Watch this movie/documentry about Iraq...

[jkroner659]

Sinatra told us about Iraq for sale...a documentary about the truth about Iraq...watch this and you will be pissed off...but it's the truth...What I got out of this is the American people and the American government are separate entities. One group is about freedom/peace...and the other is about money and just plain...badness. The name of this forum is named after the American people...If it's named after our government(which I don't think it is) I am outta here...I am fed up with Washington and the way our government runs shit...sorry the truth is sometimes hard to take:pat9xu:

Washington is not America. Most politicians do not deserve the title of American.

So to save everyone the time of reading my very long diatribe on that, no this forum is not named after the government. ;)

Here's a thing that I found on PBS for you. About the guys at Fallujuah. Here's the real story on them.

If it wasn't for my busted back, I'd still be at the PD. I had few choices and I had to do it. It was alot of money and I'm good at it...thankfully. Hopefully I'll be able to retire in a few more years and settle down and have some kids where no one can find me.

Hope you won't hold it against me.

Nope why would I hold it against you personally? Shit I would give it a thought myself for that much money. It's just that if you look at my signature, this is just some of the kind of shit Eisenhower was talking about. I guess if I was in the military I would be kinda pissed too since they get paid about 10 times less for the same job and they have to follow guidelines and answer to someone if they do something wrong:poke::p. Hey it's just the way it is, that's how our government wants to run shit that's up to them we have no say whatsoever:bsflag::naaa:

What you need to be really pissed about JK and all others... is where people like the Dick Cheney and the rest of the wealthy 1% of the population that controls over 90% of the wealth are just getting more wealthy with each passing day.
Do some research... Afghanistan wasn't (and isn't) about anything but a natural gas pipleline.
Iraq is about oil profits. Hell, we sold every thing to Iraq that they had that we said was ~bad/evil~... but that was because we disliked Iran even more at that time.
As you have heard me say many times before... Washington and Corporate America are selling out the American citizens.

Washington and Corporate America are selling out the American citizens.

At an alraming rate I might add...

Sinatra-thanks for the link to the PBS special. Interesting, enlightening, and a bit disconcerting as well. It explains the picture of the bridge framework that you have in your photobucket gallery.
Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate the posts and truly wish I could say that this is shocking information, but unfortunately it isn't. When you have the top % of the population that controls most of the money, then greed is the rule of business.

It seems to me that some people long ago decided they had enough of living under the rules of the wealthy and wanted a better life than that. Next thing you know, the United States of America is born and things were going great. Now we are back to being ruled by the golden rule. In that those who have the gold are once again making the rules, most of which are for their benefit while having another set of rules that pertain to us regular people. Such a sad thing to see.

And while I have no wish to make people here any more angry or worried, I can't help but feeling that worse things are yet to come. I can only hope that I am wrong. But if I am right I can only hope that we are prepared, that I am prepared, to defend this great country from it's enemies here in the country who are only worried about the money they make not matter what costs the people of the country have to pay.

God Bless America and God Bless Us All.
