    They definitely did beat them. The petro dollar still exists. They lied about the reasons for the invasion but made a ton of money off why it was really started. Who knows if they didnt the USD mightve collapsed by now. Oil became the new Gold Standard highwhey. Don't you know?

    War is never for righteous reasons. It’s always about profit.

    Ask Dick Cheney about it.

    yes, well, i'd like us as americans to speak up about it and how we disapprove. we send in our troops to get killed for a pointless conflict. we can use that money to help our citizens.

    The only worthwhile thing this country has to offer is opportunity. Now, that doesn't mean that this opportunity will lead to success. It leads to failure probably 9 times out of 10, but at least you were afforded the opportunity where you may not have been in others.
