier I love dearly safe, idc about you who are for this, we can blow your asses off the planet for all I care.
wow.. people are justing you negative ratings with no reply.
I want the war to end as bad as everyone here, so don't get me wrong. But how the heck are we going to do it? just pull all the troops out and expect we don't get chased after? right...
The US don't give a flying fuck if a murdering dictator is in power. The Iraqi war is being fought for oil. US has put dictators into power, as long as they can control them.
Ok...lets cut the cost of the war off your bill. Those of us actually fighting over there dont need armor or ammo. We just want your bill to be lower....dont worry about us.
NO its not Iraqi body count says around 80,000. The newest study shows 151,000 dead. Lancet was debunked awhile back.. The number is outrageous BBC reported the worst year at 37,000 dead.. 1 million is just bogus
ballsauce666 you know what maybe i dont do jack shit for you, well hell maybe me and my brothers in arms should just disappear. i wonder how long it would take your pathetic ass to realize how screwed you would be. you fucking dumb bitch leave the country if you dont like it and im sorry they took your ass off welfair Sincerely a US Soldier

Well said... I personally am fighting for the people fighting beside me and my family and support. All the protesters can talk all they want from the sideline.
i was proud to be an american before this war. i am not proud now. we have been manipulated on a mass scale to believe that what we are doing in iraq is right. this war, like every other is driven by money, greed, and hateful men. this war is an example of racism in its purist form. these soldiers bring death in the name of peace. kill the fathers and feed the children? the US military is to blame for the hate that breeds in iraq and in the radical muslim community. shame on america!!!
I hope some Iraqi kills your family, then you'll see why us troops signed up..and how the fuck are you going to blame us for doing a job that your to much of a bitch to do. I hope god kills you for your stupid comments
I hope you lose your home, find NO work, see your quality of life decline and find your children either paying a HUUUUGE deficit or fighting wars for Israel and the crazy Zionist pieces of shit.
first off MARINE4545 your fuckin retarted and stop speaking of "battles" you probly never incounter one learn the term "oh shit ied" and "brace for a roll over" 2nd stop worrying so much on the money spent on funding the iraq war worry more on illegal immigrants
My brother moved out..im 21 and now you want another shooting...well you just hold on lets see how much medication i cant get...you wont give me my pills...well ok then..i got another thing lined up
Hey stop complaining! 1. Be happy that people are defending our freedom so you can have these kinds of thoughts 2. If it sucks so much why dont you just leave. No one is making you stay here.
the American public is obviously not educated on the U.S. budged. discretionary spending for the Iraq war is about 1/3rd what we spend annually on Medicare and Medicaide. Social Security is even worse. the money spent on the war is for security in the future. the Attacks on Sept 11th sent this country into an economic slump which lasted for years. we stay on the attack now and prevent this.
However, in 2007, what do you think more was spent on, [education, transportation, agriculture, energy, science, technology, natural resources, environment, foreign affairs, community and regional development, and administration of justice] ALL combined, or military by itself? The answer is military by itself.
incorrect. Medicare/medicaide adn Social security account for half of all expenditures. by the Federal Government. the federal budget is accessable online. all those other things don't require large budgets , just proper administration and responsible spending.
the thiings you mentioned don't require large budgets and never have. a large military is the result of 2 world wars and nearly a hundred small conflicts. you don't need a budget for natural resources, the environment, regional development and administration of justice doesn't require that much either.
that's a reather easy explanation. the federal government is the worst business in this country. every department. the department of defense has always lost lots and lots of money. the DOD is run by people who know defense, not accounting, not business. this has been this way for a century and will continue. just a fact of life that has continued through every administration. the cost of this war is actually about 1/3 the cost of Medicare so there isnt much of an impact.
you are correct about us borrowing money since a recession began while clinton was still in office, however the downward trend turned into a landslide for 3 years following the loss of the world trade center. when something in which the world conducts its trade in is lost, there is a financial ripple effect. us borrowing money isn't because the economy is bad necessarily , it is because federal costs supercede federal income (tax)
Jonh mccain admitted he the only thing he knows about the economy is tax cuts bring more revenue and ear marks piss it away. As to the nonsense about a 100 year war, maybe we should end the war against germany, korea, italy, japan,etc. They are not allies, we are just there because we are evil imperialist. Common sense tells us if we fuck over our friends when they need us we cant count on them when we need them. Thats a liberal for ya, only give a damn about if it fits on a bumper sticker.
McCain says he knows alot about economics and more war in Iran will give plenty of boys jobs for a long time because Iran has 4 times as many people as Iraq so it will take alot longer to pacify. Then there will be all the factory jobs people can handle making tanks, ammunition, and bombers for all that fighting so the economic situation should be looking pretty darn good under McCain.
John McCain is totally wrong with his Iraq War policy. It's pretty obvious that if we want to stay in Iraq for a hundred years we'll have to consolidate a strong fiscal policy and imply a strong social conservative base to provide an ample conscription base with a superior and larger tax base. He, like most neo-conservative have neglected that impact of dwindling support for social conservatism with a short-term, rear-guard action against Islamo-fascism. There's no sight of final victory.

