copy-pasta from chas freeman. i can respond with a copy-pasta from blackwill and slocombe ( http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/p...-united-states), but we can play that game all day. we both get it, it's a divisive issue. so let's talk practice instead of theory
why do you believe we went to war with iraq? do you think it was for democracy? for WMDs? for 9/11? no, we know it was for the oil and control in the region. what did that war cost us in terms of dollars, lives, and international esteem? now look at israel. what does israel cost us? it's a relative pittance. we've bought a proxy state in the middle east for next to nothing |
obvi a copy paste.
i would respond properly to this post but by the time i would have wasted 1 hour doing so, and you'll have already moved the goal post to another topic. in the end we'll just speak over each other and no one will listen. i think israel is a geopolitical liability and you think it's an asset, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle i.e. israel is a tertiary U.S. interest in a very complex and changing region that we are both oversimplifying shit
i wish you the best of luck in your determined mission to prove that you are right about a political point on an Elfsim forum
