"is it the right thing to do?" Invade Afganistan Yes we were attacked and we have a right to defend ourselves. Even if the government did set it up the people should of known not to do it that it would be used as propaganda to blow them up.
To invade Iraq no that was not the right thing to do AT ALL. Nothing and nothing good at all has come from this war except for lots of money being spent, lots of death, high high oil prices, and the only somewhat liberal country in a very old fashion area gone.

As far as if they stated its a hoax they may not or they may have frankly with news you never know but there is no reason why you should treat this news from this source any different than the news you would get from Fox News.

Well, first off you need to understand that "neocon" is short for "neoconservative". While some of them may soon become "cons", in the sense we're using it here, it's a whole different "con" we're discussing.

Neoconservative was first used as an psudo-insult to Dems that had fled to the right after the free lovin' 60's. They were simply "new conservatives" that had jumped ship.
When people speak of neoconservatism today, it traces much of it's roots to the ideologies of Leo Strauss. Some Dems would qualify as such; however, the neoconservatives in the Republican party have steadily gained political control over the right throughout the last 20 years. For more info you'd do well to research P.N.A.C., or delve further into Leo Strauss.

Both the 9/11 loss and war is a financial hit to the country. What motivation do we have to lose more money?

We know that Al Quaeda turned against us? Or is that they were used against us? It is the latter that I believe from the evidence I've seen.

None for us or the Country, But its not about "us" its about "them", they are gambling with our money and lives and keeping the profits, If "we" loose, It doesn't matter as long as "they" cash in, They are spending/losing our money to pay for war costs, This money goes to the Private contractors, from Mercs, to truck drivers, to whatever else...
Those who orchestrated these wars are tied in well to that very same private sector..
We lose, they win.

Neocons ADMIT that the 'War On Terror' is a Hoax!
www.opednews.com
Key war on terror architect Douglas Feith has now confirmed Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Wesley Clark in admitting that the so-called War on Terror is a hoax.
In fact, starting right after 9/11 -- at the latest -- the goal has always been to create "regime change" and instability in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Lebanon so as to protect Israel. And the goal was never really to destroy Al Qaeda.
Why is that these people are not behind bars, getting boned by someone from the cast of "Oz"?
I mean, it's like they actually want to be arrested, like they're saying, "Nyah, nyah, look at all the crazy # we did, we're evil bastards, now goddammit lock us up and throw away the key!"
Meanwhile, the country collectively yawns and changes channels to catch "Dancing With the Stars" or "Flavor of Love" or "insert name of mindless reality show here."
I'd suggest that we alter the voting laws to filter out mindless drones and nutjobs, but then we'd probably only get 15% of the population. Yes, I know I'm being overly optimistic about that figure.
It'd just be nice to be able to watch the news or read the paper and not find myself grumbling, "We are so #ed..."

Very true! That's the reason I stopped watching the news a long time ago. These days ATS ends up being my main source for the worlds goings on, which while not being perfect and a damn sight better I say!
I still hope though that something will switch in someone importance mind and make them blow it all wide open.
Ah to dream...
