So, in your OPINION, nation building IS part of what our government was actually set up to do?
Nice attempt to try and put words in my mouth.. may work among your retard friends... don't work on me
Just asking a question, because based on what I am seeing, nation building is PRECISELY what we tried and failed to do in Iraq and are trying and failing to do in Afghanistan. Can you agree with those (MY) words?

No.... it is not what we tried.. even if it gives you the premise needed for your agenda.... Maybe you should actually read the declarations and resolutions as to 'what we tried' and why we went in to battle Iraq in the first place.. and if you honestly think that is why we went into Afghanistan, you seriously need to seek professional help with dealing with reality

Do you HONESTLY believe the resolutions, et al? WHY did we go into Iraq? For the oil. How much did we get? NONE. We went into Afghanistan on the premise of capturing OBL.

Absolute leftist sloganeering bullshit
Socialism only begets more Socialism in the end. The other shoe hasn't dropped yet. These Socialists have done nothing but spend so far and haven't even begun to figure out how they're going to pay for it. That shoe is going to drop soon. Look for these Socialists to invent all kinds of new oppressive Taxes. They simply have no choice at this point. How can they possibly pay for their spending madness? The only way is to invent many new oppressive Taxes. Unfortunately this is what Americans have to look forward to. These people have destroyed many future generations. It's just so sad.
I'm not sure that's gonna happen but they certainly couldn't be any worse than these incompetent Socialists.

Absolute leftist sloganeering bullshit
Wasn't it CHENEY who said the oil revenues would more than pay for this "war"? Was Cheney a leftist?

More made up horseshit and shit taken out of context, and blown to mythical status among the ignorant slogan crowd that you very much seem a part of.... try understanding that when being talked about it was not that any revenues of oil to use would pay for anything for us... rather that when Iraq's government and infrastructure is completed that when IRAQ starts really receiving it's potential revenues from THEIR oil that much of their continued rebuilding as a country will come from said revenues
Oh... and try and get the people right who's statements you are trying to bastardize, warp, and take out of context
You have lost what little credibility you had
Donald Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defense at the time of the quote, on Oct. 2, 2003, stated in a Pentagon news conference:
"The bulk of the funds for Iraq's reconstruction will come from Iraqis -- from oil revenues, recovered assets, international trade, direct foreign investment -- as well as some contributions we've already received and hope to receive from the international community."
Oct. 2, 2003 - Donald Rumsfeld
The Congressional Budget Office stated in its Jan. 2004 report "Paying for Iraq's Reconstruction":
"One major policy question is how much of Iraq's reconstruction funding should be provided by the country itself. Budgets drawn up by Iraqi planners envision spending about 72 percent of revenues on the government's day-to-day operating expenses, 23 percent on reconstruction, and about 6 percent on foreign obligations. Overall, the amount that the Iraqi government can contribute to reconstruction will depend on how much revenue it receives from oil exports and how much debt and other foreign obligations it must pay."

Those don't even remotely say what you construed them as saying.

Iraqi oil revenues going toward Iraqi reconstruction!?!? Now that's insidiously evil.

"Bad typers UNTIE"!
Sorry for the typos....but you get the jist. WE, the US taxpayers have paid into Iraq to rebuld things we paid to destroy. The oil revenues were supposed to pay for these things.
Yes the inept Socialists are going to have to invent all kinds of new taxes on the American People. They cannot possibly pay for their spending madness so get ready for those Potato Chip & Soda Taxes. Socialism only begets more Socialism. They've done all the spending but now it's time to figure out ways to pay for it. Americans better brace themselves for all kinds of new oppressive Taxes to be invented. The other shoe hasn't dropped yet but it's about to. These inept Socialists really have sunk many generations to come. How sad.
As a smoker who has been taxed beyond belief, I WELCOME new taxes on sugary soda, fast food and potato chips. You assholes never cared before, so bend over, here it comes!
