1. War is the most efficient way to rob the public trough.
2. Is there a better way to divert attention from the loss of
7 million jobs in two years?
3. So neither the Taliban nor any Afghans were involved in 9/11.
Your point is?
4. Without a war frenzy, Halliburton can’t get contracts
without paying expensive kickbacks to Congress.
5. Every new war is a dress rehearsal for the next war.
6. If the Pentagon keeps trying, it might find a people that
doesn’t hate and resist the occupying army that kills its civilians and
destroys its villages.
7. But it’s looking like Afghanistan isn’t that
country.
8. And maybe Pakistan isn’t either.
9. Afghanistan has never succumbed to foreign domination throughout
its thousands of years of history, but there’s always a first time.
10. Maybe we should skip all that war profiteering and create good-paying
jobs here instead. ... Nope!
