“At a minimum, we should send Iraq and Afghanistan a bill for what we have done and are trying to do for them, or ask for price cuts on Iraqi oil. Thousands of American lives have been lost and the financial cost is enormous, as we seek to advance freedom for others.”

Well, wouldn’t that be special. We’ve gone in, uninvited, and destroyed their countries, their infrastructure, their people, and poisoned their environment with our DU munitions, and he wants us to send them the bill. Why? Because he’s upset that our allies aren’t investing enough of their treasury in Bush’s wars.
Is this a great country, or what? According to the bush administration and its allies, it would be ok for me to get some hack lawyer to write an opinion saying it’s legal for me to go ahead and go in to his home, beat him up, trash his house, kick his dog, rape his wife and children, and strew his garbage about the street, and he will happily pay the bill. And, I’ll have that hack opinion, so I won’t have to worry about any legal consequences.
Think that’s extreme? Well, that’s exactly what we have been doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. And he wants to send them the bill? What’s the matter Cal? Afraid you might have to pay more taxes to pay for what we’ve done? You and your friends wanted the wars, Cal, pay for them out of your own pockets. You all sure made enough through your war-mongering, and war-profiteering.
