The 150 Million dollar failure!!!!!!

sure

Syria's stockpiles contain hundreds of tonnes of various chemical agents, according to Leonard Spector of the Monterey Institute of International Studies.
"Their arsenal of chemical agents is rather robust, " said Olivier Lepick of the Paris-based Foundation for Strategic Research.
In addition to blister agents known as vesicants such as mustard gas (yperite), Damascus is believed to possess sarin and possibly VX, another nerve agent 10 times more powerful than sarin

given the CIA is on record saying Iraq was believed to have no mustard after the Iran war, and no sarin was ever found in Iraq I suppose all the tonnage in Syria came from Iraq in 1989 ..

gotta be it eh? Originally Posted by CJ7

And the fact that we did not find any in 2003 leaves Iraq a 13 year window during which Saddam jerked around the UN inspectors and had ample opportunity to sell his weapons (including possibly binary sarin) to Syria or anyone else.

yet another point I made shortly after we cut loose on Saddam ..

and I was deemed a commie traitor


so we spend $12 billion a month for over a decade to promote democracy while we are bombing the living shit out of Baghad


kinda like saving babies so we can cut their social programs and torture them..

IM done ... Ive got the effects left in a litter box and 2 puppy pads to deal with right before I feed the other end Originally Posted by CJ7

CJ7 you were right on, but where did you get $12 billion a month? Because 12 billion is being very generous. I have read reputable sources that stated during the height of the Iraq war- the simple logistics cost us anywhere between 750 million to 1 billion TAX PAYING Dollars a DAY- not a month but a DAY so roughly 30 billion dollars just for the simple logistics - what a fucking waste.

And to add salt to the womb- Iraqi's overwhelmingly agree that they were better off during the Saddam era than present day- most of the pre-war services hasn't even been restored in Iraq.

And what are the chances that there's no paper trail and we can't find one reputable source that would show who he sold this sarin too- remember during Saddam's era he didn't have many allies- most of the middle eastern countries feared him and were not allies. So what potential countries did he sell the sarin- you are merely speculating.

You know during the recent white House Correspondence [It's spelled "Correspondents" - they weren't getting together to write letters.] Dinner President Obama made a joke that Sheldon Adelson spent 100 million dollars of his own money to defeat Obama. I actually thought Obama was joking or had ballooned the amount, but doing some research several sources says that both privately and publicly Sheldon Adelson actually spent 150 MILLION dollars. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...n_2223589.html http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/...ng-150-million

Now granted Mr.Adelsen is a billionaire and spent his own money- but I wonder if 150 million dollars could have been spent much better-
I mean 150 million could have been used to buy Whirlway, COG, IFFORD, Lexus Lover, IAINTLIEN, LovingKayla, I B Hankering and rest of that gang a one way ticket out of this country. Originally Posted by wellendowed1911

But you people think that anyone who doesn't bend over for the government is unAmerican. I don't understand that. The only excuse I can think of for you is . . .

I'm waiting for your bitch about Bloomberg willing to spend up to 1 billion dollars to ban guns. 100 million and nothing to show for it so far.

Since they won't even throw us a bone and they will jeer us as we are lead to the gallows, why not fight the bastards tooth and nail to the bitter end?

You refuse to hold Democrats who voted for the war responsible for their action - you only blame the GOP.

And your excuse is that all the "secret" opponents of the war just went along with the war because - what? What exactly was the bad thing that was going to happen to them if they voted against it?

They wouldn't get re-elected? Tough shit. Elective office isn't a job for life. You are supposed to vote for what you think is best for your constituents and the country. Then you let the chips fall where they may.

And you don't worry about what people say if you don't have a lapel pin.
