What constitutes a sacrifice or when profiteering super-cedes ones duty for country

::::::::

The American citizen has been constantly reminded that the War Or Terror by the Bu$h cabal, is one of sacrifice. What I care to discuss is what constitutes sacrifice and just blatant outright lying in the name of profiteering on the part of the MIC and M$M to whip up support for this "Crusade" of injustice and to implement and nurture democracy in the ME. That American citizens are forced to sacrifice liberty for security and receive neither in return.

After 9/11, the USA and the world at large was informed by Bu$h & Co., the crime was committed by Islamofascists who are loyal to Osma Bin Laden. What I care to know is who are the company's and governments supposedly involved with AL-CIAda in supporting and supplying these so called Islamofascists? Since fascism is corporate and government interest that have melded into one.

We are told that former Ronald Reagan "Freedom fighter's" Saddam Hussein and Osma Bin Laden, now re-labeled as "Terrorist's", by the republicans were in cahoots with each other to create AL-CIAda into a world wide jihad against western interests. And that sacrifices must be made to bring these men and their group to justice. Many Americans were gullible to become "Kissinger- Stupid Soldiers" to carry the banner of freedom for democracy in Iraq and the greater ME, sacrificing their life and liberty in the process.

After having the accused mastermind cornered in Torra Bora Afghanistan, the Bu$h cabal doesn't focus on attempting to apprehend him, but instead accuse Saddam Hussein of assisting OBL and AL-CIAda to rid the USA from the ME. By claiming he possessed WMD's that Hans Blix was attempting to locate within Iraq but couldn't find one shred of evidence supporting this claim. And that these illusionary WMD's were just a few minutes from being launched at Israel, Europe, and even the USA. Whipping up a frenzy for another Desert Storm II to overthrow this menace to the civilized world.

After a massive military buildup in the winter of 2003, the gates were opened to invade Iraq and decimate its infrastructure with an estimate of costing around 50 billion of which the Iraqi oil revenue would subsidize most of the payment by Paul Wolfiwitz, who was a Bu$h & Co. stooge. This same super-accountant was installed as president of the World Bank, where later it is learned, he positions a girl-friend into a lucrative salaried position, forcing his expulsion as guiding financial wizard of this institution. He now has another 6 digit salary within the Bu$h & Co. administration, and I ask what sacrifices has he made in promoting this War Of Terror campaign?

The USA has now forked over more than a half a trillion $'s, and more than a billion a week to pay for this most grossly-underestimated mis-guided foreign policy blunder, where it has sacrificed its prestige and sympathy for what happened on 9/11, along with the sacrifice of more than 3,000 of its bravest and finest fighting force not including wounded and vets who have committed suicide once discharged, to becoming the most vilified and pariah nation in the world today.

While the MIC company's have not sacrificed their profit margins for the sake of assisting the self-appointed Bu$h & Co. administration in its desire to rid the ME and the world at large of these so called Islamofascists. On the contrary, you are told stories of flak jacket manufactures whose body armor is so poorly made for the sake of graft, that they can't stop bullets from penetrating their intended design. So the CEO can hire celebrities for his daughters birthday party.

Humvee's were sent to Iraq with inadequate armor causing many deaths and maiming's early on in the War Of Terror, that soldiers were rummaging through metal scrap heaps to line them with what little steel they could find. A replacement to the Humvee called the Hardened Engineered Vehicle, and costing more than $632,000 per vehicle is one damn expensive truck! What I want to know is what kind of profit margin does the company sacrifice who manufacture this type of vehicle?

There was an article about a 23 year old who was providing out of date bullets to the military and raking in millions in profit, for his efforts as a patriotic American supporting the War Of Terror agenda. With sacrifices like this being made to ones country, I'm not surprised that more Americans are willing to heed Bu$h & Co's. call to sacrifice ones efforts for this "Noble" cause.

I could continue with the unaccounted for billions in DOD expenditures but my fingers are tiring and my emotions raging as I write this, causing me to sacrifice my health and future sanity for the sake of asking, what has the average American who has not lost a beloved son or daughter to ones country and this farce War Of Terror the USA is embroiled in with no end in sight, and the pre-selected presidential candidates who refuse to end it?

 

Stanimal is ??? I hear cries for freedom elsewhere, while the US becomes less so. I hear support for free markets, then demanding a bailout due to incompetence. I roll my eyes at those that accuse others being oppressed while the US has and (more...)