I guess some people would rather have a global militant Islamic enemy combatant element to have to duck and dodge for the next 300 years, since some of these people are just dead set against us killing them before they kill us. I mean what do these people intend to do to stop Islamic extremist terrorism....ask nicely? You have got to be kidding me. Thankfully not everybody lives in this pacifistic pie in the sky fantasy world. Some of us actually comprehend the meaning of "we are at war".

In addition, I have a solution for all these peace mongers that are all bent out of shape because they actually have to contribute to paying the price of freedom. I say we section off a part of America that we will not spend a dime to defend and see what happens. San Francisco for instance. Seems a good place to start. Since hardly anyone there believes freedom is worth going to war over anyways. I say we pull all our defense infrastructure out of there and see how long it takes.

You know I really don't want my money going to pay for any of this stuff that I don't benefit from either, like welfare, student aid, most foreign aid, global warming research, cap and trade, government health care, and a whole bunch of taxes that aren't used for anything but paying down our debt to China. So when can I have 85% of my taxes back for all those programs that do absolutely nothing for me?

I don't understand what difference it makes WHY they are attacking us, as if any reason at all is justifiable. Even if they are completely right about us and we actually ARE the "evil" capitalist empire on the planet. It is still MY evil capitalist empire of a nation and I won't have it assaulted and desecrated by anyone regardless of their excuse. I will give them no aid and comfort by condoning a campaign of domestic social disobedience against the right of this nation to declare war.

What specific freedom do they dislike? The freedom to spew anti-economy hatred by convincing people to buy sub-prime mortgages? The economy?

Uhh,hello all the major terrorist groups are based in the middle east,so ya they do have connections to 9/11.And have you noticed that there have been no major terrorist attacks in the US since Bush was elected and invaded Iraq.O' and I'm sure Iraq would be much better as a military dictatorship.
jetsam50000 3 years ago
You're a statistical genius! No terrorist attacks since we invaded Iraq? Wow! What an advent in thinking, disregarding the extremely low frequency of terrorist attacks in the first place and the fact that before 9/11 Al Qaeda warned the next president in 2000 that if the US didn't leave Israel, there would be an attack. You're a genius... not.
Seriously, where did you get that knowledge? You should be doing Condoleeza Rice's job with your investigative skills, err creativity.
Do some research.
VampireSaviorX 3 years ago
Hey,when Bill was in charge,there was the USS cole,the OKC bombing,and oh'ya THE 1991 BOMBING on the world trade center.you need to a lot more research than me.
jetsam50000 3 years ago
I said "terrorist" attacks. Al qaeda is not related to these. The USS bombing was done by the Sudanese government, the OKC bombing was done by people named Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and the 1993 WTC bombing (not 1991) was done for the same reasons: the United States being present in Isreal.
Looks like you failed again. Do some research. The Iraq government wasn't even involved in the 1993 WTC attack. It was just an Iraqi. This supports the fact that we should not be at war with them.
VampireSaviorX 3 years ago
Your very stupid,Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were stooges for Al qaeda,The Iraqy goverment(under sadam,who hated america)funded major terrorist orgaizations.ANd I just remembered that in 1991,an airliner mtseriously crash over newyork city into the ocean.THere were witnesses that reported a smoking trail like a missle heading for the plane,and hitting it.
Now tell me under bush hasa there been another attack with massive civilan deaths?
jetsam50000 3 years ago
Well you just went in a completely different direction. I guess that means you dodged the original point. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were not stooges for Al qaeda; that's fucking stupid.
Many nations fund guerrilla organizations. We trained some of the members of Al Qaeda.
In addition to that, PMC's exist.
Also, it doesn't matter if the leaders of a country hate the leaders of another country. It only becomes a problem when they get hostile.

democracy in Iraq? Somebody better let the Iraqis know.
A puppet government set up by the U.S., Iraqi resources and manufacturing sold off to Cheney and company for pennies on the dollar, Iraqi cultural artifacts looted and destroyed, an illegal occupying force and a mercenary army killing civilians, hospitals bombed, torture... wow. That's why most Iraqis think they were better off under Saddam.

