City of Baghdad wants 1 billion dollars from the US

[Phokus]

So because I pointing out you should lead by example you want to shirk your moral responsibility to rebuild Baghdad?

Of course not, but if you want to 'start with me', lets be realistic, I wasn't the reason we invaded. It was you and your shithead brethren who decided to not only vote for an incompetent fuckwad, but you cheered him on as he did. The first step in absolving yourself is admitting your error.

So then lead by example. What is the problem? Because neo-cons started the war you dont want to pay? Was this fact not known before you made your proclamation about everybody paying for the moral responsibility to rebuild Bagdhad?

Anybody know the exact number of billions of dollars we can't account for from iraq?

We're all paying right now, aren't we? If anything, YOU should be pointing out that you shitheads owe the Iraqi people since YOU are the one that cheered this on. In fact, conservatives should start a fund to refund the American people for this debacle.

The whole point about 'everyone paying' is that there'd be fewer Arm Chair war porn asswipes cheering this shit on if they saw how much it costs. And hopefully you'd be ostracized from society as well.

Sounds like you changed your argument midway through the conversation once you decided to go down the ill advised track of telling us about moral responsibility to rebuild Bagdhad while you shirked such responsibility because of facts already known.

If we are already all paying, what is the point of pointing out everybody should pay?

Psst, i don't actually have a moral responsibility to shirk, you dummy. However, you and your brothers do.

Here's how having a tax and line item on your paycheck would pay out:

"Hey, i just noticed that this useless war is costing me 20% of my paycheck and there's a couple trillion more dollars to go over several more years. Didn't you vote for Bush? Go fuck yourself"

edit: Oh and i specifically mentioned 'neo-cons', realistically speaking, everyone would have to pay up:

Not only should we rebuild their cities, we should bend over backwards for them to make it better than before we invaded. That, and include a line item on everyone's payroll check that indicates how much of your check went into invading and rebuilding their country; that's the only way you shithead neo-cons will EVER learn - you don't fucking invade a country unless you have a VERY good reason with VERY good proof to back it up.

However, if you slimeballs had any honor, you'd refund our money RIGHT NOW.

Man why can't Iraqis be grateful for invading them on false pretenses? THOSE WELFARE QUEENS.

Conservatives are literally the dumbest motherfuckers on the face of this planet.

whats sad is even though this is true, you might as well argue with a driveway full of snow. no matter what you have to shovel the shit just so it can blow back onto what you already got done.

I don't know who's more disgusting, conservatives who still won't admit they were wrong or the ones that pretend like they never supported invading these days (i actually know someone like this)

In any case, these idiots need to be ostracized from society.

 

[Engineer]

That would be fine. I think we should do this for more aspects of govt. Like bailing out the banks, auto-unions in detroit, defense, social programs, highway system, the list can go on and on.

Buy my paycheck would be 250,000 pages long each week, and like Congress, I wouldn't read most of it! :sneaky:

 

[theeedude]

As long as they don't have public sector unions, the Republicans will be all for giving them the money.

 

[linje]

Iraq should have never been invaded,Just nuked.

 

[Engineer]

As long as they don't have public sector unions, the Republicans will be all paying Haliburton to rebuild Baghdad.

:awe:

There are no good guys in this story unfortunately.

Hey, guess what, when you invade a country, especially on false pretenses, you have a moral obligation. You don't fucking destroy a whole country and leave it in ruins. So, yes, you assholes owe the Iraqi people.

I know you're a bunch of shameless sleazy neo-con assholes who would just bomb them and leave them to die, especially with all the terrorists who invaded the country AFTER we invaded them, but you can't escape your moral obligation after doing something so disgusting. Take some personal responsibility for once.

I do agree it is our obligation(morals are for clowns) to fix up what we have destroyed, but we haven't really gone the right route for that imo. The war was such a cluster fuck because we tried to "nice guy" it, like that's even possible in WAR, and royally fucked ourselves. Would have been better to just destroy everything, cease complete control(as in our military runs the nation), until "reconstruction" was complete. But nooo we had to force "democracy" on people, who as a whole, don't understand it.

We owe them. They deserve it. What is the issue here?
