7 trillion dollars later, a down US economy, 2 million innocents dead, 1 million displaced, hundreds of thousands injured, no oil, submission of the american people to government lies....

i'd call that a success.

@EeeScape I agree with you that what Wilkerson speaks of is not of an anti-Jewish or even anti-Israel viewpoint, but the huge racket these wars are really about or based on. The Israeli govt is evil, no doubt about it, the leadership of it anyway; but I don't buy into the claim many young'uns in the US have about Israel supposedly controlling Washington for any religious or sick-religious reasons. It's like former USMC Major Gen. Smedley Butler wrote with his book, "War is a Racket".

@feyzu66 Faithful people have committed many atrocities throughout history, that includes Popes, Kings & political figures. I'm not a God fearing man, but I was once upon a time, and almost every bad thing I ever did was during that time, I don't blame religion, but I am 'faithless' now and I don't so much as yell at someone without apologizing and making things right. I'm a decent person, but I know I can be a better, I will not do this because of God, I will do this because it is right.

@seancarletonzero religion did not do this or religious people its faithless people who are the cancer of the world, they only believe in profit...so why fuck religion?

[feyzu66]

@geawesomenessed yes oil, plenty of it...they will make more than they spent...

[robjla1]

lol fail not win

[DickOPlenty]

yet most americans still don't know it was about oil. why doesn't the mainstream media talk about western oil companies using chinese companies as a front when making oil deals b/c the west is unpopular? and why don't they talk about the military-industrial complex? the MSM exist to distract from the real issues. with the internet, one can never believe them again. they shovel shit and call it "news"

@237Michael

You know what's interesting is, not one IDF soldier is in Afghanistan or Iraq.

I don't know why this is never brought up, then again maybe the one who does would be called "Anti-Semetic" in some twisted way for mentioning it.

Israel is dragging the U.S. into the Abyss due to the consent (and collaboration) of the 1% and the apathy of (most of) the 99%.
