C’mon, Freddie. With the increased production of opium poppies in Afghanistan since the war began, I am sure members of the bush crime syndicate feel Afghanistan is just as important as Iraq. Look at all that non-taxable profits to be made off of all that heroin they are producing. And, it’s a win-win- they get to line their pockets with the profits from the heroin while at the same time push their heroin to their constituents to lull them into a sense of everything’s just dandy. Historically, when the economy’s in the toilet people turn to drugs and alcohol. Let the good times roll.

Oh really? I thought this was about weapons of mass destruction and “mushroom clouds over New York.” I could’ve sworn that was what all the the talk was about leading up to the war. My bad.

To continue burning such a precious substance as fuel is beyond idiotic. Its akin to using diamonds, and other precious gems, for tank treads or fishing weights. A worldwide mandate of 40-50mpg, while increasing production of alternative fuels, for every passenger car on the planet would make much more sense.

Ceasing production of inefficient lighting would be a good idea too. But pumping more oil is just plain stupid. Which is probably why the oil industry isn’t pursuing new drilling projects. And believe me, if they wanted to produce more oil domestically? That’s what they would be doing. However they would rather collect on the obscene profit on shipping “sweet” oil form existing wells than developing new sources.

Q U E S T I O N:
Who wins in an occupation…?

EXACTLY. Iraq is not ours to “win” or “lose”.
It does not belong to us, it belongs to the people who live there.
That’s a discussion that the corporate media/propaganda machine doesn’t want to acknowledge.

If the Iraqis ultimately decide to sell oil to China, Europe, India or no one, we won’t have much say. After all, it’s not our oil and there’s not a no-bid contract that can change that. And any future Iraqi government would be entirely within it’s rights to simply nationalize it’s oil production which would leave us and the multinationals out in the cold again.

Face it. The U.S. has no legal or moral right to the natural resources of any nation. The sooner the radical right learns that simple fact? The sooner humanity can stop its mad plunge into a new Dark Age.

“Wining in Iraq, which we’re on the verge of…”

Q U E S T I O N:
Who wins in an occupation…?

Even Juan Williams let this gaff slide.

Why won’t chickensh!ts like Juan directly confront Fascist sympathizers with truthful questions?
… Oh, I forgot. FOXPRAVDA is all about looking tough on the exterior to compensate for their chicken!sit stance of FEAR, WAR, and OPPRESSION.

Has anyone noticed on these political talk shows, the moderator, who is obviously slanted anti-progressive, is always surrounded by conservatives and radicals on the right while the left is represented by a puny man who’s been castrated…? How the hell is that even representative of being “FAIR” or “BALANCED”?

.

I’m certain the relatives of the victims of 9/11 would beg to differ with you – asswipe!

And I just can’t wait for all the moral rectitude this comment will produce.

And he is probably just another, one of too many too chicken to fight himself OR allow his children go to Iraq to fight,

BUT HAS NO PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER SEEING OTHER PEOPLE’S CHILDREN FIGHT AND DIE FOR THIS INSANE EVENT THEY CALL WAR.

Not to mention, Saddam Hussein on climbing out of hiding was quoted as saying, “There are no WMDs.” I wonder if he figured it out before he was executed.

and not to mention that I seem to remember a nuclear arms race in the India / Pakistan area.
