  • A banker giving advice on war?

  • What span is saying is that the war is about protecting America and about oil, the two are not mutually exclusive. He also admitted that he feels that it is OK for governments to lie too their citizens if it is for the greater good, i.e. WMD's.

  • What would you say to the army offering young ppl college loans and the such by getting a let's say 2 or 3 yr commitment out of them, but also including in the fine print that the army can bring you back into the war when it deems necessary. Many ppl get drawn back like this.That's kind of wrong, don't you think.

    Not to mention the legitimacy of the wars. But that's another question in itself.

  • Continued-

    They new what they were doing. When Liberal elitists make statements like think it just proves what condescending assholes they are. Their basic premise is people don't know what is best for themselves because they're to stupid, and the government knows what's best! If you think so little of people why do you want to go out of your way to protect them that much!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!

  • We need oil ladies and gentlemen! What do you think drives western economies? Magic Liberal dust?????? Think again!!!

    And I hate when leftists say: You're sending more young boys to die for oil!"

    Kindly shut your ignorant self up! That statement implies we are picking up people from the streets and forcing them to go to Iraq. The young men and woman over there, VOLUNTEERED to join the military! There is no draft.
