Does anyone remember..

Does anyone remember that White House economist Lawrence Lindsey was fired by Dubya because Lindsey estimated that the Iraq war could cost as much as $200 billion?

Lindsey was fired for over-estimating the cost of a war that, according to Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes, has cost 15 times more than Lindsey estimated. And the US still has 50,000 troops in Iraq.




Does anyone remember that just prior to the US invasion of Iraq, the US government declared victory over the Taliban in Afghanistan?



Does anyone remember that the reason Dubya gave for invading Iraq was Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, weapons that the US government knew did not exist?

Afghanistan is where the real men are at. Those hairy arabs are good for nothing but yelling and whaling like women.

You mean the real men who hide in caves and have sex with little boys?

It is called "Overseas Contingency Operation". There is no timeline when it comes to overseas operations

Afghanistan is maybe the only muslim country that wasn't colonized. It took Alexander the great a few months to conquer Persia (Current Iran) but it took him years to overcome Afghanistan and use to say 'May God protect us from the grip of the lions, the Poison of the snakes and the revenge of the Afghaans´. Great country indeed
