Reply #4: You missed the whole point of the wars

The only goal in having those wars was to siphon off mega-billions to the rich and the corporations, one of which Dick Cheney was the former CEO of. There was obviously no military planning that went on, half our soldiers didn't even get a flack vest and none of the vehicles were hardened against land mines let alone IED's. The only plan was to load pallets full of money and fly them around till their whereabouts couldn't be determined. Then use a small portion for bribes and payoffs to drug lords and the rest went POOF! I'd guess that the amount of cash that was outright stolen can never be known. Mission Accomplished!