You were never attacked by Iraq. There's no self-defense involved.
Bush/Cheney lied to you about the WMD's. Iraq was not a threat.
Saddam killing civilians? Is the U.S. the world police force?
Torture is ok if they do it first?

jetsam50000 3 years ago
You idiot who said the Arab world is attacking the United States? A detached group of terrorist cells are a threat to every country. It was shown that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, did NOT possess WMD's and in fact had accomplished NOTHING for the United States at all, except drain our economy and overstretch our military, making our country even more vulnerable than it was before.

jetsam50000 3 years ago
currently, no, Russia would win. The American military has been stretched to the breaking point and cannot take an onslaught as mighty as that of the Red Army. Also, islam does not preach the killing of all non believers. That verse was used to warn muslims who were in small numbers at the time of Mohammed. It was used to warn them about their own family/clan members who might try to kill them, and were told to will fully defend themselves. The attack in india does not represent islam at all.
soccer4umair 3 years ago 2
if you would use your brain to follow the news, you would know that it was related to the conflict in kashmir. IT has been a source of tension for both countries for the last half century, and will continue to be so. So do not if you are ignorant, blame islam or any other religion for this attack. The cowards do not represent anyone, and waste so many valueable lives. Also, please compare it to the crusades, hundreds of thousands were killed by the christians. I also suggest the holocaust.

jetsam50000 3 years ago
it was an analogy, and Iraq doesnt have anything to do with 911, its all about the oil. The war on terrorism was in Afghanistan, and look at that, its been lost already, so why try to mask everything with a need for global democracy. Also, the only country to have ever used a nuclear weapon is the US, thereby everyone else in the world should be trying to stop the US from using a nuclear weapons.

You sound foolish jetsam the United States using a Nuclear Bomb saved lives?! How? Are you some kind of psuedo psychic who can read into alternate futures or something?

jetsam50000 3 years ago
on that note i would have to agree. Why should other people have to pay for someone who chooses to have 5 kids and be a single mother. The war did not raise the dept, however it did not help the economy either. if anything, it slowed it down too much, now its cascading all around the world. In this situation the government should spend more to give money to the people inorder to kick start the economy. Even if it means they must pay people to dig holes and refill them, then repeat.

On the subject of the video, I don't like the $16,500 figure as it does not take into account how we've been paying for the war. We didn't take the money in taxes, we borrowed it and will have to pay interest. What our government has done is not erroneously charge us, but taken out loans on our childrens' names and SSNs for bombs, bullets, band-aids and no bid cost plus contracts to war profiteers.

It is collected from "the people" by "the government" for the sole purpose of being spent on "the people"
This is why the peoples representatives ( congress ) must declare "war".. on a country,
not this made up garbage by the executive branch "unending war" on a term, "terror"
Besides, Iraq is not a war, it is a straight up illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation.

That was the intent a government by the consent of the governed. So, if 70% of us object to this war we can dry up funds (like the 2006 Congress was suppose to do) and withdraw our tax revenue... Right?
Nope, the government does not rely on taxes and has no money. So, it takes out a loan at interest with a private bank. The same one that prints the money and our labor, industry & land are collateral (serfs). The interest can never be paid - you need another loan (w/interest) to pay it.

C'mon fellow Americans, Stand Your Ground and fight corruption. I did and I won. You can fight too and when we all fight together for the freedoms guranteed in the U.S. Constitution we all win. We need a REVELOTION in order to rid this Country from the likes of the Bush family, Cheney and the rest of the "terrorist" organizations the White House terrorists are behind.

The terrorists are in the Pentagon, white house, congress, Halliburton, blackwater etc... All these WAR PROFITEERS are enjoying the lack of intelligence and critical thinking in America.
The ignorant continue to think that their vote counts.

Fuck John Mccaine, the stupid old fuck. If I was tortured in Vietnam for five fucking years I would be the most anti-war person you'd ever meet. Could it be that the NVA could have psychologically brainwashed him or something?

Well be in Iraq and Afganistan for as long as we need to be.Most of the idiots are afraid that means a 50 year war, but we are still in Germany,Okinowa,Italy,and all over the globe. We have to be because any time someone needs help, we wind up having to do it. Face the fact that the rest of the world either need us or fear us,and the ones who fear us fear us because we are the only people who can stop them. The countries that oppose us seek to harm us and/or our allies. We wont let that happen.

We go over to Iraq because the people of Iraq are defenseless and need the time it takes to build their country and defenses. Remember we broke, we gotta fix it,but when we sent pictures back the idealogs who hate us and our country call it propaganda.They said the same thing when my grandfather reported the atrosities across europe in WW2. They are still mad about the elections in 2000 and 2004 and will destroy the country if thats what it take to win. The sad thing is victory means our defeat.

Why do you send young humans with guns and a sense of power to decide life and death and then call them butchers and murderers. This is hypocritical just like the politicans we have. Give them a camera and send them to Iraq and they will send you pictures give them a gun and they will send you dead bodies its simple blame the government that send them there not the individual with the gun.

