All of the troops lost in Iraq and Afghanistan were wasted lives.
 As were all of the innocent civilians and the enormous cost of the wars. As the US public looks to "draw down" forces overseas, I can only come to the conclusion that nothing good was done, only bad. Yeah, we killed OBL, but the wars have only increased the recruiting for the Taliban, Al Queda, and more. There are many ready to take OBL's place. Who were these wars good for? The already filthy rich defense contractors and big oil. The whole thing is sickening, and I remember thinking this would happen when I saw the Trade Towers go down. All of our troops who die or are wounded before we get out and change policies are wasted lives.

Uh-oh. You just revealed that you don't think 9/11 was MIHOP or LIHOP. Wonder if the moderators on the Island of Misfit **** Ups will let that slide, or not. I mean, you ARE over 1k posts. However, you have clearly crossed a line.

On the subject of OBL: No you didn't. It was all under that "evil" President Bush's plan, and implementation, you angry little jack wagon.

Hey idiot... they started it, we gonna finish it... if the Obumbler will let us.

I recall  a political cartoon back in the mid 80's when a bunch of Japanese were protesting, might have been Hawaii on Dec 7th about the nukes we dropped on them during WW2. The cartoon had a jap with a sign saying "No more Hiroshimas". The American standing next to him had a sign that said "Easy. No more Pearl Harbors"

Suck it dummy. They started it.

The DUmmies want to talk about wasted lives?
They need to look in the mirror then. They waste their entire lives sitting there waiting for some govt official to carry them through life.
Meanwhile brave men and women sign up, go to war, and die to protect their rights to munch on cheetos, smoke pot, and bash the USA.

H5..I was thinking that place is littered with wasted lives and they are still breathing.

When I read the title, I thought this would be a biography about DUmmies.  Perhaps one of them looked into a mirror and had a moment of self-revelation.

But I realized this could never happen, DUmmies aren't that smart.
