1. Really Cenk?

You think the USA goes to war to help people? Really?? What world are you living in? Bombing a county is not going to make it safer for the people living there, not even close.

Oil my friend, it is just that simple. ontrol of oil fields, and how, and to whom, that oil is sold,. as well as the further justification of the absurd US military budget. These are the reasons the USA starts another war,. if there really was concern for 'civilians' perhaps we would see a no-fly zone in Palestine, or Ivory Coast, or Bahrain, or Sudan,. . I thought you where a little smarter than this,. but I see the corporate sell out is well under way,. isn't it. Sad.