The U.S. gives millions to 3rd world countries and we know it will never be repaid. I do'nt here anyone fussing about that.The American people need to start thinking for thier selfs. We should support our troops at all cost. Truth be known unless you are the comander in chief you do'nt know all the facts. Everything you see on tv, newspapers radio ect. is all propagand it's all something someone wants to sway your judgment to thier agenda. (making more money for them) X

So all of you that are for not paying the bill are for giving our troops no armor, no ways of defending itself, and when they come home, who are you going to blame when we get attacked again, uh, the army, even though its YOUR fault, idk about you, but I'm willing to pay money for these bills if it means keeping the country, people, and soldier I love dearly safe, idc about you who are for this, we can blow your asses off the planet for all I care.

i was proud to be an american before this war. i am not proud now. we have been manipulated on a mass scale to believe that what we are doing in iraq is right. this war, like every other is driven by money, greed, and hateful men. this war is an example of racism in its purist form. these soldiers bring death in the name of peace. kill the fathers and feed the children? the US military is to blame for the hate that breeds in iraq and in the radical muslim community. shame on america!!!

horacehorsecollar20 3 years ago
the American public is obviously not educated on the U.S. budged. discretionary spending for the Iraq war is about 1/3rd what we spend annually on Medicare and Medicaide. Social Security is even worse. the money spent on the war is for security in the future. the Attacks on Sept 11th sent this country into an economic slump which lasted for years. we stay on the attack now and prevent this.
rugger8541 3 years ago
However, in 2007, what do you think more was spent on, [education, transportation, agriculture, energy, science, technology, natural resources, environment, foreign affairs, community and regional development, and administration of justice] ALL combined, or military by itself? The answer is military by itself.
Ledwix 3 years ago
incorrect. Medicare/medicaide adn Social security account for half of all expenditures. by the Federal Government. the federal budget is accessable online. all those other things don't require large budgets , just proper administration and responsible spending.
rugger8541 3 years ago
Hmmm? How am I incorrect? I never even mentioned Medicare/medicaide/social security. I just stated a known fact about the ones I did mention.
Ledwix 3 years ago
the thiings you mentioned don't require large budgets and never have. a large military is the result of 2 world wars and nearly a hundred small conflicts. you don't need a budget for natural resources, the environment, regional development and administration of justice doesn't require that much either.
rugger8541 3 years ago
yeah yeah... Explain the over 800 bases in over 130 countries.
Explain the Trillion + that the pentagon lost.
Explain the $100 Halliburton hammers and $100 load of laundry...
Explain the deficit and the cost of this war.
Explain the high interest loans.
moron.
ballsauce666 3 years ago
that's a reather easy explanation. the federal government is the worst business in this country. every department. the department of defense has always lost lots and lots of money. the DOD is run by people who know defense, not accounting, not business. this has been this way for a century and will continue. just a fact of life that has continued through every administration. the cost of this war is actually about 1/3 the cost of Medicare so there isnt much of an impact.
rugger8541 3 years ago
9/11 had a very limited, local effect on an already sliding economy. In total, 4000 Americans have died in Iraq, whereas 3000 died in 9/11.
Ledwix 3 years ago
Wrong. America was already borrowing epic amounts of money before 9/11 happened.
Powerw1s3 3 years ago
you are correct about us borrowing money since a recession began while clinton was still in office, however the downward trend turned into a landslide for 3 years following the loss of the world trade center. when something in which the world conducts its trade in is lost, there is a financial ripple effect. us borrowing money isn't because the economy is bad necessarily , it is because federal costs supercede federal income (tax)
rugger8541 3 years ago
Jonh mccain admitted he the only thing he knows about the economy is tax cuts bring more revenue and ear marks piss it away. As to the nonsense about a 100 year war, maybe we should end the war against germany, korea, italy, japan,etc. They are not allies, we are just there because we are evil imperialist. Common sense tells us if we fuck over our friends when they need us we cant count on them when we need them. Thats a liberal for ya, only give a damn about if it fits on a bumper sticker.
cwsbradley 3 years ago
McCain says he knows alot about economics and more war in Iran will give plenty of boys jobs for a long time because Iran has 4 times as many people as Iraq so it will take alot longer to pacify. Then there will be all the factory jobs people can handle making tanks, ammunition, and bombers for all that fighting so the economic situation should be looking pretty darn good under McCain.

John McCain is totally wrong with his Iraq War policy. It's pretty obvious that if we want to stay in Iraq for a hundred years we'll have to consolidate a strong fiscal policy and imply a strong social conservative base to provide an ample conscription base with a superior and larger tax base. He, like most neo-conservative have neglected that impact of dwindling support for social conservatism with a short-term, rear-guard action against Islamo-fascism. There's no sight of final victory.
