1. Sure it's going well...

But for who?

Not us, or our troops.

Damn.

[w8liftinglady]

2. this is probably a clue as to why we are still there

War & Disaster Profiteering

CorpWatch looks at the intertwined relationship between private industry, the US Armed Forces and federal policy makers. We look at the domestic and foreign impacts of this dangerous complex.

4. Great link

K&R the OP too...

6. K & R I hope this thread is read..it seems the media is ensuring our hard to stay on track

american mentality regarding what this so called war in the middle east actually entails and how the truth that we were lied into it so easily (thought I never believed it then, not for a moment )forgets innocent human beings continuing to perish so that the profitable war machine remains profitable regardless of that profit being made by the blood of so many innocents be they man, woman or child...

still to this day I erupt in fury if I happen to view people holding signs declaring themselves to care about the value of life in their effort to demonetize freedom of choice...honestly brings me to such rage that it shocks even myself since I can usually control my anger and attempt to argue things with those other than my husband in a much more calming demenour...

Not just the war, but those already here, impoverished, abused, beaten down, forced into the streets homeless and destitute, our government ignoring of another of americans taboo areas mental health patients...why not use their time working for and helping to get aid to those honestly in need, its more than heartbreaking it makes me physically ill and for what? Because their religious leader whomever it might be tells them to do it..puppets, ignorant little self hating puppets I view them as..nothing more, nothing less..

7. i feel the same way

it seems those who do not fall within the norm are ostracized...and you are too kind.Here,those claiming to love Jesus turn their backs on those that Jesus commanded we help ...(and I share this only because they are so quick to brag about being "Christians"

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'

And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"
(Matthew 25.35-40 ESV)

3. and I love the way NONE of this is mentioned in the mainstream news.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Of course it isn't mentioned there.

The corporate masters also own the papers and the TV stations and etc...

They are among the ones profiting.
