Iraq conflict: US sends warship to the Gulf

[howerde]

The arms industries, probably can't believe their luck at this news, billing the tax payers for billions, of course in the name of freedom

There will never be peace there. It's a lost cause. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

not a loss cause for the military-industrial complex.

America is soon to be an energy exporter in a couple of years. For many years

Mideast policy was about maintaining peace in the area to ensure the flow of

oil. Now that is no longer true. So here is what I propose. Every last soldier in

the middle east should be pulled out. Every last dollar of aid should be stopped,

and diverted to repairing the infrastructure of crumbling America. Let them fight

among themselves until they reduce themselves to where they started, driving

camels around the desert. Not one more drop of American blood spilled there.

The world will cheer, and umpteen billion dollars will be saved. Win win.....

Regarding the export of terrorism, with America gone from the area, there should

be no need for that. And if a country wants to be vengeful and maintain the jihad,

simply inform them that if America is attacked again, in the future instead of

war planes in the sky, they will see tactical nukes headed their way.......

Do you mean like this.....

This is how it's done these days......
