Anyone who reads my journal knows I've been very preoccupied with the War in Iraq. I've been determined to figure out what this war was really about. Well, I think I finally have it figured out, and as such, this will be the last time I will post on the topic of Iraq. Unless of course there are any significant developments. So here is my [ ( Read more... )

*clap* well said

this crusade was the best gift we could ever hook Osama and co. up with, now they dont have to point to the past to show the great satan they just need to point to the occupation and future Bush endeavors to get that jihad blood a'flowin!

its gonna definately be a rough time, im thinking there might be the possibility of some/most Middle Eastern governments offering any resources they can, including oil, to china, the soviets, n. korea and anyone else willing to back them up against the US and their coalition party. If they DO we are totally fuxored...

wheres my plane ticket??

Yeah, and a war with China, Russia, and/or North Korea...now that's some scary shit. China alone. Yikes.

but fueling the whole war machine. this includes over-sponsoring the businesses involved in the so-called reconstruction of iraq, businesses that would otherwise be considered peaceful (if there can be such a thing in the tyrannical free market). it's another of this administration's attempts to make the rich richer. (the, ahem, "haves and the have mores.")

of course, we could attribute this to an afterthought: hey, we could use the reconstruction as an excuse to cushion our old business buddies! that is, we could consider it an afterthought.. if our vice president weren't already heavily invested in a certain business rebuilding iraq. i imagine in the planning stages of this war: cheney salivating, eyes gleaming in malevolence as he wet-dreams the mountains of gold he will steal from the american people in the name of freedom. long live imperialism ( ... )

I tend to agree with you somewhat, but I also tend to think that the economic war is more of a byproduct. It is, however, a byproduct that is widely embraced by the neo-cons in their view of how the world should work. Thanks for your thoughts!

I like the section about Israel, and I would like to add one point. In a military industrial complex, peace is not good for business. That is why the US has set-up, funded, trained, supplied and helped carry out Israel's military agenda. The purpose of this is two-fold. It justifies more domestic military spending with private contractors(Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Sandia National Laboratories), and it bolsters and strengths the military objective of the United States, which sadly is world domination through military and economic might. Companies like Boeing and Lockheed have to be psyched, because let's face it, when they're not building as many planes and bombs, it's hard to keep the doors open. Nice to know our tax dollars are hard at work. Bleh. Who else could use a drink?

thanks for commenting. I completely agree with you. And let's not forget the non-military war profiteers - like Halliburton. A lot of businesses and industries in the U.S. stand to benefit greatly from a perpetual militaristic stance.

And yes, I could use a drink or twelve right now.
