“And a year from now, I’ll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush. There is no doubt that, with the exception of a very small number of people close to a vicious regime, the people of Iraq have been liberated and they understand that they’ve been liberated. And it is getting easier every day for Iraqis to express that sense of liberation.”
- Richard Perle
(now with the American Enterprise Institute)

In all probability.... as I said from the beginning.. it will be a total waste. The American politicians know NOTHING about fighting a war.. look at how THEY lost the war in Korea.... how they lost the war in Vietnam.. They will NEVER win the war in Afghanistan as I said from the very beginning.. nor will they win the war in Iraq because the Americans JUST DO NOT have the know how to fighting such a war.

If the oil companies get the rights to the oil fields, then maybe yes and maybe no. Depends on who profits more from the oil, you and the rest of the people in the U. S. or the oil companies....

no, killing innocent people is never cost effective...think of all the people we could have fed with that money! schools we could have built! bridges we could have repaired! taxes we could have cut!
It was all just a big waste of time, money, and lives.
