If this is true, why are we still there???Apparently, voting to give the democrats control in the last election, with their promised withdrawal, meant absolutely nothing.
Congress has stopped listening to the American people completely.
And to whom do they listen?
To the wealthy contributors who make up their base; the oil companies, defense industry people, the hired mercenary companies poised literally to make a killing off of this war.
Our kids are fighting, getting maimed and dying in Iraq so that the profits of these companies will continue.
Is the funding for these wars without end killing our economy?
Yes.
But congress doesn't care; many of them are, in fact, very heavily invested in the companies which are profiting from these wars, and are doing quite handsomely economically.
