Why are you surprised? Wasting mind boggling sums of money is what vast governmental bureaucracies do best.





Its a shame you didnt think this way about GWB.


Did you have some kind of physic connection that tells you everything sanity is thinking? Or maybe this is just another of your "I know how all americans think" theories? Or maybe you just couldn't stand the thought of another minute going by without bringing up Georgy boy? Either way, it's really none of your business what the US wastes its money on. But thanks for playing

Same ole same ole from you...snide comments and no content. It isnt your message board so dont tell me what I can and cant write. You seem okay writing about other countries so have you are being somewhat hypocritical. I didnt tell you the NHS was none of your business did I ?

For the record I have never once said "This is how all Americans think"

I don't care what they think in New Orleans. That city is a crap hole and it will never change. I have been to 30 + major cities in the good ol USA. That is the dirtiest city I have ever been to, and that was 2 years before Kritina..

This is America so Katrina is a profit center...nothing more. All things govt. are to produce or protect a profit. Military, space, health care...you name it.

1/2 the population has not even returned...and may never return. America with its capitalist, profit-worshiping culture is designed...to waste billions of dollars.

Overall, IRAQ was better off before US war mongers decided to mess with it. Its one of the worst foreign policy mistakes the US has ever committed.

Youd have to be willfully blind to a lot of the facts regarding pre-invasion Iraq to believe that.

"When the occupation forces came to Iraq, it was good they got rid of Saddam [Hussein], but in fact everything got worse: security, electricity, water and garbage — which is good for me. But when they leave, nothing will be improved or return to the way it was," says Nasar. "No matter if the Americans are here or not, Iraq is a ruined country."

Just who put Saddam in power ? It was the US that supported him when Iran siezed our embassy. Thine enemy's enemy is thine friend, the US just wanted someone a bit friendlier. And if anyone can remember that far back, Iran had a reason - it was the US's support and protection of the deposed Shah, who was a butcher.

The US government created this whole mess in the first place, and used our money. Now they are using our money to clean it up. Typical, and if you remember that far back, you know that this went on through the administions of both parties.

The reason they chose the proper time for the invasion was Saddam's intention to switch to the Euro, which is not crazy, in fact I think that's exactly what he should've done in light of the US economy at the time. The big thing was that he had stashed a huge amount of cash, in USDs. He was pissed because his former benefactors had turned on him. So after switching to the Euro, he could've flooded the market, thus devaluating the USD.

It was going to happen sooner or later, but because of those factors, the time was right.

So now we have all of them pissed. Happy now ?
