ByeBye 2014.

Can we call it an escalation now?

If not, how many advisers and air strikes make it an escalation in Iraq?

I voted for this guy to get us out, now we're going in.

Not happy.

Where is the special tax on the wealthy to pay for this debacle????

7. Typically when the US goes into places it's for $$$$$. The MIC sees money and the big money

investors see $$$$$ in destruction and rebuilding ... and/or resources like oil. I know some have altruistic goals, but really, in reality, it's about $$$$$ and the US leaves a place totally fucked up.

We see this over and over again ... but we as tax payers have little say. In fact, more and more, citizens in the US have little say about anything. Someone posted an analysis on this earlier today ... the rich and powerful rule this country ... citizens think they do, but that is so DUH!

6. Makes cheney happy

And the war department. First we trained the IS soldiers. Then we gave them American weapons. This is all very well known. And now the embers of the Iraqi war are smoking.
