Wow, Epically fucking retarded.
BAGHDAD -- A U.S. congressman visiting Baghdad Friday suggested that Iraq pay back the United States for the money it has spent in the eight years since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher spoke during a one-day visit by a group of six U.S. congressman. The California Republican said he raised the suggestion during a meeting with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that some day when Iraq is a "prosperous" nation it pay back the U.S. for everything that it has done here.
"We would hope that some consideration be given to repaying the United States some of the megadollars we have spent here in the last eight years," Rohrabacher told reporters at the U.S. Embassy after the meeting.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

you mean that it's wrong to get paid back for expenditures when we arent keeping the spoils of war
what about afghanistan since they're sitting on $5trillion in lithium deposits we could use for alternative energy, what about Libya where we're helping them to kick a dictators ass and they're oil rich
we should keep throwing cash at foreign countries and never see a dime returned?

So what is so epically fucking retarded here? The suggestion that Iraq pay the US back for helping them get rid of a murderous totalitarian, or your epically fucking retarded inability to explain what is so epically fucking retarded to you about this suggestion? I don't expect a real answer from you, so don't even bother responding with yet another one of your epically fucking retarded posts.

No, Pris, we're not helping even a single person in the Middle East, all we're doing is dropping bombs in random innocent neighborhoods for the mere purpose of killing innocent civilians and stealing their oil reserves. I mean, it's not like we're sacrificing the lives of our own soldiers in an effort to suppress the violent assholes who are killing innocent civilians, or helping them form more fair democratic governments to replace their oppressive theocracies. We haven't even gotten rid of a single one of their murderous fascist leaders, c'mon man!

i didnt really grasp the subject matter on my last reply. I can assure that after being a quote un-quote soldier- g.i. that I have insight on both sides. I am not proud at all that I was but I hope you're not referring to me as an idiot.

Almost all the money spent, was money drawn from the US taxpayer and paid to american corporations. If they drop a bomb its US guidance software delivering 1,000 lbs of US-made trinitrotoluene in a US made steel casing. The money doesnt blast out of existence, the goods did, the corporations still have the cash.
War = US govt taxing the US taxpayer harder to pay US corporations more money, corporations that sponsor the US political parties and their representatives.

Yeah, their Loss Prevention department will chop your balls off on the spot if you get caught stealing a burka.

So what's your point..is it that since US taxpayers contribute to the gross revenues of greedy corporations as a result of going to war, this means that they don't deserve to be reimbursed somehow? 
Much of US taxpayer money went directly to protecting innocent civilians and stabilizing their governments, and many of our military men and women died in that effort. You think it's ridiculous to ask for at least some form of reimbursement? I don't.
