Gen. McChrystal may profit from Afghan troop surge?

[johndodrill]

No troops on the ground have said that there are enough troops to guarantee the safety of the Afghans from the Taliban. So, whether there was profiteering or not, significantly more troop than even were asked for were needed.

Let's send Jenna Jameson and all the Vivid girls over to Afghanistan. They'll wear out the enemy. O-Rah!

Surge will only work if going after the Taliban is secondary and the population primary.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." - General Smedley D. Butler, two time Medal of Honor recipient

It is time to pack up the shit and send Nintendo soldiers back home. With every other day passed, America's situation in Afghanistan and internationally, gets more desperate.

the bourgeoisie starts wars for profit. WW2 was a huge success for many corporations. but its the normal working people that must fight and die

[69QuIzAcK69]

War for profit? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I don't believe it... flush them all people, bring the boys home. Why are our troops dying for billionaires?

[truthIsStranger]

@69QuIzAcK69

Smedley Butler could tell you why. War is a racket.

[TheAceofOcea]

@69QuIzAcK69 Ron Paul is wanting to prevent anymore crap in middle-east its already messed up enough and the USA cant afford to be the world's police alone anymore, this is why Ron Paul thinks the north american cooperation will sooner or later be established, i too think its obvious, anyways the guy you need is Ron Paul for that ! just vote for him no ? if i was in USA i would vote for him....

This iis a below the belt, piece ;-)

[troglodyte3344]

@charlessmyth hey that was funny if you meant to spell peace that way. stupid if you didnt.

[iTellYouNoLie]

well DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[mojdfiv]

I agree with iTellYouNoLie. If you look at the contractors and people who have financial interests in the middle east you will find many of them are the same people from the Bush administration who promoted that the united states push into Iraq and Afghanistan. They are the companies who made large sums of money from the war.

Same goes with the Obama administration look at his bills he is passing and who benefits and you will find a large chunk of his administration stuffing their pockets.
