some recent polling on the ten year anniversary of the iraq war we mated
with a shocking on march nineteenth of two thousand three was there at war were
fighting in american people think clearly that it was not
so for example the and new huffpost you've got paul says
fifty four percent say not worth fighting
the iraq war
uh... twenty four percent say worth fighting
and twenty two percent are not sure
uh... they said you know ten years and i'll come back during two decision all
right well but the clear majority say by not worth fighting in fact
u_p_s_ that
did in a gallup poll was even clear fifty three to forty two saying clearly
a mistake iraq war was a mistake okay
uh...
where the benefits of the wrecked were not worth the cost of an a_b_c_ news
washington post poll
fifty-eight to thirty-eight clearly not worth the cost
now on the show you why they're not worth the cops
uh... number of u_s_ of soldiers field troops i should say
four thousand four hundred eighty eight service members filled
and by the way
uh... very often this is the like that also thirty and four hundred contractors
were killed
so actual number that are much larger than people normal report
on our site wanted veterans route thirty two thousand two hundred and twenty one
of them
in the rack war
now how about some delays on the rakhi side
that would be one hundred and thirty-four thousand
iraqi soon
billions
killed according to recent report by brown university
was a worthy geog two what what what the hell what do we when we get out of it
markets let's
first of all ido we lost not only did we lose all those good people whether they
were the u_s_ troops
or there with iraqi civilians civilians
but we also stress about a month same braver cir four
as a cost of the work so far
www point to trillion dollars
when you add interests and the continuing bills that we have to pay
over the x forty years that you go up to six trillion dollars
wasn't worth well what do we get well we've got a weapons of mass destruction
right
and of course as you all know there were no weapons of mass destruction
well so that was about to embarrass right no
not about the benefit all the enclosed as a comical idea
remember when palliser i said it could
our first morning sun might come in the foremost rem clout mushroom cloud like
he had nuclear weapons hillbillies norris libros en us
the problem with the saddam hussein and his it weapons of mass destruction that
didn't exist
the problem is when you want to go occupy the country for all your
then the people of iraq said hey you know what we're not interested in that
that was a different problem that we created
how well it was so i'm missing word with uh...
okay that they do not eleven absolutely not
every single report on that
has proven conclusively that in fact
even wash
has admitted yes of course he didn't give nine eleven whenever sadly he did
not a lot of it
camp implied it with every other service that we spoke
and sometimes flat out said it
but now they made yes it was a nine eleven either so what in the world when
we get for it
with dennis kucinich said that it might have been the oreo
near the beginning of the war
he was called of
he
demagogue
by even so-called liberal pundits on the washington post
richard quote said that
and he said thank god that richard perle who's in the o'connell war monger
who helped start the iraq war
was there on meet the press the answer percentage
and the called la wyatt was fixed
so well obviously was in the oil
what's interesting though is that david fromm who was one of the time you know
const who was in the bush administration
who wrote the line back schism evolve the bush delivered
says
curious
admission quote
in two thousand two television joined
the annual summer retreat of the american enterprise institute near vail
anshulb is the guy of course who that the new york house one and two put in as
a new leader right
he and cheney spent long hours together
contemplating the possibilities of a western warranted iraq
in additional source of or you know
and alternative the u_s_ dependency
uh... unstable looking savvy arabia
moon
so maybe it was the war
server two thousand two well before the war in two thousand and three
and there is cheney
meeting with a guy that they're going to believe they're going to put this falls
apart but it didn't work out that way
talking for hours about the iraqi oil
gee i wonder what it was about what they develop chuck hagel who happens to be
our sector depressed right now
back in two thousand seven as a republican senator from nevada nebraska
is a quote
people say we're not fighting for oil
of course waco heart
they talk about america's national interest
what the hell do you think they're talking about we're not there for the
fakes
as some of the most of us coming out of receipt of iraq
that's why they're problems tried to block him
to be obama secretary defence dislike that guy is actually honest
highlight alan greenspan
the head of the federal reserve
i'm saddened newness politically in commuter knowledge what everyone knows
iraq war
is largely
about or no
all right well
those are outside as they did not silly make a decision on the ground
that have central command in charge of a rack
our general john and said he would say that right
of course it's about the world
it's very much about the world
and we can't really deny that
that would seem to settle
by the way
metab anniversary of the iraq war today
bombings lit up a rack
sixty five dead
many more injured
the bombings have never really stopped we just stop paying attention to that
the civil war in iraq as they were really quite stopped yes
scum a little better
then that absolute bloodbath back in two thousand six
but it's not over
the city still hate this year's
this year's they'll be pursuing these and either one of them what's the kurds
weeks third that pot up
and when we get and by the way if we had gotten there well force
u_s_ companies
what would that i'm mad would you have just got nora would your ghastly cheaper
no you wouldn't have gone the oil
our company's that fund these politicians
would have gotten a loyal and the profits
and the one set of companies that are clearly
much more profitable after the war than before the war
the defense contractors
and people like how burton
who at the time of the subsidiary kpr which got
billions of dollars in no-bid contracts
and of course everybody knows who ran halliburton
that was the vice president
who seemed about oil before the war with ahmed shalaby
and wound up
pushing president bush and the rest of the country's willingly so with bush
and a lot of other republicans into that iraq war
that one of the in disaster for us
that killed us
our troops
treasury and now the republic of course turn around and say well we have no
money
his dick cheney spend it all in iraq
was it worth it
you'd have to be mental put think that it was
you'd have to be seen to think that
you'd have to be a defense contractor
warno romance
or both
dick cheney
and george w_ bush
