Why is it that conservatives dont want healthcare, but they loved liberating Iraq, and their people? |

1. Yeah. No complaints about the mega-billions wasted there. |
|
When it comes to chopping brown people to shreds with cluster bombs and dumping incendiary white phosphorus on children, money is no object. No price is too high to pay to dish out some old-fashion American ass-kicking. It doesn't particularly matter whose ass is being kicked, as long as there's an easy target available.

4. That's right.... the Iraqis had/have better health care than USians! |
|
Not that they shouldn't--they certainly endured enough.
But the whole thing is totally crazy.

3. I don't think the conservatives give a rat's ass about the Iraqis or |
|
liberating them. It was always about vanquishing and conquering and enriching those involved in the MIC and rebuilding that which we destroyed. And it just so happens that they are sitting on the most valuable and crucial commodity in the world.
And they damn sure don't care about your health or mine. Never have, never will.

5. Bush planned to use the war as an election issue. |
|
And those murderers pulled it off in 2004. They have Roberts and Alito to show for it.

7. Because they never want to do the right thing. Ever. |
|
Any time Conservatives spout their ideology, always know that the opposite of what they are saying will benefit the largest amount of people.

10. They think they are buying loyalty from Iraq. Later if we need them |
|
they will support our position. IMO, I would not depend on Iraq. They are shrewd. Even when they had oil money coming in, they were demanding and we obliged--Paid the Stipends for every day survival or ordinary citizens. They had under Saddam an old form of socialism. The People get stipends from the government whether they work for the government or not.
I have come to the conclusion that Foreign Policy is big time Bribery. Millions upon Millions to Pakistan to keep them loyal.
Go down the list and you see some mighty big payouts.
