If I wanted to rip off the American people and then bankrupt their country, starting an insurgency that required billions and billions of dollars to fight would be a hell of a way to do it. Just look at the Soviet-Afghan war. The idea was to lure the Soviets into a Vietnam style conflict that would sap their strength and which incidentally led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now, we have the same guys who ran this operation in charge of our country and the exact same thing is happening. Only this time, it's happening to us. All the while, the military industrial complex, which Eisenhower warned us about, is growing richer and more powerful every second. With America bankrupted and weakened, who can stand in their way?
