Now we are quibbling over the distinction between honest graft and dishonest graft. Either way I'd rather the money go somewhere useful, like staying in my wallet.

After the fall of the Shah of Iran the commander of the Immortals was reported to have been asked what he thought of his situation before he was executed. His reply was simple enough, " I backed the wrong side " This is what war is winners write history losers die.

DCC The Walnut Registered: 11/25/08 Posts: 1303	For those of you that can read... I recommend the first in the Flashman series for a bit of historical background regarding foreign rule and it's consequences in Afghanistan. Educational and entertaining......to say the least. _________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWCKjrvpXuY

Yes it was and the Russians found out but the USA armed the Taliban to defeat the Russians. The difference is giving Stinger missiles to help defeat a Marxist regime and sending troops in to change a nation that has little desire to change their religious moral beliefs. _________________________ Dazed and confused.............the fog is closing in

FishPrince Returning Adult Registered: 07/13/21 Posts: 471	Originally Posted By: Steelheadman Thanks for wasting 1 Trillion dollars on Afganistan Bush! What about the trillion Obama spent? Bush is a war criminal, so is Obama. Fvck the neocons in both parties, amirite? Nope be a partisian hack and blame only one side of the neocon scum. Remember that neocons originally came from the Democratic party in the 1960-1970s and joined the Republican party displacing the Libertarian wing of the Republican party. Neocons advocate the promotion of democracy and interventionism in international affairs strength, and are known for espousing disdain for communism and political radicalism. Bush was a neocon, Clinton was a neocon, Bush Jr. was a neocon, Obama was a neocon.

Streamer No Stars for You! Registered: 11/08/06 Posts: 2302 Loc: T-Town	And now there are dead Americans after we withdrew. It will always be a shithole over there. FHP is right that they are all war-mongering neocons. But now that we are gone stay the [Bleeeeep!] out. It isn’t our job to police the world or nation build. -Steamy _________________________ Space Available! Say something idiotic today!

FishPrince Returning Adult Registered: 07/13/21 Posts: 471	Nice missile attack we did today. What the fvck was the point of blowing up a random child and neighborhood with a rocket? How does this help America in any way? How many hearts and minds did we just win over? Did we hit the suicide bomber and make him pay? No doubt that rocket cost a million dollars taken from hardworking taxpaying Americans. We could just as easily have paid a homeless guy a $5 heroin bag in Kabul to go stab a random child. But that's ok money is infinite right? Let's just print more up! It's always strange to see the war criminals going bombing and droning after these attacks. What part of suicide bomber doesn't make sense with these idiots. The suicide bomber is dead already, all you are doing is creating more terrorists who now want revenge.

FishPrince Returning Adult Registered: 07/13/21 Posts: 471	Originally Posted By: Coming2Soon Steamer is always bending over backwards to agree with FP. Pretty funny considering Fap is full of [Bleeeeep!] at least half of the time. Half the time I am not full of sh!t, the other half of the time I'm being sarcastic and joking but you have to have an ounce of intelligence to tell which is which. Streamer obviously has at least an ounce but most of the droolers on this board don't even have a gram.

Todd Dick Nipples Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 27838 Loc: Seattle, Washington USA	I'll opine that creating more terrorists was part of the goal, rather than an alarming side effect of the "War on Terrah"...you can't have a never ending cash cow for the MI Complex without a never ending "war".

I'd agree but with the caveat that Clinton, Obama and Biden are part of this complex just as much as the guy who pronounces it 'Terrah.'
