Lucsha asked:

The “Self-Defense” justification for war fell through when they couldn’t find any stockpiles of WMD’s. Now our presence is measured as an investment — are the results of our occupation worth the cost in American lives?
so true we went in to get the weapons and get rid of sadam to investing in a country hole infrastructor to lean our way….just as kuwait did we hoped
It’s hard to get away from that word when the corporate welfare from no bid contracts to the military industrial complex is taken into account.

It was an investment from the beginning. They pulled the wool over everyones eyes because they were caught up in 9/11!
In order to defend you must be attacked. Iraq never attacked us!!!!
because the good ol boys are the ones making money from this war
it was always an investment
the bush administration first had to find a way to explain it to the national public…he is a LIAR
