can someone explain to me why these dipshits still say the Iraq war was a good idea???

[LSK]

When at the REPUBLICAN debate Ron Paul got a huge response when he said the Iraq war was a mistake???

Who the fuck are they pandering to when even at the Republican debate they think the Iraq war was a mistake?

:wtf:

1. And they want to keep it going forever. Won't that be kind of expensive?

How many trillions and how many lives do they plan to invest in their idiotic war of choice?

[Fovea]

2. Because they cannot be a part of this huge charlie foxtrot

and Paul was not a part of the federal system that foisted this turkey on us.

So they all stood there with their faces hangin out execpt Paul. McCain was particularly pathetic in that regard. But the whole lack of reality in the debate caused me to fugue.

I love the way they claimed that they were still better than the Dems at restoring the economy. That, despite they were talking about their great budget responsibility despite all evidence.

3. well Romney, Huckabee and Rudy were not in Congress

So technically they were not part of giving us this fucking war either. Although Rudy was a cheerleader.

5. Yes, but Democrats fall in love and Repugs fall in line

Paul is not a typical repug, he is a libertarian in a wide stance costume.

The point is not torpedoing the repug narrative.
They don't want the truth, because it is not the narrative, which they control.

4. K&R--They are pandering to the few, who benefit from war

The media did their job :sarcasm: all the GOP had to do was step back and watch the bickering...
Their debate tonight was the result and was very effective,I know!
We already may have lost. It's sad...

"WAR is a racket.
It always has been
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

In the World War a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.

How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?

Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few – the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.".more... A speech delivered in 1933, by
