Tommy Callahan Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Hmm. More like state sponsored mass murder for TV ratings. Crazy how 99% of the politicians and for profit media sold that crap as kosher. And 20 years later not one emergency action from post 9/11, has been ended, by either party. But at least back then the lefts base talked about being antiwar, antiestablishment, anti-surveillance state, anti corporations buying politicians, anti PAC. Like Taibbi and Greenwood. the ones the left now calls turncoats for being the same. The new Iraq is, Ukraine.

The Democrats had far more people against the war And those people were clobbered with "Remember 9-11!!!" And Ukraine is nothing like the failed WMD war 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ukraine is nothing like the failed WMD war And would add that was the second time, the gulf war was a decade prior. the rest held hands and sang about America while signing off on everything from DHS, to spying on Americans and giving the white house more authority to WAR. And in full circle, the war mongers back then called any opposing views, Alquada or terrorist sympathizers. Ukraine is to the MIC as Iraq was to the MIC.

Tiberius Posted March 20, 2023 Author Share Posted March 20, 2023 United States House of Representatives 6 (<2.7%) of 223 Republican Representatives voted against the resolution: Reps. Duncan (R-TN), Hostettler (R-IN), Houghton (R-NY), Leach (R-IA), Morella (R-MD), Paul (R-TX). 126 (~60.3%) of 209 Democratic Representatives voted against the resolution. Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution ... And only a clown would compare Ukraine to Iraq, a desperate clown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenhigh Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Which was the one where the smaller country was invaded by the much more powerful country on false pretenses? Which one did Biden try to keep us out of? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Same crap as Ukraine, except now we just drop money from the sky to fund them slaughtering their own without overtly slaughtering our own kids too. Democrats are so corrupted by military industrial complex now too. Edited March 20, 2023 by Over 29 years of fanhood 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 It's hard to name a US war, post WWII that wasn't a failure in policymaking. In the Iraq War, we seemed to go out of our way to make the worst decisions out of the possible choices. The real reasons for this war always interested me. It wasn't about freedom or WMDs. Why would the US invade a reliable pressure door against the Iranians and a dictator who had no use for groups like al-Qaeda? Did the same thing in Libya. (Answer: The Saudis.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bretton Woods, the dollar as the reserve currency and profits for the Military industrial complex and the Investors of those companies. Libya was us and FRANCE. but was supported by IRAN and Russia. But still wondering where all that physical gold went, as Ghaddafi at the time had one of the largest physical reserves in the world. Now according to the IMF, they have 0 But from WW2, through the moronic wars of the 90's to now. nothing had much to do with The Saudis. Vietnam? Korea?
