Once we knew there were no WMD's why did we stay and spend trillions?

Question

The congress just keeps going along and funding, deficit funding, year after year. What role did the media play in perpetuating this collosal deficit spending year after year. The national debt is ten trillion and the beat goes on. That will lead to taking all the wealth hard working people managed to accumlate. The face job cuts, more taxes and inflation on basics and drops in value of everything they own from home to retirement assets. it takes away everybody's nest egg, that is what deficit spending for hare brained government giveaway programs. it even threatens the social security program most people count on. don;t even mention the health care system. that is looney tunes. arrogant doctors, thieving hospitals and bad, corrupt medicine. gonna get worse soon. never thought it could get this screwed up.

Answer 1

I think it was Colin Powell that warned... "you break it, you buy it"...

and to a degree, it's true...

Answer 2

WMD's were never a primary reason, only a supporting one, for the war. I've always been puzzled why that's the only one people seem to remember.

And the safe, sane world of which you speak has always been a house of cards. We have to have an expanding economy, and that includes dependency on oil. That makes the middle east strategically important.

Answer 3

Because leaving an unstable mess in Iraq would be worse than saving that money.

If we left a mess, we would end up with another Iran or N. Korea.

We had to clean up our mess.

Answer 4

Why?

When Gulliver wanted to leave for home.

After the war was over.

The Liliputians with the Big and Small ends.

Was shaking like leaves.

With both hanging on tight to Gulliver's legs.

Gulliver could'nt shake them off.

Where ever Gulliver goes.

They follow too.

Until Gulliver blindly step on a hornet nest.

When the busy bees were at work.

Then all h**l broke loose.

With everyone at loss and blurred on what went wrong out there.

When someone were trying to create a twin golden triangle

While Mr. Goldfinger trying to break-in into Fort Knox..

Without being aware of it being expose in time.

Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49

What do you think?

Answer 5

Because that's where the oil is!  Why don't people understand that?  As for the rest of your added info, you described the perfect way to complete the destruction of middle-class America.  That is the goal of the super-rich and the loss of jobs to countries with cheap labor, home foreclosures, layoffs, high prices for insurance, food, gas, utilities, and medicine are all part of, as you said, "taking people's nest egg away".  A vote for McCain wil continue the process, unabated!  A vote for Obama might begin to heal this country.  It's a no-brainer!

Answer 6

Oil...

...and to cover daddy's bush's butt.

And really...you don't think the "wmds" were the real reason we went, do you?
