But they’re really good a fighting giant monsters

J/P=?

Largely true.

However the Japanese military may have to change it’s stance drastically due to the posture of America and it’s allies as it relates to China’s military (missile shields etc.) and the developments in the worlds biggest prison camp North Korea partially due to the help provided by, for example, the company Rumsfeld worked for between roles in the government..

“Mr Rumsfeld was a non-executive director of ABB, a European engineering giant based in Zurich, when it won a $US200 million contract to provide the design and key components for the reactors. He sat on the board from 1990 to 2001, earning $US190,000 a year. He left to join the Bush Administration.” Sydney Morning Herald.

The problem is not the (mostly honourable and brave) military or the government (which is really the people) but the crooks that get to make decisions for them (from both Mafia parties).

I wish the world was simple and there was just right and wrong but it is not, therefore I am glad that men and women are willing to go to war to stop people like Saddam and I thank them for it. The world is better off without him.

And that’s just one country…

LOL – Good one. As if it would happen.

#4 – jbenson2 – 8 years in Iraq and the US economy did OK.

No, it didn’t.

#7 – Dallas – gee, I felt so good while I was doing coke for 8 years.

LMAO

#15 – theone – Do you realize how LONG 8 years is, not to mention the kids dying?

He don’t care. He has never served.

He also implemented a plan to sue small farmers if there was any trace of Monsanto contamination on their fields (like seeds being carried by the wind or bird crap). Numerous American and Canadian farmers have been sued because the Monsanto “gene” has ended up in their fields through no fault of their own.

In 2005, Monsanto admitted to bribing an Indonesian official to sidestep an environmental assessment by the government of its genetically modified cotton.

In 2007, Monsanto was sued by France for false advertising related to its flagship herbicide Roundup. Monsanto was found guilty for misleading consumers by claiming that Roundup was biodegradable and left soil clean after its usage. In fact, Roundup has been shown to be dangerous to the environment and toxic to aquatic life.

This man may not have worked there the last few years, but his ties with them still exist. Look up how much stock he still has in the company.

“out of Iraq” = 130,000 troops? Call me when we have zero stationed there.

Sonny, you really should try the military and put yourself in a war for 8 years. See how you like it. You’re not going to get to cry for sh*t once you’re in there that’s for sure. Do you realize how LONG 8 years is, not to mention the kids dying?

We were told Iran was the real winner of the war. Then the supposed Iranian puppet ordered the crushing of the Mahdi Army, and its leader went into hiding, offered a truce, and said he would rebuild his army as a social services organization, kind of like the Catholic Church after the Crusades.

Yes, no one is celebrating: Because there IS nothing to celebrate. But I also read the poll that said that 75% of Americans approved of the pullout. Both stories are saying the same thing: People don’t know what’s actually going on. They want the troops home, but where are they now? Still “over there.” Get it, now?

WaPo would love for us to forget the war they helped get started. So would Obama. But we will never forget it, even if the tame corporate media keep trying to scramble the news with rubbish like the Michael Jackson “story,” and this self-fulfilling article that tells us that we don’t care about Iraq any more, that we’re happy with Obama’s war, that we actually like all the hooey we’re getting instead of a real end to the war. Bullsh*t.
