You know, the Iraq conflict is a central cog in the Military Industrial Complex' plan.

They were DESPERATE to forego the so called PEACE DIVIDEND that Reagan touted as a result of the fall of the Soviet Union. There was a lot of pressure coming to bear upon them to explain why the Peace Dividend was not materializing.

George W. Bush, **** Cheney, and Donnie Rumsfeld ... Neo-Cons all ... devoted themselves to protecting this vast money sucking machine.

The Republican party has sadly evolved to be the party that cares little about our security .... or our soldiers .... but only spending an ever increasing quota of our tax dollars.

Just think ... we spend more on the Military than ALL OTHER NATIONS OF THE WORLD COMBINED!!!!

And that doesn't even count the Iraq and Afghanistan war!

  You got it Goppy> And wasn't this war to liberate the Iraqi's? I think we've liberated more than a million of them-forever. And there's those four million who have left the country.
  
  No telling how many have been injured permanently. But not to fear the DU will keep getting them for the next 1/2 billion years.
  
  And don't I remember der Bush saying all they have to do is tell us to leave and we'll get out? The was two or three years ago. I do believe they've asked us several times since then. We're still there.
  
  And there's that little matter of Oil. We haven't got control of all of it yet. As Bush said a couple of years ago. We can't go and leave all that oil to the terrorists. I'm not sure he meant Iraqi's or some others. Hey, he might not even know.
  
  I heard McCain was looking for Iraq - somewhere up there between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Maybe he thought it was between Kashmir and China?
