Let's Throw Money At It!

Now and in the future? Of course! First we'll bomb, then rebuild. Our corporate masters will be and have been pleased.

As you sift through MSM's report after report about why Iran should be bombed back to the stone age consider this:

The New York Times

The federal government has awarded more than $107 billion in contract payments, grants and other benefits over the past decade to foreign and multinational American companies while they were doing business in Iran, despite Washington’s efforts to discourage investment there, records show.

That includes nearly $15 billion paid to companies that defied American sanctions law by making large investments that helped Iran develop its vast oil and gas reserves.

As we pressure the world to increase sanctions, we haven't enforced our own!

But a New York Times analysis of federal records, company reports and other documents shows that both the Obama and Bush administrations have sent mixed messages to the corporate world when it comes to doing business in Iran, rewarding companies whose commercial interests conflict with American security goals.

Beyond $102 billion in United States government contract payments since 2000 — to do everything from building military housing to providing platinum to the United States Mint — the companies and their subsidiaries have reaped a variety of benefits. They include nearly $4.5 billion in loans and loan guarantees from the Export-Import Bank, a federal agency that underwrites the export of American goods and services, and more than $500 million in grants for work that includes cancer research and the turning of agricultural byproducts into fuel.

Export-Imports? Is this a Seinfeld episode?

But in 2009 the United States Army awarded the company a $111 million contract to build housing in a military base in South Korea. Just months later, Daelim, which disputes that its contracts violated the letter of the law, announced a new $600 million deal to help develop the South Pars gas field in Iran.

So, let's get this straight. One administration encourages business there, but considers it a part of the axis of evil, and our current administration looks to possible military attack? Is this Repub-Demo bizzarro world

Then, after bombing, we'll occupy and re-build....offering more companies billion dollar contracts.

Is the best business to be in ever!

Consider this.

Bin Laden: Goal is to bankrupt U.S.

"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript.

...

"All that we have to do is to send two mujahedeen to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al Qaeda, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private corporations," bin Laden said.

So easily we forget why Bin Laden said he attacked America and his stated purpose. Either that or elements in our government are working with Bin Laden to bring down America.

The only video I have uploaded here completely matches your thread-

The US is Zorg-




Economic stimulus through chaos.

Do you not get it? Makes perfect sense. /s

Chaos the eater of worlds.

I never understood the tactical advantage of this war. A group of people blow themselves up using our own planes, slipping through loose security procedures. So our response is to bankrupt our country and give corporations that wealth instead.

Military. Industrial. Complex.

The tactical advantage is to make it a staging ground for Afghanistan & Iran.
