It would have been a big, triumphant “fuck you” to re-build them the same. That’s what I always wanted.
The people downvoting chillin789’s comment are terrorists.
But do it +1 floor
[quote]REMIND ME. WHO WON AGAIN?[/quote]
The people who planned all of this.
Yeah….a win/win/win for all the wrong people.
A win for Pro Islamic forces….because it pushed the West into an unwinnable war…which was exactly their plan.
And a win beyond their wildest dreams….because the power vacuum in Iraq allowed them much greater influence in the region then they ever would have achieved under Sadam.
A win for Military contractors and NeoCon activists…obviously…
Especially considering the PNAC and AEI had key members in the Bush administration and openly stated they were waiting for a “Pearl Harbor” moment to make an Iraq invasion an easy sell….”even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack”…
But definitely not a long term win for the West’s long term interests in the region.
A big win for the oil industry….any instability in the Middle East being a boon for price gouging.
And a win for big government….what better way than fear and national security to slide in policies eroding freedom and privacy rights…
If the military contractors are NeoCons, why is Obama still keeping them in business? Nope, they are just businesses with a vested interest in making money. They aren’t NeoCon or Communist or anything. God Bless Capitalism!
Who said anything about Obama…?
I was talking about 911 and those involved and in power then.
Obama wasn’t on the scene…And I certainly haven’t said anything about his views or policies on the war or the military industrial complex.
Nothing I said has anything at all to do with Obama.
Look, I know you have a really big hate-on for the current President there Finkly…and some major obsession with everything I post….whatever.
If you feel the uncontrollable need to troll me Fink, at least try to stay on topic ….
So you’re saying that 6 years ago when Obama took over, he cancelled all those Military contracts? Oh wait, he didn’t. I guess you can’t say the Military contractors are NeoCons, can you. I guess at this point they’re Dumbocrats.
You: 0
Me: 2
Once again….I didn’t actually say anything about Obama…
Other than to point out….that I didn’t say anything about Obama….
Weird….huh….?
The fact is the Military can’t be considered NeoCons if they are now suckling at Obama’s teat and have been for the past 6 years.
Well it has been a great time for military contractors .. So good you would think they planned it..Best of all for the military contractors is the fact that a War On Terror can never end as their will always be new enemies. I wish i was getting all that tax payers money myself
While every business wants to make money, I think ideology on all sides is the true culprit.
Well look at you sounding like a rational human-being.
