I feel terribly for all you guys and others who spent one minute in that place. All the wasted time, all the trillions of dollars burned, all the precious blood spilled, all the families devastated, all the survivors maimed. And all for a pack of lies and a bull shite political ideology.

It wasn't for nothing. It made several people really rich.

It’s like the MIC’s own personal sandbox.

Probably less than five years until we're bombing Afghanistan too after spending 20 years and trillions there stabilizing only for everyone to shrug and go home three weeks after we left.

Mickey G thinks this is “progress” since the President has a (D) behind his name.

Glenn Greenwald predicted this:

Syria and Iraq are munitions dumping grounds to show a response was made. Also once many millions of $ worth of munitions are dispensed the military complex gets paid to replace.
Scheme and scam all the way around

Because we're not bombing the real problem, the Mullahs in Tehran.

Like when Clinton bombed an aspirin factory in Kenya, or Obama and his ever moving red lines.

The MIC would go out of business if they couldn’t blow chitt up.

And they don’t want that. It pays back to themselves and also your congressman and senator. DC is deep and dark.

It’s both sides. Democrats found out a side to be on to where a good portion of the public feels sorry for. The democratic politicians just stand behind their uninformed supporters and let them take the hits. One side wants to work, the other side wants to live off the tit of the government. Perfect storm

Moreover, the architects (neocons) of this disaster are being driven out of the Republican Party and are joining the side you probably voted for and will probably vote for again.

So these are your people now. So choose your words carefully how you describe it.

Yep. It's called the culture of perpetual war. A scheme invented by the Military-Industrial Complex and insanely rich industrialist (hint-they have huge underground bunkers, you and me don't) to line the pockets of rich globalist.

Which brings me to propheci that eventually some Islamic Mullah (or North Korean tyrant) will build himself a nuke, stick it on an ICBM (no doubt developed with financial aid provided by crooks like Joe Biden) and point it at America. Then in a major strategic blunder by the west Achmed will launch that nuke towards a major American city and "pooof" we're all reduced to faint shadows (Nagasaki style) on brick walls.

You cringe? Remember, advances in weaponry have 'always' found its way on the battlefield. IMO it's not a matter of if, but when. All that is needed is what we have right now, the deadly combination of, 1) a religious zealot or mentally disturbed tyrant, or both and, 2) a dumbass delusional dementia President who keeps recycling a lie about a son who died in a war in Iraq. Not good.

Sigh. Try as we can, we cannot prevent the moral relativist indoctrinated electorate from electing a warmongering corrupt democrat politician to the Presidency. They refuse to identify and stop unchecked evil and its consequences.

And there are people who still think bombing dirt in Yemen and Syria is the thing to do

The architects of this war and our psychotic foreign policy are now Democrats. They voted for Hillary in 2016 and Biden in 2020. Enjoy your allies. Nothing says "being a prog" like being in bed with folks who want to carpet bomb brown people in the Arabian peninsula and Asia Minor.

Uh try 30+ years. Gulf War one, then bombing during operations Northern Watch and Southern Watch. Then Gulf War 2. Poor Iraq has been our punching bag for decades.
