And when you realize the enormity of building an Iraqi Army, you'll realize that it cannot be done without first bankrupting our nation. The corruption and fraud going on in Iraq is immense. They will make the picture that all is well...but listen to the voices on the street, because they have no reason to lie.

What has $200 billion bought? One Iraqi unit "ready" to defend the motherland?

What did we get in Vietnam?

Even Lincoln worried more about the great wealth created and concentrated as a result of the Civil War. He feared it more than the war itself. With that wealth came corruption and greed and power. We see the same thing in Iraq. If you could follow the money, and the trail often gets smeared out behind them, but you'll still see who the victor is...by their spoils.
