Forum Post: Why not send Iraq and Afgans a bill for military service

It seems to me if the country wanted the US in their country then it is only proper for us to send them a bill for services. That is how to pay for wars...

They should be sending us bills for nearly destroying their country.

The US supported both the regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan during the 80s

Only to go to war with them in the 00s

True, and this has been an unfunded war and Iraq should pay as well as the afgans. Think about it. Bin Laden may have not been the president but afgan harbored him.

there was a military training camp run by bin ladin in Afghanistan in the 90s

US lobed bombs on it

the US also destroyed a medicine factory in Africa

U.S. missiles pound targets in Afghanistan, Sudan

so what are you doing about it? I served from 1988- 2008 in the navy helping keep our sea lanes open. collateral damage is what it is called when people like Joesph Koni or bin laden who are criminals who can not be caught by police or interpol...

that collateral damage leveled two towers filled with janitors and martyrs

The word "semantics" itself denotes a range of ideas, from the popular to the highly technical. It is often used in ordinary language to denote a problem of understanding that comes down to word selection or connotation. This problem of understanding has been the subject of many formal inquiries, over a long period of time, most notably in the field of formal semantics. In linguistics, it is the study of interpretation of signs or symbols as used by agents or communities within particular circumstances and contexts.[3] Within this view, sounds, facial expressions, body language, and proxemics have semantic (meaningful) content, and each has several branches of study. In written language, such things as paragraph structure and punctuation have semantic content; in other forms of language, there is other semantic content.[3]

Jebus Clyst! Yeah, that might work if they asked us to destroy their country! We should pay them for the troubles we've caused, jebus knows there was enough problems there to begin with.

reparations is what needs to be made to the US

they have already paid for our "helping" of ourselves to their land, resources and government with their lives, over 100,000 in Iraq alone.

we still haven't said you're welcome....

America has not been paid

[-] 1 points by blocade (81) 13 years ago

wow, really? so Haliburton didn't get millions in tax dollars to rebuild all the stuff we bombed?? where are you?? -- Americans were never supposed to get paid from this war was for weapons building manufactures and oil company buddies of the BUSHs and Haliburton and friends of Cheney -- why did you think we went there, to free people?? hahahah lol, the way we "free" the Palestinians, or the way we "free" Argentina, or Guatemala, or Cuba or Panama, etc etc....

come back from never never land

American borrowed money and paid for that not iraq...I'm saying iraq should pay... Not rewriting history

[-] 1 points by blocade (81) 13 years ago

ok then, i see your logic - i am going to borrow some $$ from a couple buddies of mine, go destroy your home and kill off a couple of your family members and then send you the bill, thanks, lol -- idiot

Look my friend war is war, in the old testament they destroyed ideologies. which meant every man woman and child died. Pussy's like you who think you are superior but in reality you are half assed... Take japan, all or nothing it took a nuke for them to come around. Don't go to war if you can not commit to what it takes to win. Furthermore, Bush needs to be thrown in prison. But know one wants to follow that one up considering our dumb ass congress approved it...

hahaha - you make no sense... thanks for lightening my day

Put a mother fucker down why don't you because you can not enlighten us with your own ideas... I'll be waiting for your supreme ideas... I could smell the bong water off you last comment.

[-] 1 points by blocade (81) 13 years ago

poor you, get a handle PartyX - we're working on building a true global democracy and bringing about world peace.

It's pretty obvious that something is wrong with our current system, no?

we can build a better one and you are welcome to be a part of it, you need to chill, maybe a bong hit will do you some good, otherwise you might have a stroke or heart attack, try and take care of your mind and body with natural ingredients.

be well

Get a life. Then get the facts idiot. Bush started an illegal war and the military was unwelcome. They call the USA a 100 Saddam Hussein's. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch demanded the arrest and prosecution of former president George W. Bush. It's USA that can't afford to pay for the whole infrastructure and millions of lives taken. Plus the great American / Collation military personal that served your country in injuries and sickness.

[-] 1 points by PartyX (202) 13 years ago

So the military is lying that people in the country did not want us to stay to stablize the country

[-] 0 points by IChowderDown (110) from Dallas, TX 13 years ago

Yup. First it was enforced. Then a puppet regime was installed in. Then The military overstayed there welcome. Pretty simple. Remember in the US, probably billions where used to create stories having to have you believe in your statements. It's not your fault in some respect, as propaganda is very hypnotic. Many places Iraq still has no electricity, running water and, medicine. Can you imagine emergency surgery without any medication your child? Many veterans are speaking out and are very upset. So much ammunition containing depleted uranium(DU) has been fired on the population and yes the military personal (in the USA about 265,000 effected). "The genetic future of the Iraqi people for and the military personal for the most part, is destroyed." What's that worth? Read up, unless in the USA it's censored?

The Seabees can do all of that. along with construction companies in the US and the oil can pay for those resources to rebuild. World War II drafted, but to many pussies afraid to leave the couch and their MSNBC or Fox news... I'm a vet standing up for the 99% do not mistake my feelings for what has happened to this country.
