1. Should've been a Special Ops thing the whole time. No need for full scale war.
But that wouldn't feed our massive war machine.

6. Bing. Go.
That war machine that is on the middle class's back instead of the 1945 millionaire tax rate paying for WWII.

3. I don't get it. Has someone said that we've somehow become good guys?
I'll wager that most people wish we hadn't gone through any of what led up to what happened in Pakistan recently to Osama.

4. Well, it doesn't appear as though either war had any influence on his death.
The search in the mountains may have been justified. But we obviously didn't find him.
