Iraq 10 years later: The out"f'in"rageous embezzlement

Its good to be King?

This movie is basically an allegory of what is actually happening in Iraq, what the war is all about. Military men rolling in with weapons of mass destruction, to steal the gold. To rob wealth from a psychotic depot with no regard for anyone but themselves. But get this, with the fluffy narrative of "we are saving the people", in attempt to maintain some assemblance of morality.


The largest antiwar protests in human history preceded this war. A war that was not engaged in defense, future security, WMDs, Al-Qaeda, to save the Kurds, to kill Saddam,.. none of that illogical bullshit. It was about the health of the state to prop up its plastic legitimately with the spirit of the citizens, rev the government engine with the MIC, bolster the oil giants with an easy f**k target in a place were the black gold practically bubbles to the surface. While the entire massacre of a society feeds into the evils of the global banks and the wickedness of media sells the souls of men for ad time to pay for their $10 million dollar studios and $3000 dollar suites the so called antiwar movement shows its true moral fortitude by walking away when the man in the red tie moves out of DC.

The place is still on fire, the children are going to suffer of DU for"f**k"ever, the oil will be sucked dry and the Iraqi are going to be left in the middle of the desert to starve, with no money, no resources, in a cursed wasteland. For example the coked out Blackwater maniacs would roll around sending taxpayer funded bullets into women and children while playing heavy metal. Those people stung up those bastards on that bridge in retribution. What did we do, we rained f**k death on an entire city, scorched f**k earth skull f**k. Oh but get this, we are the good guys with the compassion to order everyone to leave their homes businesses or die, so we can go in there and burn it the f**k down with a clear conscious.

Rivers of f**k tears mate! For what?


Its an out"f**k"rageous embezzlement of not only the Iraqi, but all of us too.

Title edit. For the children. -u

It's not an allegory of whats happening in Iraq, it's a generic formula based on the most obvious and simplistic workings of global politics.

This isn't news, it's happened in many different forms over many thousands of years, it's not out of the ordinary, and it's not a consolidated enough issue to identify and change.

Things that should be asked, but aren't:

a) Why is Dick Cheney not in prison for life?
b) Where did all that money go?
c) Really? There's a statute of limitations on conning us into a war that cost thousands of lives and plunged our economy into debt (when coupled with a tax cut)?
d) Speaking of which, remember how we were told that the war would pay for itself? What were the consequences for those who told us that?
e) The same people--like Cheney--who were dead wrong about that disaster are the same ones with a hard-on for going after Iran. Still.

I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing where we suffer the worst attack on American soil in our history, and the then-president (Cheney) abandons going after the man/group responsible for it to invade a country that had nothing to do with it, in the process doing that so incompetently that he gets MORE Americans killed than were on 9/11.

And yet people will go to hear this man give speeches.

Before anybody gets all pumped up about Obama now being in office, he certainly hasn't veered from Cheney's disastrous "stay the course" idiocy in Afghanistan, although not one person can tell us what the point of us being there is (unless it's the awful "Real Estate Argument").

The other great irony of all this? This only STRENGTHENED Iran--you have to marvel at the total, blinding and complete incompetence that resulted in attacking a country, occupying it, losing 4,000+ Americans in eight years of misery, and at the same time removing the one balancing power in the region to Iran's aggression.

Mind-boggling.

the thing that depresses me is that this was probably the worst mistake the US has made in its modern history and no one...NO ONE...will ever be held accountable for it.

Pardon me for not giving credence to a proven propaganda rag reporting on claims of a private military firm populated by maniacs.

Even if this story were 110% true, retribution was the effect from the cause of the brutishness of the American tyranny. In the end, as you stated, the actions that followed proved their point. Hyperbole or not, war is hell, even coming from a solid foundation of morality of defense.
