Anyone with a pea for a brain knew what was going to happen, but W needed to get even for his Daddy since Saddam put a hit out on him. I'm sure Cheney got plenty rich too since damn near every contractor over there is tied to Haliburton. Johnny, we definitely got to participate in it, but I'm still trying to figure out exactly what America has gotten for the 8 trillion wasted over in all those countries, and still spending. Those people don't want things to be fixed. They have no value on human life, and are plenty happy killing each other right up until the point they have a common enemy. IE:us...

What did we get? Biden's brother got a $150M contract to build houses in Iraq. I'd heard of that back in '10 but it was just barracks lawyers so I didn't have any proof. It turns out that shit was true. Go figure, the barracks lawyers were actually right for once. More, plenty of others got fat paychecks. Shit, the US even sent plane loads of cash....

More about houses in Iraq. To build $150M of houses in Iraq would be amazing. My guesstimate would be replacing all of Baghdad.
