Pi$$ing Away Billions

[Deleted]

Despite the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq at the end of 2011, the United States remains a key security and defense partner, providing more than $14 billion worth of weapons to Baghdad since 2005.

    14 billion dollars would have helped a lot of American wounded vets, huh?

Yes it is too bad, we wasted all that money on lies to go to war, where thousands died for nothing. It will cost us forever, when those same vets, start to exhibit delayed stress. For once we agree. A total waste of American lives and American dollars.

A key CIA informant in Iraq admitted that he lied about his allegations, "then watched in shock as it was used to justify the war".
