    In regards to America pulling it's troops and equipment out of Iraq, effectively ending that Bush Family 'Oil War'.

    In Vietnam, Millions of US Military weapons, explosives, aircraft, helicopters, artillery pieces and vehicles were left behind, literally abandoned. They were happily accepted by the North Vietnam forces. The American taxpayers then were put on the hook to replace 150% of the abandoned and used equipment with newer, upgraded and hyper-expensive replacements.

    I don't see any difference with the unfolding foobar in Iraq. The Pentagon and vast US Military Complex are already writing up gigantic funding requests to replace and upgrade more US Military weapons and equipment than even entered Iraq in the first place. Making this yet another gigantic giveaway of US Military hardware in modern history and this occurring during one of the worse recessions in America's entire history. This marks just another crass and callous attempt to HOSE the American taxpayers for every dime possible by the US Military Complex.

    Of course I'm happy America is finally pulling out of Iraq and 'that' Bush Family 'Oil War'.

    China got what Saddam had repeatedly refused to give them, the Iraqi Oil field leases. Iran got the biggest prize America could give them, Saddams head and part of Iraq's government to greatly expand their influence into Iraq.

    Thousands of American's gave their lives, even more gave their blood, sweat, tears and nearly 1 Trillion taxpayer dollars to Iraq. In return the depraved and utterly corrupt Bush-Cheney administration gave CHINA the multi-Trillion dollar Iraqi Oil field leases for mere pennys. The American people and taxpayers got HOSED.
