THE $6 TRILLION NEO-CON SUCCESS STORY

Below is a story about what happened over the weekend in Iraq. Did you see it on your local news station? Did you see it on Fox News? Did you see it anywhere? Of course not. The vested interests want you to believe that Iraq was a success. They are now a fully functioning democracy. It’s the storyline that the MSM and the government want told to the masses. What would be the reaction if bombs went off in major U.S. cities over the weekend and killed or injured 60 Americans. Hysteria and panic would spread across the country. It would provoke a response not seen since 9/11. It happens in Iraq and we yawn. They are just a bunch of savage Muslims.

Where are the celebrations this week honoring Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz? It’s the 10 year anniversary of saving the world from the despot Hussein and bringing democracy and peace to the Middle East. And it will only cost us $6 trillion when all is said and done. Larry Lindsey was fired for publicly speculating that the war might cost $200 billion. Look for Fox News to trot out the usual neo-con suspects to declare Iraq a success. It all went according to plan.

Bush and his band of world changing neo-cons put the country on a path to bankruptcy and Obama has kept us on course. Don’t get too drunk at those 10 Year Anniversary parties this week.

Obama basically set the mid-east on fire. Look at it, all but two or three countries are in serious upheaval. North Africa is in complete disarray, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen... oh wait, All Islamic countries! Even Malaysia and Indonesia.
Again, the common thread of Islam.

Saddam Hussein is gone. Good riddance. His regime could have been removed at much less expense to the American people.
But alas, we have our own Hussein of equal importance trying to bring down America to worry about.

738, what? I doubt the folks took to the streets across Africa at the command of Obama. Maybe we should have just used a bit of US force to crush these protests though huh. Could have swore we were well bogged down in Iraq and Afghan. and dealing with crap from Pakistan well before Obama showed up in the WH. Terrorists groups were setting up camp in Malaysia and Indonesia before hand. Lebanon has been a mess for decades. And if we would have listened to the GOP, we would probably have US forces on the ground in mass in Syria. Your "set the mid-east on fire" comment makes zero sense. And only time will tell if the decisions Obama has made in this arena were right or wrong.
