Dying to win the lost War
This escapade in Iraq is shameless. Putting aside all the lies that place us there now, it could have had a decent outcome. The grandest mistake of all was the no bid Halliburton war profiteering contract. As if the Arab world has no idea who Halliburton is. This was a move so imbecilic and transparent, that it should go as one of the colossal mistakes of history, perhaps rivaling Hitlers advance into Russia.

It demonstrated to the planet exactly what this administration is all about. It would have been slightly better to have given the contract to the Bin Laden Company of Saudi Arabia. At least the Bin Ladens would have hired Arabs to help in the rebuilding.

Gee, I wonder if Halliburton, Brown & Root, et al, have their logos on their heavy equipment? Maybe an eagle for a logo!

The whole "crusade", from the start to what we are witness to now, is one gigantic steaming turd.
