Iraq War: Reader's Digest version.

[SoCalDem]

3000+ soldiers , and unknown numbers of Iraqis killed.......millions of people displaced (stripped off all but what they could carry)..

Immeasurable environmental damage to the country of Iraq

Incalculable ( and possible irreparable) damage to the reputation of the united states.

Why?

a diversionary tactic to appease the "oil lords" , to claim the iraqi oil fields for the "friendlies" among the oil community

AND

a clever way to loot the US treasury...anyone who dared to or dares to question expenses run-rampant, is labeled a "soldier-hater" or disloyal .


The military and the public are little more than pawns in this real-life game of RISK. The Bush'ites get the plunder, and everyone else gets killed, discredited, demoted, fired, retired, or ignored.

The "perfect" crime...Global-style.
