can the liberals make up their mind on whether the United States is profiting from the war or that its costing

Question

us billions? I know they hate America and reject all the real reasons, but they shouldnt take two positions that are completely the opposite of one another.

thats called babbling nonsense

anytime u have a war, some company has to produce the bullets or whatever is needed..do any of you great intellectual liberals have another way of doing it

its nonsense--because the only thing that a liberal would agree to is a war where none of these companies could produce anything--therefore no war at all ever for any reason

and yes caveman--your propanda is wrong--you prove it

what is bush and co? he does have another job lil one

Answer 1

you must learn to speak leftist, the war is costing us billions every day, and we're raking in record profits at the same time. lib speak

Answer 2

I think the argument is that the United States is spending billions of its own dollars (IE: taxpayer money) on funding the war in Iraq while companies who won their contracts through political connections are profiting from the war via the rebuilding effort.

As a self-described liberal, I'm much more worried about the cost of funding the war because this is doing much greater damage to our country by not permitting us to spend the money in other areas.

As Dwight D. Eisenhower (a Republican president) put it:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

I guess that makes Ike a liberal by today's standards.

Answer 3

Aren't you quite the cherrypicking wordsmith. Appropiately defined as babbling nonsense--if you must say so yourself. I think there's a little bit of distinguishing that needs to done with the U.S. profiting lingo you seek to factualize. Ever heard the expression--peeing up a rope?

Answer 4

One day you will see the truth, poor lost soul.. but both is the correct answer.. some corporations and people are making a lot of money off of the war.. but as a whole the American people are being raped by the cost of the war.. it's not our fault if you lack the ability to comprehend this.
