Welcome to NATIONAL DAY OF SHAME: March 20, 2013 (10 Year Anniversary of Invading Iraq)

[IdaBriggs]

To recap:

We invaded Iraq because the "leaders" of this country LIED to us (pretending we should be afraid of Iraq and its mythical "weapons of mass destruction&quot so they could STEAL OIL and GET RICH selling WAR SUPPLIES.

Tens of thousands of INNOCENT PEOPLE have been KILLED, including children and nursing mothers.

Tens of thousands of INNOCENT PEOPLE have been MAIMED, including children and nursing mothers.

Thousands of OUR SOLDIERS - men and women who put politics aside to obey their "commander in chief" - have been KILLED.

Thousands of OUR SOLDIERS - men and women who put politics aside to obey their "commander in chief" - have been MAIMED.

Our economy has been destroyed as we PAID THE LIARS AND THIEVES FOR WAR SUPPLIES instead of feeding our hungry, housing our homeless, taking care of our elderly, and treating our sick.

Politics was treated like a game: winner take all.

The United States lost. AND NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

Bow your head in shame. Pray for OUR VICTIMS. This is OUR country, and until we make things right with ACCOUNTABILITY, We The People are SHAMED before the World.

May the curses of the righteous and the innocent strike the Architects of War for Profit.

God Damn Them To Hell.

End Rant.

1. Yes, it is a national day of shame!

And you are correct, not only has no one been held accountable but those who lied this country into war are living in luxury, still treated with 'respect' by our useless media and still working behind the scenes and sometimes have the gall to appear in public, to keep this country at war forever.

5. It is all about the MONEY. They've been allowed to keep it.

They will try to do it again.

Why not? It worked....

7. Yes, we are badly in need of some heroes in this country at this time. But there seems to be

no sign of anyone who is willing to start the process of holding the criminals accountable. Even if all we did to them was to retrieve the money they got through the huge deception that was the Iraq war, it would punishment enough for those whose only purpose in life is to get richer. It would probably destroy them. And we could use that money now instead of trying to take it from the elderly, the poor and the disabled.

2. AND they told us it would only cost $50Billion and last a couple of weeks. $3Trillion later...

Bush actually fired a chief economist for saying the war may actually cost $200Billion when they said $50Billion.

3. I think that was Paul O'Neill, one of the few decent Republicans at the time.

He contradicted Rummy on the cost of the war, but even he got it wrong. Airc, he stated that the war would cost way more than the $40 billion Rummy claimed, and would more likely cost four times that amount. For trying to tell the truth, he was attacked and smeared by the criminals who lied this country into war.

Anyone who dared to interfere with their well-prepared propaganda and lies was instantly attacked and if possible, ruined.

4. We all thought $200 billion was shocking....and then....

The most incredible heist of a nation since that Duetsch H-guy

6. When lying pays better than telling the truth --

what is a capitalist to do?
