can somebody put me on game?

reasons why it started, was it a successful venture, after effects, economic implications (what i care the most about)

the war started when i was 14...

i've never been a big "political" guy but i just was wondering about it.

tried googling some stuff but didnt get substantial answers

:nerd:
 
In terms of how much the war "cost", I think it was just over $2 trillion.
 
Endless cycle of America getting into a war for the wrong reasons at the wrong time and in the wrong way.

All you need to know about how bad the American people were screwed is by the war is how quiet George Bush has been since leaving office, and how Republicans now adays seem to forget who he is.

Well there is this thing called military industrial complex, similar to prison industrial complex.

Had nothing to do really with iraq's oil supply.

If you get deeper you will see the results in the Middle East as whole, and what has happened there in the past 15 years, including the "springs", it was pretty systematic.
 
since Iraq was one of the largest suppliers of crude, Sadam was looking to sell oil for Euro/gold (not the US dollar), which would have caused devaluation, with the economy already being hurt from 9/11...

for VP Cheney (former head of Haliburton), convinced President Bush to go in and handle the situation...they cooked some stuff about WMDs and you know the rest...
or not iono...just what ive been able to gather

This is indisputable as far as I'm concerned. That's what people mean when they say Iraq was about oil.

That and the fact that the MIC, all told, accounts for $1 trillion, give or take.

Yeah, that's a good part of it, but that's the newer stuff, go further back and it's a winding road.

Ding ding ding..Any oil producing country looking to rid the use of the "American dollar" is labeled by the corporate media (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) as "terrorist" or the U.S.A needs to invade to "protect the people from some rogue dictator using weapons on his own people".. Syria is up next with the same storyline, never changes :lol:
