Who really won the Iraq war?

I read an interesting article about who really won the Iraq war. The article claims that the real winner is large american corporations, especially those with ties to the government. I agree with the entire article! The only winners are corporate America.

 

Bush did. He won $10 bucks from Cheney because he successfully invaded Iraq.

 

Very true. It certainly isn't the American people.

 

With exception of American and Iraqi people, every one else is a winner; including but not limited to American corporation, Iran, Syria, terrorist organizations.

 

Yup, welcome to a world I really thought we (Britain) had left behind long ago. The British Empire expanded through conquest and exploitation and was driven by the desire of the capitalist class to make ever larger amounts of money.

Karl Marx said a bayonet was a weapon 'with a worker at both ends'. That sentiment is as true today (with the sons of poor American and British families killing and being killed by the sons of poor Iraqi families) as it was in the 19th and 20th centuries.

But of course you can always dress up these wars by saying they're for 'freedom' or 'democracy'. That way you can (via the media) keep most of the gullible idiots onside.

 

I think Halliburton just unraveled a banner that says "Mission Accomplished" outside their headquarters.

 

BOO AMERICA!!!! what a lovely way to start my day....

 

Really well and thought out argument. Coming from a chickenhawk, however, "BOO" may be all you are able to muster.

 

Really well and thought out argument. Coming from a Jew hater, however, "chickenhawk" may be all you are able to muster.

 

LMFAO!!! What makes it even more funny is that probably most of the people who have said something in this thread don't even live in the USA!

 

And some on this thread are too scared to defend it so they come up with excuses on why they couldn't. Then rant and rave about the virtues of war and back those that send others to fight a war built for corporate greed. Chickenhawk.......

 

I am sorry did I attack your boyfriend??? So much so you have to pull out the old "jew hater" argument because you have nothing else and some people are still stupid enough to buy it? Funny thing is what does a "jew hater" even have to do with this thread? Are you a "jew hater" if you don't agree with the Iraq war and who profits from it? Why does that make you a "jew hater"? How do you draw the relevance to both?

 

It is a total failer.
Our government has lost the battle and now we are giving lives for oil?
This is really not fair.

 

Ofcourse it's fair this is the American way!

Exchange Oil 1:1 with American Soldiers.
