Thank you Bush/Cheney, and of course all our friends since in the MIC and Congress. Where do we stand on Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, or any of the 150 plus countries where we have troops?

Ain’t that the truth? I forget – who came before Alexander the Greek?

“Alexander the Great marched into this graveyard about 2,500 years ago. Easy to march in, hard to march out. His words. He and his mother wrote to each other all the time. One day, he got a letter from her Olympias saying: “What the hell? You conquered most of the known world in a day and a half, what are you doing bogged down in Afghanistan?” He grabbed a bag and shoveled it full of dirt and had it sent back to Greece with a message to his mother: “Take this dirt and dump it around the palace, see what happens.”So Alexander’s mother spread the dirt all around the palace. Later that night, a couple of attendants showed up to make sure she was alright. One says: “Go ahead, after you.” And the other says: “No, after you.” And the first one says: “No, I insist.” And the second one says: “Don’t you tell me what to do.” They pull their swords and go at it till they kill each other. Alexander’s mother watched all this and wrote a note to him saying: “Okay, okay, now I get it.” And he wrote back saying: “Even the dirt is hostile.” In Afghanistan, dogs fight dogs, birds fight birds, men kill men."

Thanks, Darth Cheney, and your little puppet, mini-me shrub. So, how IS your Halliburton stock doing nowadays? Still raking in those dividends??

I hear it is up to $7 Trillion so far and who knows how many dead and injured.

Chasing ghosts through the deserts and mountains.

Republicans are doing all they can to kill America.

“Graveyard of Empires”. USA aren’t the first and won’t be the last.

I must re-watch that episode of “Victoria” where Albert is trying to shield her from the bad news from……Afghanistan.

After invading Afghanistan, Netanyahu beat the drums for war in Iraq and Cheney, a five deferment draft-dodger, saw the profit in it. The Israeli Army did not participate, so it’s easy to see Bebe’s side.

Now Netanyahu is beating the drums for war in Iran, and another five deferment draft-dodger might reason, “they wouldn’t indict a sitting President in wartime, would they?”
